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.

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.
