Concerts

There are so many concerts in Los Angeles during any given week that, even if you stay just a few days, you can take in more than one of your faves. Ska fans can enjoy the Skatalites up-close at the Echoplex on May 22 and then a quite different, poppier take on the genre from Madness at the Kia Forum four nights later. If punk’s your thing, jet in for Stiff Little Fingers that same week, then stick around for local up-and-comers Niis opening for Starcrawler the next night.

Pearl Jam: Dark Matter World Tour - Kia Forum (May 21-22)

While forever associated with the grunge genre that they helped propel out of Seattle in the early 1990s, Pearl Jam is in truth simply a fantastic band that would’ve thrived in any era of rock ‘n roll. Pearl Jam has consistently released compelling records rendered instantly distinct by Eddie Vedder’s textured, anguished croon. But even by their lofty standards, their new album Dark Matter is an epic return to heyday form: urgent, restless and inspired, with all the musically muscular benefits of decades as a unit.

Stiff Little Fingers - The Fonda Theatre (May 22)
The Skatalites - Echoplex (May 22)
Starcrawler - Alex's Bar (May 23)
Topanga Days - Topanga Canyon (May 25-27)
Madness - YouTube Theater (May 26)
