BUY TICKETS: Royel Otis at the Troubadour (8:00pm)

Feliz Cinco de Mayo, Scenestar readers. The first full week of May is here, and we have some reasons to get you out of the house, including a tour date by our Show of the Night: Royel Otis! The Australian guitar-pop duo will be playing the first of two intimate shows tonight, with Royel Otis headlining the Troubadour to kick off their just-announced "Meet Me In The Car Tour." You can also see Royel Otis perform live again in West Hollywood on Tuesday, May 6.

You can also see Royel Otis play a set at Ohana Festival 2025 at Doheny State Beach on Saturday, September 27.

In that case, your other live music options include performances by 5$tar Day, Fahim Anwar, Chezile, DD Osama, Glare, Kingfishr, King Hannah, Nick Kroll, Dan Levy, Los Principales, Los Rock Angels, John Mulaney, Frankie Quinones, Craig Robinson, Swing Kids, SYML, and many more.
