The best upcoming concerts in L.A.

The LA Phil is entering its 20th season at the singular Walt Disney Concert Hall, and to celebrate the orchestra will mount a series of tributes to and collaborations with the hall’s architect. The season starts with an opening night gala in honor of Frank Gehry (Oct 5) and continues with appearances by Esa-Pekka Salonen (Oct 27–29), who conducted the LA Phil when Disney Hall opened, as well as the U.S. premiere of Thomas Adès “Tower – For Frank Gehry” (Nov 4, 5). The centerpiece, though, is a Gustavo Dudamel-conducted staging of Wagner’s opera Das Rheingold, with scenic design by Gehry (Jan 18–21). Look out for a display of Walt Disney Concert Hall models at the Getty in conjunction with the celebration.

A couple times a year, Minimal Effort brings together some of the top talent in the underground house and techno scene. They throw a helluva party that requires, well, minimal effort on your part to have a good time. For New Year’s Eve, Jimi Jules, DAVI, Cyril Bitar and HBB will be spinning at 1720.

Can’t get enough of his yearly appearance at the Bowl? The LA Phil follows up John Williams’s summertime set with the first of two years of live scores and concerts in his honor at Disney Hall.  You can see live scores of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Nov 2, 3) and Superman (Mar 15), plus a Gustavo Dudamel-led evening that includes a performance of a suite of Harry Potter compositions (May 18, 19). Expect Williams scores to also make their way into the David Newman-conducted “A Century of Film” program (Feb 2–4).

If you went clubbing at any point in the mid-2010s, it’s probably safe to say that you had at least one sloppy night dancing to “Get Low” by Dillon Francis (and DJ Snake). Since putting out his debut album, Money Sucks, Friends Rule, Francis has been ruling the dancefloor and festivals with his vibrant deep house mixes. Catch him in L.A. this fall with a trio of dates: an intimate set at the Roxy under his DJ Hanzel moniker, a Moombahton set at the Mayan and then a Dillon Francis and Friends show at the Shrine.

There’s basically one detail you need to know about this mid-’90s rock band: Keanu Reeves is their bassist. After a recent surprise show at the Roxy, the L.A. band is back from a two-decade hiatus and hitting the road, including a number of stops in SoCal.

Dubbed “The Trilogy Tour,” this arena show promises to be the true vida loca: Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull and Ricky Martin headline a pair of shows at the Crypto.com Arena.

KIIS FM’s annual holiday behemoth’s lineup reads like a roll call of the station’s playlist: Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Niall Horan, Miguel, Flo Rida, AJR, (G)I-DLE and P1Harmony will all take over the Forum this holiday season. The best seats will cost you a boatload, so look out for news of a free pre-show that usually precedes the main event.

Maná, Los Bukis, Alejandro Fernández, Hombres G, Pepe Aguilar, Gloria Trevi, La Ley, Café Tacvba and Los Ángeles Azules top this Latin music fest at Dodger Stadium.

Don something festive this December and head over to Royce Hall to listen to Christmas and Hanukkah classics. The 180-member Angel City Chorale, famous for its mish-mash of classical, pop, world, contemporary and gospel genres, is putting on “Holiday Homecoming,” its annual holiday concert. So get ready to hear a whole lot of fa-la-la-la-las at the holiday tradition.

The Boss brings some wailing sax solos, honky-tonk piano and garage rock energy to L.A. for a pair of dates at the Forum.
