<p>It wouldn’t quite be Christmas in L.A. without this beloved festival. For many, the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas is an event we grew up with and, as kids, dreamed of attending. The Smashing Pumpkins, 311, Franz Ferdinand, The Linda Lindas, BBY, and more lit up the Forum like a big ole rockin’ Christmas tree. </p>
<p>This event is not your typical concert nor is it designed to cater to the masses. It’s a celebration for the kids and families in Compton, as well as the community of Watts. The unique focus of giving back to the community is what sets it apart. And on this evening, the stars sure shined bright on and off stage. </p>
<p>The 2025 West Coast Picnic is dubbed A Roots Picnic Experience: Class of ’95. The nostalgic event will feature a continuous set from The Roots featuring Lil’ Kim, Method Man & Redman, DJ Quik, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and many more.</p>
<p>Fousheé graced the stage in a black leather two-piece, Coyote Ugly-style, with her blond hair swinging and a Fender Stratocaster in hand. She was a force to be reckoned with, showcasing a killer stage presence and a clear goal: to bridge the gap between the alternative and R&B scenes while honoring her Jamaican heritage and her late grandfather.</p>
<p>Grammy-winning trumpet legend Arturo Sandoval is reinterpreting the holidays through a free-flowing jazz concert on Monday, Dec. 23, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.</p>
<p>This week in LA: Often at the Moroccan Lounge, Current Joys at the Bellwether, Aurora at the Shrine Auditorium, Interpol at the Kia Forum, Suuns at the Lodge Room, Kate Bollinger at Teragram Ballroom, Empire of the Sun at the Hollywood Bowl and more.</p>
<p>Stream songs from Nao, Scowl, N8NOFACE, Towa Bird, Benjamin Carter, Amelie Lens, Olivia Reid, Sharaya Summers, Munan, Vlad Holiday, Dua Saleh, Jordana, FKA twigs, LP Giobb w/ Danielle Ponder, Sofía Valdés, Father John Misty, Estevie, Jagged Baptist Club, and many more.</p>
