The Godmother of Punk—and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, author and artist—is back again. Smith has taken to the L.A. stage in recent years in a variety of venues, from a lecture at the Getty to an intimate evening at the Teragram Ballroom. This time around, she and her band are performing her debut album, Horses—which Rolling Stone has deemed one of the 50 best albums of all time—in its entirety at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Accompanying her are original band members Lenny Kaye and Jay Dee Daugherty, as well as guitarist Jackson Smith and her longtime bassist, Tony Shanahan. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, February 14, at 10am.

Did last year’s Coachella catapult Sabrina Carpenter into the spotlight? Or was the onetime Disney Channel personality already on the precipice of pop superstardom?

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 7, at 10am.

KIIS FM’s annual holiday behemoth’s lineup reads like a roll call of the station’s playlist: Alex Warren, Audrey Hobert, Conan Gray, Feid, Jackson Wang, Jessie Murph, the Kid LAROI, Leon Thomas, Reneé Rapp and Zara Larsson will all take over the Intuit Dome this holiday season. And perhaps the most notable act of all: EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami—better known as the singing voices of HUNTR/X from KPop Demon Hunters. 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.
