Alright, it’s that time of year — next to Christmas, Thanksgiving week is the slowest concert week of the year! And that’s because of most of you L.A. show-goers aren’t even from L.A. and it’s surrounding cities! While the streets of L.A. simmer down this week, there’s still some rad shows popping off. This week we have Suicidal Tendencies with Trash Talk, Drake, Julianna Barwick, MNDR, together Pangea, Justin Timberlake, Bone Thugs n Harmony, and more good stuff. While keeping it selective, we’ve handpicked shows from all genres to satisfy your musical palette. The show listings with hot pink hearts are our top show picks! Let us know if we missed something good on our Los Angeles Concert Calendar (Nov. 25 – Dec. 1, 2013). ♥ = Best Shows
