This week includes free shows on Hollywood Blvd with both Sir Paul McCartney and Justin Timberlake; who by the way, just performed incredible sets at the iHeartRadio Festival. Aside from those two heavy-hitters, our show list has a bunch of awesome underground and indie shows going off this week! Check out all the rad shows coming up this week on our show list! 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 (Sept. 23 – 29, 2013).
