With summer less than a month away, you’ll want to start making plans — fortunately, Los Angeles offers lots of great free events all summer long. One of the best options is KCRW’s Summer Nights, with a whole slew of outdoor music events throughout summer 2018.This year’s edition of KCRW’s Summer Nights begins on June 2. Now in its ninth year, Summer Nights offers dozens of fun, free, all-ages outdoor music shows over the course of the summer throughout the greater Los Angeles area, with venues as far north as Santa Barbara (at the Museum of Contemporary Art).
There’s a new first-time venue for Summer Nights this time around: KCRW’s new home base, located at Santa Monica College’s new Center for Media and Design. See below for the list of every KCRW Summer Nights show and get ready to celebrate our beautiful summer nights!
