The best live music in Los Angeles

When it comes to live music, Los Angeles reigns. Ours is a storied history, from the rambling folk history of Woody Guthrie to the rock 'n' rolling, raunchy ways of bands like the Doors, Van Halen and Motley Crue. And to this day, the city remains one of the best for amazing concerts—and amazingly free concerts—not in small part due to its wide array of venues, from gorgeous outdoor amphitheatres to hole-in-the-wall clubs and dive bars. There's a steady stream of impressive local talent here, and no big-name artist completes a tour without stopping in L.A. We've got it all, when it comes to live music in Los Angeles and we're damn lucky—see for yourself below.
