Josh Homme and his thrillingly intense band stir up their irresistibly sexy mixture of desert rock, blues, stoner metal and grunge. QoTSA’s limited-run Catacombs Tour, featuring all-new arrangements of the band’s songs, includes a stop at the Dolby Theatre, home of the Oscars. Paris Jackson will open. Tickets are pricier than you might expect, though: Though officially the show is sold out, resale tickets in the very top balcony start at $300.

The Godmother of Punk—and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, author and artist—is back again. Smith has taken to the L.A. stage in recent years in a variety of venues, from a lecture at the Getty to an intimate evening at the Teragram Ballroom. This time around, she and her band are performing her debut album, Horses—which Rolling Stone has deemed one of the 50 best albums of all time—in its entirety at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Accompanying her are original band members Lenny Kaye and Jay Dee Daugherty, as well as guitarist Jackson Smith and her longtime bassist, Tony Shanahan. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, February 14, at 10am.

Did last year’s Coachella catapult Sabrina Carpenter into the spotlight? Or was the onetime Disney Channel personality already on the precipice of pop superstardom? Ponder that as you wait in the ticketing queue for the “Espresso” singer and now-Grammy winner’s six shows at the Crypto.com Arena, a reprise of last year’s “Short N’ Sweet Tour.” Ravyn Lenae and Amber Mark join as supporting acts. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 7, at 10am.

With At the Drive-In back on ice (potentially forever), Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez are hard at work on their other project, post-hardcore kids-turned-Mahavishnu Orchestra-styled prog rockers the Mars Volta. The duo is touring behind their new album—the jazz- and electronica-influenced Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos del Vacio—including a stop at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 18, at 10am.

KIIS FM’s annual holiday behemoth’s lineup reads like a roll call of the station’s playlist: Alex Warren, Audrey Hobert, Conan Gray, Feid, Jackson Wang, Jessie Murph, the Kid LAROI, Leon Thomas, Reneé Rapp and Zara Larsson will all take over the Intuit Dome this holiday season. And perhaps the most notable act of all: EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami—better known as the singing voices of HUNTR/X from KPop Demon Hunters. The best seats will cost you a boatload, so look out for news of a potential free pre-show with some of the artists on the lineup.

Strike the electrified, amped-up harp and join the chorus: The KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas lineup is here. Don’t let its dainty Christmas name fool you—the annual concert is most definitely a plugged-in affair, featuring some of the year’s top mainstream, alt-rock radio staples taking the stage at the Kia Forum. This year’s nostalgic lineup is made up of bands that’ll take you back to middle school: The All-American Rejects, Evanescence, Rise Against, Social Distortion, Third Eye Blind and Yellowcard, plus newcomers Wet Leg and the Paradox. Tickets for the concert—which is only one night these days, not two—go on sale Friday, November 7, at noon here.
