We’re here to assuage your music festival FOMO: While Coachella attendees stand shoulder-to-shoulder in a dusty field, you have the luxury of watching those same sets while curled up on your couch in a pair of pajamas. You can tune into the Coachella live stream from the comfort of your own home and watch most of the action. Here’s everything you need to know. Where can I watch the Coachella live stream? For the second year in a row, Coachella will again stream live from six stages of the fest—double the number of channels compared to previous fests—and across both weekends. New this year, if you’re watching via the YouTube app on your TV, you’ll be able to pull up a multiview option with streams from four stages at once (though audio from only one at a time, otherwise that’d be chaos). To tune in, head to the Coachella channel on any device starting at 4pm PDT on Friday, April 19 through Sunday night, April 21 (the stream also broadcoasted during the fest’s first weekend, which was Friday, April 12 through Sunday, April 14). We’ve embedded all six channels below, as well as the schedule for each.

Outdoor movies combine two things we love about L.A.: an appreciation of movie-making and spending as much time as possible outside. Alfresco screenings usually start to pop up across the city in the early spring and continue into the fall and holiday season, be it atop rooftop bars, at L.A.’s best parks or even at a Hollywood cemetery. Most of our favorite outdoor series fall into two formats: Alfresco screenings where moviegoers bring their own chair or blanket and can pack together some picnic food, and rooftop ones where you’ll be offered a seat and some on-site snacks as you catch films both old and new. (If you’re looking for a fun date idea, this one takes the cake.) Be sure to check back all year long for updates on the list, as new screenings are always being added. Looking to see a new movie any night of the week? Check out the best movie theaters in L.A. or the few remaining old-school drive-in movie theaters. And for some at-home inspiration, you can always catch up on the best L.A. movies of all time. For screenings with multiple movies on a single night, each film is separately ticketed unless otherwise noted. Also, movie selections tend to change, but we’ll do our best to keep the list below updated on a weekly basis.

There are a million podcasts out there, and 2024’s releases are showing no signs of slowing down. There’s already been a load of bangers since the beginning of the year, and here at Time Out, we’re determined to listen to them all. After all, how else are you going to know which one to choose? We’ve rounded up our favourites, from political podcasts that look behind the news to comedy podcasts with your favourite funny people, and plenty of those all-important investigative whodunnits to keep you up at night. If you’re looking to dig deeper into one genre, we’d recommend trying our specialist lists on for size (you’ll find them below). But for a full list of good, addictive podcasts of every genre, read on.  RECOMMENDED:🎧 The best podcasts on Spotify😂 The best comedy podcasts 🗞️ The best news podcasts💤 The best sleep podcasts🎶 The best music podcasts

We don’t know about you, but our mind is always focused on the weekend. It can never come soon enough—which is why we’re already thinking about what new restaurants we want to try or where we can drive for the day. Whether you’re looking to scope out the latest museum exhibitions or watch a movie outdoors, you’ll find plenty of things to do in L.A. this weekend. We curate an L.A. weekend itinerary of the city’s best concerts, culture and cuisine, every week, just for you.

Ok, so you’ve decided, for whatever reason, that you really, really want to get away from Los Angeles for a while. We’re talking a ‘jump in the car, pick up some groceries and get as far away from other people as poss’ kinda getaway. But sometimes, for these kinds of trips, conventional vacation rentals simply won’t do – so where should you go? Well, luckily Airbnb is packed full of secluded rentals perfect for getting away from it all. We’ve scoured everything within a three-hour radius of L.A. for the region’s finest Airbnbs, all of which offer a bucketload of space, acres of clean air, and a whole load of peace and quiet. Just a quick note: We’ve included a couple of guest houses in our list, but all of them offer separate entry and private amenities. Updated April 2024: We've added two desert properties in Joshua Tree to the list, both offering a whole lot in the way of outdoor activities (think transparent bedroom domes, cowboy tubs and the ultimate movie night set-up).  RECOMMENDED: 🏕 See the 10 best Airbnb cabins near L.A.🌴 Check out L.A.'s most unique rentals💰 Discover the most luxurious Airbnb rentals in Los Angeles Who makes the cut?

