July is burning through with some very hot shows! Both the Hollywood Bowl and The Ford are in full swing with an incredible selection of outdoor summer concerts. This month, we’ll see The Rolling Stones, Missy Elliott, Chaka Khan, and Mac DeMarco gracing arenas and amphitheaters in L.A. On the indie front, we can’t wait to see Estevie, Buscabulla, Gossip, and Super Fan. Free summer concerts in Los Angeles are also in bloom with Helado Negro, Pearl & The Oysters, Julia Holter and more. It

Every month, we handpick all the best shows in Los Angeles, spanning all genres and venue sizes. We hope these hot show picks help you discover new artists and enjoy the acts that you already know and love.
