These just-announced shows coming to Los Angeles are some of the best crops we’ve seen in a while. Whether you’re looking to lose yourself inside Flying Lotus’ experimental universe, dance under the stars with Sofi Tukker, or get your face melted by Gilla Band’s industrial-strength noise rock, there’s a little chaos here for every flavor of music obsessive. Across intimate club stages and iconic venues, these artists are bringing everything from post-punk tension and old-school soul revivalism to genre-defying rap and art-pop spectacle — the kind of lineup that reminds you why LA remains one of the best live music cities on the planet.
Rico Nasty, Empress Of at The Bellwether — June 13
Rico Nasty crash-lands into The Bellwether with her signature cocktail of rage rap, punk energy, and sugar-rush chaos, while Empress Of brings sleek synth-pop and emotionally loaded dance tracks for a combination of live music you won’t want to miss. Flyana Boss (DJ Set), Ally Evenson, AND LA Exes open the night — grab tickets before everyone beats you to it.
Dark Chisme at The Roxy — July 2
Get ready for a Chicano goth, darkwave, and post-punk cultural séance. Dark Chisme will pulse across The Roxy with low-end gloom and dancefloor heartbreak. Expect black leather, reverb-soaked guitars, and all the dramatic lighting. Secure your spot while tickets are available.
Flying Lotus at Blue Note LA — July 11-12
Flying Lotus doesn’t really perform shows so much as open wormholes, blending jazz fusion, experimental electronic, hip-hop, and cosmic improvisation into something that feels transmitted from another dimension. Seeing him inside the intimate Blue Note LA is the kind of flex people casually mention for years afterward, so act accordingly and snag tickets now.

Earth Eater at The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever — July 16
Drift between industrial pop, dark ambient, and avant-garde electronics with Earth Eater when she performs at the Masonic Lodge. With music that is the kind of theatrical menace that feels tailor-made for a cemetery-adjacent venue, the Masonic Lodge should amplify every eerie pulse and spectral vocal into full-body chills. Enter the void and claim your tickets before they disappear into the ether.
Sofi Tukker with DRAMA at Greek Theatre LA — September 19
Sofi Tukker turn dance-pop, house, and global club rhythms into a nonstop serotonin festival, while DRAMA warm things up with silky electronic soul and late-night groove perfection. The Greek Theatre is about to become the sweatiest, happiest place in Los Angeles, so lock down tickets and prepare your most irresponsible dancing shoes.
Ecca Vandal at Teragram Ballroom — September 28-29
Y’all probably already know how much we love Ecca Vandal. Catching her on tour is clearly a non-negotiable. Her music hits like punk, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative rock all got into a bar fight and somehow left as best friends. Her live shows are pure controlled chaos with enough charisma to power the entire block — get tickets now and witness an artist that is about to become a full-blown rockstar.
Thee Sinseers at The Wiltern — October 17
Thee Sinseers revive sweet soul, old-school R&B, and lowrider oldies with velvet vocals and arrangements smoother than freshly poured whiskey. Seeing their vintage heartbreak anthems fill The Wiltern will feel less like a concert and more like stumbling into the world’s coolest slow dance. Don’t wait too long to grab tickets, because this one will move fast.
Man/Woman/Chainsaw at The Echo — November 4
One word: OBSESSED.
Man/Woman/Chainsaw make gloriously unhinged post-punk and art rock that sounds like a nervous breakdown in the best possible way. Catching them in a small space like The Echo is exactly the kind of room where their noisy crescendos and jagged hooks can fully spiral into legend, so get tickets and soak it all in.
Gilla Band at Lodge Room — November 4
Gilla Band continues to prove that noise rock can be both brutally abrasive and weirdly hypnotic, hammering together industrial textures, post-punk tension, and sheer volume with frightening precision. Lodge Room may never emotionally recover from this performance, and honestly neither will you. Snag tickets before they sell out.
Genesis Owusu at Lodge Room — November 5
Another artist we absolutely love: Genesis Owusu. He bends hip-hop, funk, punk, soul, and art-pop into something wildly original, delivered with enough swagger to light the entire room on fire. Every live performance feels like a genre-blurring masterclass wrapped inside a fierce dance party, so stop debating and get your tickets before everyone else catches up.