Whether tucked into your wallet or stuffed into a drawer, there’s a chance you already have an L.A. Library card. But did you know you could be using that card for way more than just books? (Not that we don’t love books, of course.) Having a library card can get you tickets for museums, score you free beach parking, outfit you with hiking essentials and grant you access to everything from tech to tools to TV shows. So we’ve put together a list of some of the most useful and unexpected perks and services you can unlock with a library card—all for free. Most of these perks are available online or at one of the L.A. Library’s city-run branches, though we’ve also specified which ones are also available (or in one case solely) at separately-run L.A. County Library locations. Psst: Anyone in California can get an L.A. Library card, not just city residents. It’s the same story for an L.A. County Library card.

Television used to be considered one of the lowest forms of entertainment. It was derided as ‘the idiot box’ and ‘the boob tube’. Edward R Murrow referred to it as ‘the opiate of the masses’, and the phrase ‘I don’t even own a TV’ was considered a major bragging right. And for a long time, it was hard to say that television’s poor reputation was undeserved.  A lot has changed. Television is now the dominant medium in basically all of entertainment, to the degree that the only thing separating movies and TV is the screen you’re watching on. Now, if you don’t own a television – or a laptop or a tablet or a phone – you’re basically left out of the cultural conversation completely. The shift in perception is widely credited to the arrival of The Sopranos, which completely reinvented the notion of what a TV show could do. But that doesn’t mean everything that came before is primordial slurry. While this list of the greatest TV shows ever is dominated by 21st century programs, there are many shows that deserve credit for laying the groundwork for this current golden age. Chiseling them down to a neat top 100 is difficult, so we elected to leave off talk shows, variety shows and sketch comedy, focusing on scripted, episodic dramas, comedies and miniseries.  So don’t touch that dial – these are the greatest TV shows of all-time.

If we could write the rules of living in Los Angeles this would be our No. 1, always at the top of our list: When you live in this city, there’s no excuse for boredom just because it’s a weeknight. There are hundreds of things to do in Los Angeles each week, whether you hit the beach at sunset or go for a morning bike ride, or catch a concert or a comedy show—and that’s really only scratching the surface. Well, we don’t make the rules, but we will provide you with plenty of ideas for your next free weeknight right here. Now go out and tackle these things to do in L.A. this week.

There’s nothing better than a well-stocked, friendly-staffed bookstore. Los Angeles has lots of great independent retailers offering art books, travel guides, political tomes and children’s tales; some even have coffee shops inside. Check out these top bookstores in Los Angeles for the best bargains, out-of-print titles, author readings and community events; they’re a great place to find gift ideas, escape a sweltering (or rainy) day or pick out your next favorite novel.

Easily the most jet-setting desert oasis around, Palm Springs sprouted into a resort destination in the early 20th century. Ever since, the California city has been beckoning visitors with its arid landscape, golf courses, handsome mid-century vacation homes and increasingly excellent restaurant scene. While many will devote their entire stay to simply lounging by hotel pools (make no mistake, we encourage doing plenty of that), there are indeed other things to do in Palm Springs. The area also caters to the adventurous and energetic, especially winter and springtime hikers looking for opportunities to get up into the mountains or explore craggy desert rock formations. Seasonally, it becomes the epicenter of cool during Coachella and hosts highlights like the design-focused Modernism Week. The scorching heat keeps things pretty quiet in the summer, but no matter the time of year you can embark on historic home tours, visit botanical gardens and maybe even see some snow on a one-of-a-kind tram ride.

L.A.’s perpetually pleasant weather (occasional triple-digit summer days aside) means never-ending opportunities for outdoor dining. But sometimes, even a proper place setting on a patio feels too formal. For those occasions, we take advantage of the many beautiful picnic spots in Los Angeles. From a bench in a park to a blanket on the beach, here are the 20 best picnic spots in Los Angeles for a casual but memorable alfresco meal. Need to bring some snacks along? Here’s where to stock up on picnic food.

