Experience the Cold War on a summer night where you can dance out the decades of tension with Wende Museum! It’s history meets harmony as KCRW DJs Chris Douridas and Francesca Harding spin under the stars while you wander through Counter/Surveillance — a globe-spanning exhibit exploring privacy, power, and personal agency. Don’t miss this debut with one of LA’s favorite museums.
A sing-a-long on the shore? Tell me more, tell me more! Grab your chairs and pack the popcorn for this week’s Moonlight Movie night at Granada Beach featuring Grease The Sing-A-long. Starting at sunset, you’re in store for a picture-perfect night under the stars. And for all those hopelessly devoted to their movie snacks, there’ll be food trucks and kettle corn vendors to satisfy every craving. Summer lovin,’ you’ll have a blast!
Ever thought of drinking your morning chai or bedtime chamomile out of a globe? Whimsical imagination comes to life with the Tea for Two collection, on display now at the Craft in America art gallery. From retro pots to rubber duck designs, each piece offers an avant-garde approach to the traditional teatime necessity. Then, top off your tea-riffic adventure with afternoon high tea at one of LA’s premier spots for sips, scones, and dainty sandwiches. Sounds like a perfect day brewing!
Sunset’s turning soulful at the Skirball with a double-dose of musical magic. JOJO ABOT kicks off the night with a mesmerizing mix of Afrobeat and spiritual soundwork that’ll stir your spirit. Then, Say She She spins a retro-funk fantasy full of disco grooves and irresistible energy. Come early to sip, shop, and soak up the scene with KCRW DJ Francesca Harding in the courtyard glow.
Getting to and from cool music, entertainment, and sports events around LA is easier with many Metro lines that serve popular venues. This week, you can take the Metro B Line to the Hollywood Bowl to experience King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, hop aboard the E Line to catch LAFC soccer at BMO Stadium, or ride the free Dodger Stadium Express to cheer on the boys in blue. Plus, there’s more than one quick and easy way to pay, including options to purchase Metro passes with your ticket for select events. Say goodbye to traffic and hello to nonstop fun!
King Gizzard is back — bigger, bolder, and backed by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. After their legendary three-hour psych-rock marathon in 2023, the genre-bending Aussie crew returns with Phantom Island, a fresh symphonic chapter in their ever-mutating catalog. From thrash to folk to synth freak-outs, no sound is safe — and with 27 albums (and counting), they’ve got plenty of sonic territory to explore.
