FYF Fest has come to a close, but that doesn’t stop the endless amount of quality live music in Los Angeles. This week Budweiser and Live Nation bring Made in America featuring Kanye West, Iggy Azalea, Imagine Dragons and more. Ty Segall has a run of four shows at the Echo, while Burger Records delivers another knock-out bill at Los Globos. From Gipsy King, Terry Malts and Ed Sheeran — there is so much to chose from on this week’s show list. The best concerts happening in Los Angeles, Orange County and more neighboring cities are all here on Grimy Goods’ custom show list.
