Music festivals within driving distance of L.A.

Well, I’m not okay after seeing the lineup for When We Were Young: My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy top the now-annual Las Vegas festival that features just about every emo-pop act from the early 2000s. Seriously, we’re not kidding: A Day to Remember, Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, Simple Plan, Coheed and Cambria, the All-American Rejects, New Found Glory, Motion City Soundtrack, Silverstein and more are all set to take over the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on October 19 and 20, 2024, with a special focus on each band’s most beloved album.

Looking for another excuse to escape to the desert? Try this team-up from Splash House and Goldenvoice, which are putting together an electronic music fest at the Palm Springs Air Museum. Kaytranada, Jamie xx, Club Heat (Tove Lo and SG Lewis) and Slayyyter top the mid-November event.

With its tongue exercise of a title, the Tyler, the Creator–curated hip-hop fest returns to Dodger Stadium for two days of live tunes, carnival rides, games, food trucks and more. The 2024 lineup isn’t out quite yet, but last year’s edition included the Hillbillies (Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem), SZA and Tyler, the Creator.

Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, Los Tigres del Norte, Banda MS, Juanes and Carlos Vives top this Latin music fest at Dodger Stadium.
