Other Events-
West Hollywood: The Sunset Strip Music Festival
This year's honorees, Motley Crue, return to their old stomping grounds after a stop at the Bowl earlier this summer. But it's not all hair metal. On Saturday, the Crue takes the outdoor stage along with unlikely warmups from political power-fighters Public Enemy and hipster drum and keyboard duo Matt & Kim.
Thu-Sat Aug 18-20. Multiple West Hollywood locations. $55 and up
Downtown: Hard Summer Music Festival
The dance music tour is usually just DJ beats blending into a bleary-eyed, all-night rave. Two acts make the LA stop noteworthy: James Murphy and Pat Mahoney of the recently deceased LCD Soundsystem perform together, and bug-eating horror-hip-hop sensations Odd Future are also on the bill.
Sat Aug 6. 1245 N. Spring St., Downtown. $70 and up here.
Orange County: Pacific Festival
A true kitchen sink mix. You've got the breathy female vocals and floaty synths of Phantogram, the folk-punk of Black Lips, and the trippy rhythms of Aussie electronic wizards Cut Copy. And then there's the headliner — Snoop Dog. Pack a cooler of 40s.
Sat Aug 13. Oak Canyon Ranch, 5305 Santiago Canyon Rd., Silverado. $75 and up here.
