Though August may be the home stretch of summer, it’s far from the end of outdoor concert season in Los Angeles. Whether you’re looking for local bands or arena-caliber acts, these are the best concerts in L.A. this August.

Concerts in L.A. in August

  • USC/Exposition Park

Dave Grohl and co. play a pair of dates at the Banc of California Stadium. The show follows last year’s L.A. tribute to the band’s late drummer, Taylor Hawkins, and includes a not-quite-as-but-still-impressive slate of support acts: the Hives, Amyl and The Sniffers, Pretenders and Alex G.

I’m broke but I’m happy because Alanis Morissette is playing the Forum (and, let’s face it, we’ll be even more broke once we shell out for tickets). The singer-songwriter who we’ve all attempted to emulate during drunken karaoke is hitting the road, and she’ll be playing all the hits (and probably even more classic songs than you remember). Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and Morgan Wade open the August 10 show at the Forum. And I’m here to remind you that tickets go on sale Friday, November 17 at 10am, with presales starting as early Tuesday, November 14.

A little bit piano ballad a little bit pop-punk, the “driver’s license” singer hits the road in support of GUTS, the follow-up to her smash album SOUR, with a few nights at the Forum.
