Labor Day Weekend Air Contest

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

It's 4:19pm. Why are you at work? Doesn't your boss know this is Labor Day weekend? Doesn't everyone get a half day off on Labor Day Friday?

But you, there you are, at work. (Like us.) You deserve something special. You deserve to be recognized.

You deserve to see Air under the stars up in the trees at the Greek.

With special guests Sondre Lerche and your boy, Sea Wolf.

They're coming Sept 21. They will only be playing four shows in the US for their whole tour. You should be going. We have some tickets. All of this was just meant to be.

We will give away two pairs of tickets on Tuesday. One pair will go to a randomly selected tirade about their worst boss or working experience. One pair will go to a randomly selected tirade about someone's best boss or job.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
