Cinespia: "D.E.B.S." - Hollywood Forever (June 22)

In partnership with LA Pride, Cinespia presents a screening of D.E.B.S. at Hollywood Forever on Saturday, June 22.

The event includes a DJ dance party, free photo booth, beer & wine bar and food for every craving - or bring your own picnic!

Megan Thee Stallion
Amazingly, for a GRAMMY-winning artist with two Top 10 albums, this is Megan Thee Stallion’s first-ever tour. Megan’s performances on this tour belie its debut status, with the statuesque star as ultra-confident as her lyrics suggest and utterly at ease with spontaneous audience interactions. And yes, there will be world-class twerking at Crypto.com Arena, from Megan, her dancers, and concertgoers in the aisles and at one point in the set, on stage with their idol.Noah Kahan - Hollywood Bowl (June 20-21)

Eliane Elias - Catalina Jazz Club (June 20-23)
The Dollyrots - The Echo (June 20)