It isn’t summer in L.A. until the first cemetery screening brings hoards of movie-lovers to Hollywood Forever, toting folding chairs, picnic blankets, snack spreads and lots of booze. Each year, Cinespia brings classic cult favorites to the hallowed resting place of such Hollywood greats as Rudolph Valentino and Bugsy Siegel. The series typically releases its slate one month at a time, with summertime screenings at the cemetery and a few off-site ones on either end (including at L.A. State Historic Park and, for the first time, at the Rose Bowl). For each evening at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, pack a picnic (yes, booze is allowed), pose in the photo booth and enjoy DJ sets, dance parties and all sorts of other magical mischief that’d otherwise be strictly forbidden behind the cemetery gates. The outdoor screenings are an L.A. rite of passage, a quintessential summer experience and one of the best film venues in the city. Just be sure to get your ticket early, arrive early, pee early… it’s a popular affair, to say the least.

It’s nearly release time for Taylor Swift’s next album, The Tortured Poets Department, and Swifties are busy parsing together clues all over the Internet in order to find out, uh, something. The latest Easter egg hunt ahead of the album’s release: an IRL installation at the Grove. From April 16 through 18, Spotify is teaming up with Taylor to mount a poetry library at the open-air shopping mall, with shelves filled with “books and visual surprises” that hint at the direction of the new album. The installation will be updated each day leading up to the release on April 19. Note that entry to the area is on a first-come, first-served basis. Paging all Tortured Poets:Join us at The Grove in L.A. starting tomorrow to celebrate Taylor Swift's newest era, arriving 4/19. 🤍 pic.twitter.com/46MJb3O3bk— Spotify (@Spotify) April 15, 2024

Consider Arrive the Goldilocks of Palm Springs hotels: Its butterfly roof nods to the area’s mid-century architecture while staying fresh with industrial-chic touches, its 21-and-over policy and pool bar keep things more placid than party and its relatively intimate 32-room setup avoids the cold busyness of a high-rise hotel without incurring the honeymoon prices of small secluded spots. It’s roughly a mile from the most walkable stretch of the city’s downtown, but that bit of distance keeps things considerably more low-key here. Rooms are spacious and bright and strike the right balance between sophistication and fun; tropical wallpaper behind the bed adds color and personality without going overboard on retro charm. Aside from a window on the front door (which, don’t worry, has a pull-down shade), all of the rest are relegated to the tops of the walls, which provides tons of natural light while maintaining plenty of privacy. Storage is very limited (though you’ll likely live in a bathing suit during our stay) and we really would’ve loved an in-room coffee maker or kettle (you’ll instead have to drop a few bucks at the adjoining coffee shop). The ground-floor patios are cute if inessential; consider opting for the otherwise identical upstairs studios for at least $30 less per night. As any good Palm Springs hotel should, the pool is the center of attention and Arrive has really nailed that part: The pool and hot tub themselves are exceptionally spacious, with plenty of seati

The Hollywood Bowl is beautiful even when it’s empty (when there’s no performance, the iconic venue doubles as a county park). But when there’s a show—when picnic basket-toting concertgoers amble up the hill and fill amphiteater’s 18,000 seats—it’s simply magical. The summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since 1922, the Bowl is simply unlike any other concert venue in L.A.; seeing a show here isn’t just a performance, it’s an experience. The gates typically open two hours prior to showtime, when guests stream in and start to claim the picnic areas. Yes, you can bring your own food, and even your own bottles of beer and wine for LA Phil-produced shows (as opposed to lease events, which aren’t BYOB friendly). Being just about anywhere inside the Bowl feels electric, but of course where you sit does still matter (the bulk of the venue is bench seating). If you’re able to splurge on the box seats (which can cost hundreds of dollars each), you’ll be treated to four foldable chairs with two tables that pop open for the ultimate pre-show picnic. On the opposite end, if you’re booking tickets early you might be able to nab $1 bench seats all the way in the back for some LA Phil shows. If you don’t want to drop a ton on seats but do still want a taste of a premium experience, consider booking a reservation at the Backyard, an open-air restaurant right next to one of the huge screens that flank the stage. Reserve an early time slot and you’re welcome to wine and dine right up un

