Things to do
- Belle and Sebastian: Scottish indie pop band Belle and Sebastian have been throwing down upbeat, charming tunes since their very first album Tigermilk in 1996. Their latest (and 12th!) studio album, Late Developers came out last year. They also collaborated with Suki Waterhouse on her 2023 summer b-side, "Every Day’s a Lesson in Humility." Frontman Stuart Murdoch and the band are playing two equally intimate venues downtown across three nights. We love the United Theatre at the Ace for the acoustics and art deco vibe; the Bellwether is one of L.A.’s newer spots to catch live music and is mostly standing room.
Check out our full list of things to do this weekend.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
