Los Angeles is one of the finest music cities in the world, which is both a gift and a curse: There’s always a ton of great music being played somewhere, but there’s so much of it that it can be difficult to sort through it all and find the best stuff. If that’s a problem you’ve faced, you’re in the right place: Keep reading to find a list of the concerts in the Los Angeles area that are worth your time for the week of September 23.

Polo G @ The Novo [Tickets]
At the top of the year, Chicago’s own Polo G landed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with his multi-platinum hit single “Pop Out” featuring Bronx-bred rapper Lil Tjay. The 20-year-old rap star’s No. 1 debut studio album Die A Legend has already been certified Gold and features Gunna along with Quality Control’s Lil Baby on “Pop Out Again,” a remix to the pop-drill original.

Tobi Lou @ The Echo [Tickets]
Tobi Lou‘s music is bright, colorful, experimental, and undoubtedly fun. The Chicago native unleashed three projects last year in the form of Tobi Lou And The Moon, Tobi Lou And The Loop, and Tobi Lou And The Juice. Tobi’s magical presence so far has been marked by the success of his single “TROOPS” featuring Smino and “Waterboy.”

Rick Ross @ The Belasco [Tickets]
In August, Grammy Award-nominated rapper Rick Ross released his tenth studio album Port Of Miami 2, the sequel to 2006’s Port Of Miami. The hip hop veteran’s music catalog comes full circle with his enchanting Drake-assisted single “Gold Roses” and project standout “Nobody’s Favorite” featuring Gunplay. At this point in the Maybach Music Group CEO’s career, catching Rozay perform some of his most popular hits such as “Hustlin” and “Stay Schemin'” live is a must.
CupcakKe @ The Echo [Tickets]
Three years ago CupcakKe shared Cum Cake, her very first mixtape which included her breakout track “Deepthroat” and last year she unleashed a fourth studio album titled Eden. The provocative rapper was originally supposed to tag along with Iggy Azalea on Azalea’s Bad Girls Tour, but it was canceled. Now, she’s on her own tour so the chances of catching CupcakKe perform “Old Town Hoe” live are high.
Father @ Catch One [Tickets]
Indie Atlanta rapper Father is making his return to the music scene and his latest cut “Handful” is proof of his homecoming. Last year, Father inked a creative deal between his label Awful Records and RCA, which hopefully means a full-length project from Father is near.
Saturday, September 28
Tegan And Sara @ Orpheum Theatre [Tickets]
