The best concerts happening in Los Angeles, Orange County and more neighboring cities are all here on Grimy Goods’ custom show list. It’s Coachella week number two!

Don’t let the Coachella music festival FOMO get you, there are still some great concerts happening in Los Angeles. So if you’re not going to Coachella, enjoy the mellow traffic in Los Angeles as half of the city will be in the desert!
While keeping it selective, we’ve handpicked shows from all genres to satisfy your musical palette. The show listings with hot pink hearts are our top show picks! Let us know if we missed something GOOD on our Los Angeles Concert Calendar (April 14 – 20, 2014).
