What do you do when you “pop out” at the Forum with a show so widely watched and well-received that it decisively ends hip-hop’s most memorable recent beef? Why you take a victory lap, of course. Compton’s own unparalleled lyricist Kendrick Lamar returns to town post-Super Bowl for these shows at SoFi Stadium, part of the “Grand National Tour” that he’ll share with R&B superstar SZA.
We don’t know about you, but our mind is always focused on the weekend. It can never come soon enough—which is why we’re already thinking about what new restaurants we want to try or where we can drive for the day. Whether you’re looking to scope out the latest museum exhibitions or watch a movie outdoors, you’ll find plenty of things to do in L.A. this weekend.
We curate an L.A. weekend itinerary of the city’s best concerts, culture and cuisine, every week, just for you. Head to Pomona to fill up on deep-fried food and thrill rides before the L.A. County Fair closes on Memorial Day. Meanwhile, Cinespia is just getting its summer season started. Annual MDW traditions Fiesta Hermosa and Topanga Days are also great ways to spend the long weekend, as are a handful of Downtown and Hollywood pool parties. Or for a classy celebration, you can head into the San Gabriel Mountains to hear live jazz in the dome of the Mount Wilson Observatory.
