Located in beautiful Griffith Park and given to the City of Los Angeles as a gift in 1896, the Greek Theater is an outdoor concert venue you must experience while staying in L.A.

Ticket prices vary widely and can often be somewhat expensive. Depending on the time of year, you'll probably want to bring along a sweater or jacket, since you'll be seated outdoors in a city that can get a bit chilly in the evenings.

Het Palladium werd beschouwd als de grootste dansclub in de wereld. Voordat het een club en concertruimte werd, wat het een locatie voor award ceremonies zoals de Grammy's en de Emmy's. Ondanks dat er nog sporen te vinden zijn van de oude bestemming, worden er momenteel luide concerten gegeven, iets wat de buren, die het nog herinneren als een locatie van waaruit de Lawrence Welk show werd opgenomen, niet heel gelukkig mee zijn. Bands die hier hebben opgetreden zijn: The Rolling Stones, The Who, David Bowie en The Clash. Ook worden er andere evenementen gehouden zoals seminars, conferenties en sociale evenementen.
