Fast forward to November: You've drained your bank account on holiday travel and gifts, with little leftover for upcoming concerts. And then Red Bull comes along—like a holiday miracle—with an entire month of top-notch shows all for $15 or less—or free.
Red Bull Sound Select Presents: 30 Days in LA is once again bringing a month of low to no-cost shows to Los Angeles. HAIM, Pusha T, SOPHIE + Charli XCX, Car Seat Headrest, Jeremih, AlunaGeorge and Nick Murphy (formerly Chet Faker) top this year's lineup. Each night in November, one of the city's best clubs—like the Roxy, the Regent, Avalon—or theaters—like the Wiltern, the Palace, the Theatre at Ace Hotel—will play host to a mix of established headliners as well as a stable of up-and-comers from Red Bull Sound Select.
In addition to traditional headlining gigs, the lineup also includes a mix of street fests and showcases, including a Highland Park block party from local producer Peanut Butter Wolf's Stone Throw Records, a Chicago-centric hip-hop showcase at the Mayan and the eclectic Afropunk Fancy Dress Ball at the historic Park Plaza Hotel.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday, September 20 at 10am. You'll need to register with Red Bull Sound Select, but it's free to join. With that out of the way, you'll be able to purchase or reserve up to two tickets per show, all of which are either priced at $15 or less, or free.
