It’s Christmas week, and the ultimate slowest concert week of the year. This week’s show list is quite lean, but if you’re staying in L.A. during the holidays, there are still some rad shows to attend. We highly recommend one of the Growlers’ three shows at the Echo or maybe a dancing session at one of Dillon Francis’ nights at the Fonda. We also have shows with Murs, Circa Survive, the Game, the Aggrolites and more!
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 (Dec. 23–29, 2013).
