Duran Duran
Rocktober is sweeping music venues all across Los Angeles this October. This cornucopia of concerts is the perfect opportunity to dance until you drop, headbang until it hurts, and groove until you just can’t groove no more. There are no genre boundaries or limits this month either. From diverse music festivals such as Supersonico Fest, Beach Goth 4, and The LA Bluegrass Situation to the dark, otherworldly sounds of Ghost and Danzig to an abundance of indie rock options such as Beirut, Braids, The Mynabirds and more, there is something for everyone. Best to get out there now and rock hard before the number of concerts to attend dwindles down due to the November/December holiday slump. Give thanks live music fans because Rocktober is here!
