Los Angeles is set for a music-filled weekend, with some of the city’s biggest stages hosting can’t-miss performances. LCD Soundsystem brings its dance-punk energy to the Hollywood Bowl, while The Hellp closes out their North American tour with a hometown show at The Novo. Over at the Kia Forum, Tate McRae delivers back-to-back nights of pop anthems alongside special guests Zara Larsson and Alessi Rose, and Laufey teams up with Suki Waterhouse at Crypto.com Arena for a dreamy double bill. For those who prefer trading cards to concert tickets, the LA Card Show transforms Dodger Stadium into a collector’s haven with vendors, fan experiences, and appearances from Dodgers legends.

Two of music’s dreamiest voices converge for a double-night run at Crypto.com Arena.

LCD Soundsystem at the Hollywood Bowl — Sept. 25-26
