Kia Forum

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 four nights at the Forum and two at the Intuit Dome.

Once a “sweat-soaked garage band,” the four members of the Followill family have made the transition to arena-rock stardom with their integrity—err, somewhat intact.

Air-guitar like your life depends on it and enjoy the legendary Santana’s half-century discography. A now-dreadlockless Adam Duritz and the rest of the “Mr. Jones” crew share the bill for this show at the Forum.

Following the release of her fifth studio album, Pink Friday 2, at the end of last year, Minaj comes to L.A. for shows at both the Crypto.com Arena and Kia Forum.

Country star Kacey Musgraves mixes a classic, honeyed sound with a subversive lyrical take on the traditionally straitlaced genre. For her dates at the Forum, catch her with some pretty excellent support, too, thanks to opening sets from Father John Misty and Nickel Creek.

In any discussion of rock acts that have improved with age, English heavy-metal institution Iron Maiden has to come in somewhere near the top: Even if Bruce Dickinson can’t hit every screeching high note of his prime (cut him some slack, the guy overcame tongue cancer), he deploys his resources for maximum impact, something that could be said equally for his restless bandmates.

With bouyant beats and catchy refrains, Charli XCX teams up with charismatic pop singer Troye Sivan for their coheadlining “Sweat” tour, with special guest Shygirl.

Bubblegum pop-soul singer Meghan Trainor started behind the scenes in the music business, penning tracks for Rascal Flatts and Disney star Sabrina Carpenter before “bringing booty back” with her chart-dominating 2014 breakthrough, “All About That Bass.”

The Electric Light Orchestra are back in business for one last tour, with symphonic pop master Jeff Lynne playing the Forum. If past shows are anything to go by, this one promises more of the bombastic, string-laden ’70s outfit you know and love.
