Los Angeles Concert Calendar – Sept. 2 – 8, 2013 - Grimy Goods

Wu-Tang Clan at Coachella – Photo: Monique Hernandez It's Labor Day weekend week and there's some good shows this week! As always we find the best concerts going on in-and-around Los Angeles and weed out the whack so you can have a rad show list to chose from. This weekend is Rock The Bells with Wu-Tang Clan, Kid Cudi, Girl Talk and tons of other greats performers. If you can bare San Bernardino heat, we highly recommend you get your hip-hop on at Rock The Bells! Check out all the goods on our show list below! 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!
