Tuesday, February 5
Van Morrison @ The Wiltern [Tickets]
Van Morrison may be 73, but that’s not slowing the legendary musician from releasing new music. Last year he released two studio albums, You’re Driving Me Crazy and The Prophet Speaks. Both landed on the Billboard 200 charts. With a catalog that continues to grow and a catalog that carries staples such as “Into The Mystic,” it’s no wonder Morrison can still pack out venues.

Pink @ Hollywood Palladium [Tickets]

Travis Scott @ The Forum [Tickets]
Travis Scott performed a portion of his Hot 100 hit “Sicko Mode” alongside Maroon 5 at the Super Bowl Pepsi Halftime show on Sunday. The best part was La Flame’s short, SpongeBob SquarePants “Sweet Victory” intro. Following such a huge performance, Travis’ majestic Astroworld Tour continues, making its return to The Forum.
Jesse McCartney @ The Wiltern [Tickets]
Jesse McCartney can sing “Beautiful Soul” as many times as he wants to and it’ll still melt hearts. The pop singer released a more mature-sounding cut titled “Better With You” last year as his first single release since 2014. In January, he debuted the music video for his latest single “Wasted” with an album soon to come.
Saturday, February 9
Muse @ Hollywood Palladium [Tickets]
When Muse delivered their ’90s-tinged electro-album Simulation Theory in November it landed on the Billboard 200 charts. The British band’s tour is slated for sometime in the purported future with an emphasis on technology. With singles like “Thought Contagion” and “Dig Down,” their show should be a definite cerebral experience.
Sunday, February 10
Chris Stapleton @ Hollywood Palladium [Tickets]
