Whether you’ve got a date or are flying solo this year, some live music usually sounds like a good idea. This 2020, we rounded up some Valentine’s Day concerts happening in Los Angeles so you can celebrate the day of love with something you love. 😉
With a city as big as L.A., it’s almost impossible to list EVERY single concert that is happening, but we tried to curate a little something our MI friends would enjoy. We’ve included some new indie bands, a little r&b, a little shoegaze, and a whole lot of love.
Go out and have some fun!

Dashboard Confessional: 20 Year Celebration
Alright, this show at The Wiltern might be for the single ones out there, or just the super emo couple. As in any Dashboard Confessional show, expect lots of heart wrenching lyrics and possibly a tear or two. But it’ll still be fun and nostalgic, at least.
