As always, we handpick every single show that we recommend. Grimy Goods doesn’t just slap every show that’s happening in LA on our pages and call it a day. It’s all about discovering new artists we think our readers will dig, while also recommending well-known mainstream indie and pop acts. Because, as much as we love our small indie shows, we also love the excitement and energy of a big arena gig. It’s all about balance.

You can always find more upcoming concerts in Los Angeles through our weekly Best Shows in LA column.