Downtown’s Pez Cantina trades its chips and guac (and margs) approach for more of a California-meets-Mediterranean affair at this similarly seafood-focused Old Pasadena expansion. The coastal-colored dining room brings some welcomed buoyancy to this formerly pubby street corner, though Pez Coastal Kitchen keeps things slightly more casual than destination-worthy neighbors Union and Perle. Load up on starters and crudo for the menu’s most inventive entries, like the “ravioli,” a pasta-less dish that wraps ahi tuna in raw scallops with a delicious bath of Baja ponzu, or bluefin tuna that comes perfectly seared and ready to mop up the avocado labneh and truffle-lime vinaigrette underneath. Cocktails emphasize gin, tequila and mezcal (we particularly liked the Lady Bug, a beautiful-and-balanced mix of tequila, amaro and blackberry), while the hyperlocal beers are practically begging to be paired with the crispy on the outside, soft on the inside yam skins, which come dipped in a bed of green tahini and whipped feta.  

Every two years, Disnerds come together at the Anaheim Convention Center to celebrate all things Disney and see what sort of magic the company has been working on. Show floor highlights include a peek inside the Disney Archives and the latest ride designs and inventions from Walt Disney Imagineering. If you can secure a seat, the weekend’s keynotes include the celebrity-filled Legends induction ceremony and a look at upcoming releases from Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and both animated and live action Disney movies, as well as the latest from the Disney theme parks. When is this year’s D23? You’ll find the show floor and most of the panels at D23 at the Anaheim Convention Center from August 9 to 11, 2024. The convention center hours are from 9am to 7pm each day. The three headlining panels will all take place at the Honda Center this year, including the film and TV-filled Disney Entertainment Showcase on August 9 at 7pm, the theme park-focused Disney Experiences Showcase on August 10 at 7pm and the Disney Legends Ceremony on August 11 at 5pm. Wait, what’s this about the Honda Center? That’s right, to accommodate more guests in the company’s ever-popular showcases, the three main events above have been moved off-site to the Honda Center. Expo organizers tell us that each of these events will hold about 12,000 people, almost double what they’ve been able to in the past. Seating will also be entirely reserved ahead of time (more on that in a minute) so there’s no need to queue for h

For dinner and a movie, all in one, just follow the food trucks. During the spring, summer and fall, Street Food Cinema throws together a series of outdoor parties—usually alfresco, sometimes in a drive-in format—that include screenings of some of our favorite movies, paired with an assortment of gourmet food trucks and even a live music performance from a cool local band. The screenings are held in venues across L.A. and alternate from week to week, so make sure to check the schedule. Some of the outdoor venues are dog-friendly, allowing you to bring your four-legged cinema lover along. See more of this season’s outdoor movie screenings in L.A.

The New York export lands in L.A. for its fifth art fair in February. After first debuting in the surreal setting of the Paramount backlot and then decamping to a space next to the Beverly Hilton, the event has since settled on a site-specific tent in the southeast corner of Santa Monica Airport. Frieze’s massive tent is packed with impressive galleries—and its surrounding grounds with lounges and local favorite food—but the price of admission will likely keep out most casual art fans. Thankfully, Frieze is about more than just the fair: Its arrival attracts major openings at free gallery shows all across the city in the days surrounding the event.

