The best upcoming concerts in L.A.

It’s hard to imagine a lovelier setting than the Huntington’s rose garden in bloom. Add in live music provided by the Pasadena Conservatory of Music, and there’s no better place to spend a Monday afternoon. Wander among the blooms while solo and duo performers share their strings skills on violin, cello and guitar. Admission is included with your $29 Huntington ticket.

Back for more after a farewell tour a few years back, the legendary rock band returns to town for two nights at the Hollywood Bowl. Billed as “Aerosmith & Friends,” the show has assembled quite the lineup of collaborators, including Guns N’ Roses, the Black Crowes, Run DMC, Heart, Billy Idol, Tom Morello, Sammy Hagar, members of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Alice in Chains, plus quite a few more folks. Note that the lineup will vary by night.

Pasadena’s own indie-folk queen Phoebe Bridgers plays a few homecoming shows at Intuit Dome. Like her preview event at Madison Square Garden, these Halloween-time dates on “The Lost Tour”—her final shows on the U.S. leg of the tour—are phone-free events; all phones, smart watches and accessories will need to be secured in Yondr pouches.

Are you listening? The anthemic Jimmy Eat World pairs up with reunited indie pop darlings the Format for this celebration of two aughts classics, Bleed American and Dog Problems, at the Hollywood Bowl.

With its tongue exercise of a title, the Tyler, the Creator–curated hip-hop fest returns to Dodger Stadium for two days of live tunes, carnival rides, games, food trucks and more. The lineup for the 12th edition of the carnival Turnstile, Steve Lacy, Future and Don Toliver, plus a performance from Tyler himself.

Time to dance away the sadness to the beat of a whole lot of drum machines: Darker Waves is bringing a bunch of ’80s new wave, post punk and alternative rock legends to Huntington Beach. Morrissey and Smashing Pumpkins top the lineup, with additional sets from Simple Minds, Bad Religion, Adam Ant, the Psychedlic Furs, Soft Cell and more, including some more contemporary picks like Silversun Pickups, Cold Cave and Mariachi El Bronx.

Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme headlines this benefit show at the Wiltern for the Sweet Stuff Foundation and CORE. In case the whole “doing good” part isn’t enough motivation for you, the stellar lineup sure might be: The evening includes appearances and performances by “Weird Al” Yankovic, Justin Willman, Norah Jones, Beck, St. Vincent, the Kills, Michael Shuman, Troy Van Leeuwen, Chad Smith, John McEnroe, Andrew Watt, Bill Burr, Sarah Silverman, Dean Delray and Dan Soder, plus an award presented by Jack Black.

This returning fest from industry titans Insomniac takes four stages of trance music to the Queen Mary waterfront—including the new Long Beach Amphitheater. For this year’s fest, you’ll find the likes of Above & Beyond, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten and Marsh, Dash Berlin, Aly & Fila, Vini Vici, Infected Mushroom, Artbat and Enrico Sangiuliano.

KIIS FM’s annual holiday behemoth’s lineup reads like a roll call of the station’s playlist: Olivia Rodrigo, Hilary Duff, RAYE, OneRepublic, SIENNA SPIRO, Freya Skye, Bella Kay, Stella Lefty and the Beaches will all take over the Intuit Dome this holiday season. The best seats will cost you a boatload, so look out for news of a potential free pre-show with some of the artists on the lineup.

Strike the electrified, amped-up harp and join the chorus: The KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas lineup is here. Don’t let its dainty Christmas name fool you—the annual concert is most definitely a plugged-in affair, featuring some of the year’s top mainstream, alt-rock radio staples taking the stage at the Kia Forum. This year’s nostalgia-tinged lineup includes Foo Fighters, Weezer, Sublime, Interpol, Joyce Manor, Julia Wolf, Almost Monday and the Linda Lindas.
