The 19 best live music venues in Los Angeles

Way back in 2017, Missy Elliott tore through her catalog of mega hits at FYF, and during her return to an L.A. stage for the first time in a decade, her songs sounded just as infectious as they were in the early aughts. Now, she’s back again for her (shockingly) first-ever headlining tour, which includes a stop at the Crypto.com Arena with Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland.

Singer Anitta brings a taste of Brazil’s singular dance parties to L.A. during the Baile Funk Experience, a relatively intimate tour that includes a stop at the Wiltern.

It’s been almost a decade since 24K Magic, but its foot-tapping facsimile of ’70s funk, ’80s disco-pop and ’90s R&B still hasn’t lost its sheen—and we’re betting that Mars’s party tunes will still have enough funk to get you uptown (or to the Inglewood’s new Intuit Dome, for these inaugural shows in the arena).

We’re not the only ones who’ve never been able to get “Mooo!” out of our heads, right? But singer and rapper Doja Cat has come a long way since her days as a cow, infiltrating pop radio with her silky retro-futuristic bangers and becoming a mainstay of music festivals—including this year’s Coachella. Before she steps on the stage, here’s everything you need to know about Doja Cat’s headlining set at Coachella this year. When is Doja Cat playing at Coachella this year? She’ll be performing on Sunday, April 21, during the fest’s second weekend (she already played on Sunday, April 14, during the first). What time will she come on stage? 10:25pm on Sunday, according to the scheduled start time for the second weekend of the festival. It’s worth mentioning that there’s a midnight curfew (that the festival has sometimes cruised past). What will the setlist look like? Of course, we don’t know the setlist in advance, but we can look at the setlist from her first weekend performance as a pretty good predictor. For starters, Doja Cat toured pretty extensively until the end of 2023 in support of last year’s Scarlet, and like that tour her first weekend set was mostly filled with tracks from it. The 21-song set included “Tia Tamera” and “Need to Know”—but didn’t include “Say So,” “Juicy” and “Kiss Me More,” all of which are among her most frequently performed songs.  What special guests might show up? There’s no guarantee the same guests will appear during the second weekend, but for the

For Angelenos, Tyler, the Creator is as much of a local cultural icon as he is a global rap superstar thanks to his GOLF WANG store on Fairfax and even his own annual hip-hop fest, Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. But his headlining set at Coachella is nonetheless a pretty big deal—so here’s everything you need to know about his performance at the Indio music festival. When is Tyler, the Creator playing at Coachella this year? He’ll be performing on Saturday, April 20, during the fest’s second weekend (he already performed during the first on Saturday, April 13). What time will he come on stage? 11:40pm on Saturday, according to the scheduled start time for the second weekend of the festival. It’s worth mentioning that there’s a 1am curfew (that the festival has sometimes cruised past). What will the setlist look like? We of course won’t know until Tyler actually takes the stage, but the first weekend’s setlist offers some pretty good ideas of what we can expect. “IFHY,” “Tamale” and his breakout hit “Yonkers” are among the staples of his sets, and they were all featured in his 22-song set during the first weekend. His last album, Call Me If You Get Lost, comprised the bulk of his first weekend performance, but as with his set at Camp Flog Gnaw last fall, there was a little bit of something pulled from all of his records. What special guests might show up? There’s no guarantee the same guests will appear during the second weekend, but for the first Childish Gambino performed with Tyl

Although ’90s punk band No Doubt has been given an “and…” credit on the poster for this year’s Coachella, the group’s reunion performance on Saturday night on the main stage is for all practical purposes a headlining set—and has already become one of the most talked-about acts of the year. That may be for a variety of reasons: No Doubt has not performed together since 2015 and, since then, Gwen Stefani, the band’s frontwoman, has become even more famous following multiple stints as a coach on The Voice. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming performance so far. When is No Doubt at Coachella 2024? The members of No Doubt—singer Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young—will take to the festival’s Coachella Stage during the second weekend on Saturday, April 20 (they already performed during the first weekend, as well on April 13). What time will the band come on stage? No Doubt is scheduled to perform at 9:25pm on Saturday night, the last act on the main stage before headliner Tyler, the Creator.  Any news on the setlist? For the first weekend, No Doubt’s 16-song setlist was filled with fan favorites including “Just a Girl,” “Sunday Morning,” “Don’t Speak,” “Hey Baby,” “Hella Good” and, of course, “Spiderwebs.” What special guests might show up? There’s no guarantee that special guests will be the same during the second weekend, but for the first Olivia Rodrigo joined the band for “Bathwater.” Has No Doubt performed at Coachella before? No

She’s played Coachella, she’s written a song about Coachella and she’s crafted a whole vibe that’s basically synonymous with Coachella. And now Lana Del Rey finds herself set to headline the first night of this year’s music festival. Here’s everything we know—and a few things we predict—about her performance before she takes the stage in Indio. When is Lana Del Rey at Coachella 2024? She’ll be performing on Friday, April 19 of the festival’s second weekend (she already played on Friday, April 12, during the fest’s first weekend). What time will she come on stage? 11:20pm on Friday—at least that’s the scheduled time for the second weekend of the fest. Note that there’s a 1am curfew (though one that the festival has sometimes cruised past). Any news on the setlist? We won’t know until she actually wraps up her performance, of course, but we can get a pretty good idea from combing through the first weekend’s setlist. The big hits were mostly all there in the 20-song setlist, including “Video Games,” “Born to Die” and “Summertime Sadness,” which make it into just about every show she performs (mainstay “Blue Jeans” was notably absent, however). Though Lasso, Del Rey’s upcoming country-inspired album, is due out in September, it didn’t make its way into the first weekend’s set at all. And neither did “Coachella – Woodstock in My Mind,” which she’s still never performed live. What special guests might show up? For the first weekend, Lana Del Rey brought out a handful of special gue