Let the wild rumpus start at this celebration of beloved children’s author and illustrator Maurice Sendak. The Skirball Cultural Center will be displaying more than 150 sketches, storyboards and paintings from the Where the Wild Things Are creator. Titled “Wild Things Are Happening: The Art of Maurice Sendak,” the exhibition debuted at the Columbus Museum of Art in 2022 and will sail off (metaphorically speaking) to visit L.A. from April 18 through September 1, 2024. Admission costs $18 for adults, with discounts for students, seniors and children; it’s completely free to visit on Thursdays. In addition to his own books, In the Night Kitchen and Outside Over There among them, the exhibition will spotlight art that Sendak created for a handful of other authors, including Else Holmelund Minarik’s Little Bear, as well designs for Mozart operas and books. The show will also focus on his personal and family life, with portraits he shot, toys he designed and insight into his life as a child of Jewish immigrants and a lover of Romantic music and art.

As Coachella has become increasingly pop-friendly, promoter Goldenvoice has made it up to aging locals with more and more genre-focused music festivals with stellar lineups. The latest such case: No Values, a fest filled with punk legends you’re almost sure to find in Gen X’ers T-shirt drawer. The Original Misfits, Social Distortion, Iggy Pop, Turnstile, Bad Religion and Sublime top the lineup for the June 8 show at Fairplax in Pomona, with additional sets from the Dillinger Escape Plan, Power Trip, the Damned, Joyce Manor, Suicidal Tendencies, the Vandals, Black Flag, the Jesus Lizard, L7, the Dead Milkmen and more.

We thought this year’s Hollywood Bowl lineup was already kenough, but here’s one more addition that has us dreaming in pink: Barbie will screen at the Bowl this summer with a live orchestra performing the score. On July 27, conductor Macy Schmidt will lead the Barbie Land Sinfonietta, an all-women, majority women-of-color orchestra, in a performance that accompanies a showing of the Greta Gerwig film. As is the case with the majority of LA Phil-produced shows, tickets are currently only available to subscribers, but single tickets will become available on May 7.

With eight main stages plus a pair of fest-within-a-fest stages, Coachella can become as much a feat of time management as it is one of stamina. The music festival does a pretty good job of minimizing conflicts, but inevitably sets start to overlap or have in-person attendees flocking from one side of the field to the other. To make your life a little easier—whether you’re watching from in person in Indio or on your living room couch—we’ve sorted out what you need to know about Coachella weekend two set times, as well as the live stream schedule. How can I stream weekend two? Head to the Coachella channel on YouTube starting at 4pm PDT on Friday, April 19 through Sunday night. The festival will be streaming basically all of the sets from six of the main stages after 4pm (the second weekend has dropped the Sonora tent in favor of the Yuma tent). You can also watch up to four at the same time using YouTube’s new multiview feature. When the fest wraps up for the day around 1am, the channel will normally go right into a repeat of the first day’s sets. Once the next day’s stream starts, though, you’ll be limited to select highlights from the previous day. The timing of the streams matches up perfectly with the in-person stage schedule, which you’ll find below. You can see the full day-by-day streaming schedule in our larger guide to the Coachella live stream. What are the weekend two set times and schedule? We’ve included the entire schedule below—in both text and image form—but b

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

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

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

Ever since the LA Phil has taken over the programming for the Ford, the Hollywood Bowl’s smaller sibling has felt like a welcome bonus to the Bowl season. And once again, after looking over the just-released schedule, that’s absolutely the case at the Hollywood Hills amphitheater. For the 2024 season, which runs from mid-July until Halloween, you can catch sets from Guster (backed by the LA Phil), the Airborne Toxic Event, José Feliciano, Devendra Banhart and Bonny Light Horseman; hang out with the hosts of Vibe Check, listen to a live episode of Song Exploder on the Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs, and see Alan Cumming and NPR host Ari Shapiro debut a new cabaret show; and watch a series of Studio Ghibli screenings, including Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, and a pair of Street Food Cinema events for The Shining and Young Frankenstein. Tickets are on sale now for packages of three or more events; single tickets go on sale May 14 at 10am. For the three kid-friendly L.A. Soundscapes shows, each full-priced ticket includes up to two free children’s tickets. If you’ve never seen a show at the Ford before, here’s a quick rundown: The roughly century-old outdoor theater sits just on the other side of the 101 from the Hollywood Bowl. But unlike the staggeringly huge Bowl, the Ford and its castle-like stage are intimate by comparison with only 1,200 seats (and the same picnic-friendly policy). Even at that smaller size, parking is still a stac

