This week’s best concerts in Los Angeles are popping with some big names, as well as some must-see underground acts. We have Muse playing a one-off LA gig at The Mayan, as well as Snoop Dogg at the iHeartRadio Theater and Lenny Kravitz at the Fonda. If you want to get your mind blown by some smaller acts, don’t miss out on Corners, The Moth & Flame, Ex Hex, The Vitals, Froth, and Fool’s Gold all playing shows this week.
