While Tuesdays are normally a rather lackluster night for concerts and events, this week Tuesday is the happening night of the week. As you venture out to bid farewell to 2013, be sure to catch one of the fine NYE shows and events on our show list. Some top selections for New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles are the Entrance Band and Jeffertiti’s Nile at the Satellite, RHONDAPOLIS at the Standard DTLA, The Dead Ships DJ set at Black Boar, Boyz Noise at Shrine Expo Hall, and many more. There’s also some great shows popping off this week so be sure to check out our entire 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 (Dec. 30–Jan. 5, 2013).