What’s summer in L.A. without a little bit of classic cinema in a cemetery? Cinespia has already announced a brief slate of off-site movies in May in Chinatown and Pasadena, but now the cemetery screening series has released the first batch of films it’ll be showing at its Hollywood home. Se7en (May 26), Legally Blonde (June 1), Dazed and Confused (June 8), Across the Universe (June 15), an L.A. Pride-partnered screening of D.E.B.S. (June 22) and What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (June 29) round out the first of Cinespia’s screenings at Hollywood Forever Cemetery this year. If L.A.’s not-as-macabre-as-it-sounds rite of passage has eluded you, here’s the deal: Since 2002, Cinespia has projected movies onto the side of a mausoleum at Hollywood Forever. Thousands of picnickers show up early to claim a spot on the Fairbanks Lawn and dig into their BYO snacks and drinks (yep, including beer and wine—though not at the L.A. State Historic Park screenings). That’s in addition to the hot food, popcorn and beer and wine for sale on the grounds of the outdoor movie series. It’s not just the cemetery setting that sets Cinespia apart: Each screening is preceded and followed by a DJ set, as well as some remarkably elaborate photo backdrops that you can pose in front of for free. For example, for this June’s lineup you can expect a bubblegum pink photo booth for Legally Blonde and a Beatles-themed one for Across the Universe.

Hace unos meses anunciamos que Lana del Rey pisaría Barcelona como cabeza de cartel de uno de los festivales de música más importantes de España. Ya ha empezado la cuenta atrás para disfrutar del concierto que la artista hará en el Primavera Sound 2024, que este año se celebrará del 29 de mayo al 2 de junio en el Parc del Fòrum. Ya es habitual ver a la estadounidense actuar en festivales: el año pasado estuvo como cabeza de cartel en el Lollapalooza de Chicago el pasado 2023 y este año ha empezado también como artista principal en el festival Coachella, uno de los más importantes del mundo. Quizás la actuación del día 12 de abril en el desierto de California pueda darnos pistas sobre cómo será el concierto de Barcelona, pero parece bastante improbable que la neoyorquina haga su entrada en motocicleta o que invite a cantar a Billie Eilish como hizo en el Empire Polo Club de Indio. Y no, no faltaron canciones tan conocidas de su repertorio como 'Born to die', 'Summertime sadness' y 'Video games', el 'hit' con el que se dio a conocer, además de algunas de su trabajo más reciente 'Did you know that there's en tunnel under Ocean's Blvd' (2023). ¿Cuándo actuará Lana del Rey en el Primavera Sound 2024? El concierto de Lana del Rey en el Parc del Fòrum será el 31 de mayo, el segundo día del festival, aunque todavía no han anunciado el horario exacto de las actuaciones. ¿Sabemos cuál será el 'setlist'? No sabremos el 'setlist' hasta que termine su actuación, pero podemos ha

If you see a flash in the night sky in Los Angeles, it’s likely fireworks or a blown transformer (and once or twice a year lightning). A bright bulb just kind of hovering there? Likely a helicopter or the LAX flight path. And a bright fiery streak across the sky? Rarely a shooting star, but otherwise pretty much always a rocket launch. Indeed, that was the explanation for Monday night’s otherworldly light streak above Southern California: SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base, a bit up the coast from Santa Barbara. The 7:30pm launch on April 1 delivered 22 satellites into low-Earth orbit, the latest Starlink mission from the Hawthorne-based company and its reusable rockets. Photograph: Michael Juliano for Time Out Vandenberg—formerly an Air Force base and now a Space Force one—has hosted launches for decades, whether it’s satellites sent to space, missiles being tested or some other classified payload being launched into orbit. Chances are, though, that you don’t notice most of these launches: During the day they’re barely visible and well after dark they look like a little flare floating upwards across the sky. But when the timing is just right—usually 30 to 60 minutes after sunset or before sunrise—these rocket launches leave behind an out-of-this-world display in the sky. Dubbed the twilight phenomenon, high-altitude light from the setting sun catches the rocket’s vapor trail, which turns its exhaust plume into a jellyfish-like kaleidoscope

