This classy art deco gem packs 'em in for shows from the indie-rock likes of My Morning Jacket, the Hives and Beach House, as well as the odd comic act such as Ron White or Tenacious D. Concerts are seated or standing-room-only, depending on the act. The sight lines are a plus, but elbow room in the best spots can be at a premium.

Musical nerds of all ages each recognize Idina Menzel from different monumental works. She was in the original cast (and movie adaption) of Rent, picked up a Tony for her turn as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, in Wicked, and let it go as the voice of Elsa in Frozen. Now, Menzel—or Adele Dazeem if you’re John Travolta—heads to the Wiltern with a performance of her stage and silver screen hits, as well as her solo recordings.
Most recollections of Bikini Kill—we suppose this one included—start with the trio’s legacy: their pioneering place among riot grrrl acts and the streak of fiery feminism they’ve inspired in music to this day. But the songs also stand alone; only a few seconds of female bonding anthem “Rebel Girl” is enough to convince you that Bikini Kill was onto something special. After a couple of reunion tours in recent years that counted L.A. among its few stops, Bikini Kill will once again come to town. Frontwoman Kathleen Hanna, drummer Tobi Vail and bassist Kathi Wilcox will play the Wiltern in August.
Happy-sack piano pop crooner Ben Folds has been on a progressive kick as of late, but still expect plenty of thumpingly fine and melodically sussed collegiate pop.
The emo-tinged, pop-punk melodies of New Found Glory fill the Wiltern and the House of Blues for these two SoCal dates.
The tight-tee-wearing, rock-icon yogi hits the Wiltern for a few relatively intimate evenings of solo songs and Police hits.
