BUY TICKETS: Viet Cong at EchoPlex

Happy Friday, Scenestar readers. The end of the week is finally here—as is the anticipated debut of one of our favorite new acts, Viet Cong, who is our Show of the Night! Canada’s Viet Cong was originally scheduled to perform their first-ever L.A. headlining date at The Echo, but after it quickly SOLD OUT, the band moved the show to the EchoPlex. The buzz band’s 18+ show tonight is in support of their self-titled album release, which is out now via Jagjaguwar. Freak Heat Waves and Heathers are the openers.

If you can’t get in to our Show of the Night, your other music options include performances by Boots Electric, Broods, Enslaved, JMSN, Maudlin Strangers, Plague Vendor, Rummelsnuff, Stars, Umphrey’s McGee, Washed Out (DJ set), Lucinda Williams, and many more. Click here for ticket links and info on all of today’s shows as well as upcoming local shows on our concert calendar. For any further updates, be sure to also follow us on Twitter for any last-minute news and set times (posted daily in the comments section) if available for select shows!