If you’ve gotten off at the brand-new Metro stop right behind the Broad, you might’ve noticed that the Downtown museum’s parking garage has a whole lot of empty space on top of it. Well, it turns out that was being set aside for some pretty major plans. The Broad announced on Wednesday that it’ll be building an expansion right behind the existing museum. The Hope Street-facing structure will feature three floors of new gallery space as well as two open-air courtyards. The museum will break ground on its expansion by early 2025 and expects it to be open before the 2028 Olympics. Before we dive into the details, to answer what might be your most pressing question: Yes, the museum will continue to be free to access, and it’ll remain open during construction, too. There’ll be a whole lot more art to see, too, once it’s done, with 55,000 square feet of new gallery space, a 70% increase over the museum’s existing footprint. The Grand Avenue institution is already stocked with works from contemporary art stars like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jeff Koons and Barbara Kruger, but the Broad says this expansion will provide space to focus on comparatively more overlooked artists and movements, as well.

Any time out-of-town visitors say they want to see the Walk of Fame, Angelenos start rattling off a dozen reasons why they shouldn’t. But a new city initiative is trying to turn Hollywood Boulevard into the type of destination you’d actually want to show off. The “Access to Hollywood” project will introduce bus and bike lanes to Hollywood Boulevard, as well as widen sidewalks and improve pedestrian safety; it’ll also eliminate a lane of car traffic in each direction and slightly reduce on-street parking. Construction is set to begin by the end of the year and a temporary version could debut by early 2025; a still-in-design permanent implementation will follow. If your memory can penetrate the fog of 2020, this might all sound familiar: The City of Los Angeles first unveiled concepts early that year for a similar makeover, with more details released in 2022 and work that was supposed to kick off in 2023. “Access to Hollywood” continues these same plans (under a slightly delayed timeline now) and unites it with an adjacent pedestrian safety initiative to the east. The result: a 3.6-mile span of Hollywood Boulevard, from La Brea Avenue to the intersection of Fountain Avenue and Sunset Boulevard, with protected bike lanes, as well as bus lanes from Orange Drive to Gower Street. Courtesy CD13 “This project is about making our community safer and transforming how residents, workers and visitors use Hollywood Boulevard,” said city councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, whose district t

Eschscholzia californica is as essentially Californian as Disneyland, In-N-Out and Huell Howser. Never heard of it? You probably know it better as the California poppy. When we’ve been bestowed with plenty of wintertime rain, our beloved state flower dots the region in bright golden blossoms. We Angelenos are particularly lucky to live less than two hours away from the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve—a more than 1,700-acre park of poppy-blanketed hills. The Poppy Reserve isn’t the only place to see wildflowers, but it’s definitely usually the dreamiest. The reserve (parking lot at roughly 15101 Lancaster Rd; $10) is open year-round from sunrise to sunset, but it’s only dotted with poppies for a very small slice of the year. So before you hit the freeway, make sure you keep these things in mind. Photograph: Time Out/Michael JulianoAntelope Valley California Poppy Reserve in 2023 Follow the bloom status. As of mid-March, there are essentially no poppies to see yet. (Note: All of the photos in this story are from the mid-April peak of the bloom in 2023.) In the most recent dispatch from the reserve, the parks department notes that some fiddlenecks are visible as well as some tiny baby poppies, but otherwise if you went right now you’d see nothing but green-ish hills. That said, if the weather remains mild, the agency expects 2024’s showing to be better than last year’s. Speaking of, 2023 was an odd year at the reserve: It received snow (snow!) in late February, which
