LA Concert Update

We've got quite a plethora of acts who have announced tours recently. Here are some show's coming to the Los Angeles area in the near future:

First up we have Irvine's very own Thrice playing at Club Nokia on Saturday, June 16th. Tickets are currently on sale and range from $21.49-$31.50 + fees.

R&B singer Lalah Hathaway will also be playing at Club Nokia on Friday, April 6th. She is currently touring in support of her 6th studio album Where It All Begins, which was released back in October. Tickets go on sale Friday 3/2 and cost between $21.50 and $36 +fees.

And now something for the electronic music fans. British dubstep duo Nero will be playing a dj set at 4th and B in San Diego on Tuesday, April 17th. I know it's not an L.A. show like the headline would imply, but I thought I'd include it because they won't be playing a local show due to contract commitments with Coachella. Tickets go on sale Friday 3/2 and will cost $41.75-$58.80.

Hardcore punk band Off! will be playing an intimate hometown show at the Whiskey A Go Go on Tuesday, May 8th. The band plan on releasing a new album later this year at an unannounced time, but the fact that they will be playing for audiences means that they will likely be debuting some fresh material. Tickets go on sale Friday 3/2 and will cost $21.

On Monday, May 14th indie rockers The Drums will be performing at the El Rey Theatre in support of their sophomore album Portamento, which was released back in September. Tickets go on sale Friday 3/2 for $20.

Indie pop act Destroyer will also be coming to the El Rey Theatre on Wednesday, June 6th. Tickets go on sale Friday 3/2 and will run for a cheap $25.

Brooklyn noise pop duo Sleigh Bells (whose new album I recently reviewed) will be performing at the Fox Theater in Pomona on Wednesday April 4th. Though I am not the biggest fan of their new album, it has been received pretty well by most critics. Tickets go on sale Saturday 3/3 for $33.15.

Fear not, country music fans. I've got you covered. Billboard chart topping Zac Brown Band will be taking their act to the big stage at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on Sunday, April 15th. Tickets go on sale Saturday 3/3 and range from $40-$112.25

LMFAO will be taking their annoying ass Party Rocking Tour to the Staples Center on Saturday, June 5th. For anyone that wants to lose a few IQ points, tickets go on sale Saturday 3/3 and will range from $29.50-$69.50.

Old school metalheads rejoice! Iron Maiden is touring once again and will be playing the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine on Thursday, August 9th. Tickets go on sale Friday 3/2 and will range from $40-$156.50.

And finally, recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Guns n' Roses have just announced a trio of Los Angeles shows. Unfortunately, this will be the current empty shell of a GnR lineup and not the classic lineup that is likely to appear at the HoF ceremony. Nevertheless, Axl Rose and crew will be playing the Hollywood Palladium on Friday, March 9th, then play the Wiltern on Sunday, March 10th, and wrap up the string of shows with a performance at the House of Blues Sunset on Monday, March 11th. Tickets for each show go on sale Friday 3/2 and will cost a whopping $97.05, $101.70-$171, and $144 respectively. While the ticket prices are unreasonably expensive, keep in mind that these are pretty intimate shows for such a big band.
