Live Shows You Can Attend In Person This Summer In Los Angeles

Harry Styles and Guns N’ Roses, some of the live shows you can attend in person this summer

Everyone is saying Los Angeles is reopening but where are the live shows? They are coming, slowly coming. I didn’t know what to imagine when we are back to normal or semi-normal: will all clubs and venues reopen all at once? Will rock stars reschedule the big tours they had to cancel? Will small places reopen first?

This is not really as I would have imagined it, some announcements are popping up here and there, you have to look everywhere, on different pages (some have even disappeared) but it’s certainly not happening all at once. There’s nothing happening right now, but there is some hope for late May and June, while more concerts are announced for July, August, and of course fall. Here is what I have found for the upcoming months. I have omitted all the tribute shows (strangely, there are a lot of them) and the drive-in shows since they don’t really count. But look at what I was able to compile till the end of August, it’s not bad! Some of these shows could still be canceled or postponed, but hopefully, many more will be added. I am happy to see plenty of shows coming up at the Greek, which is an outdoor venue.

There are also some big names on the list: Justin Bieber, Guns N’ Roses, Harry Styles (Jenny Lewis is opening), and the Hella Mega Tour with Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Weezer. Live shows you can attend in person? Summer is back, sort of:
