Best things to do this week in Los Angeles and Southern California: February 3 - 6

I am still not over the St. Vincent x Nirvana collab from FireAid and will be crying to Stevie Nicks doing "Landslide" a hundred more times. I think that concert was the release we all needed, whether you were in person at the Kia Forum or the Intuit Dome or at home on the couch, music is always healing and those performers showed so much genuine love for Los Angeles.
And guess what? It’s FINALLY February.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
