Castle Rat at House of Blues Anaheim — they've been building buzz in the heavy/doom-adjacent space and this is one of the better local opportunities to catch them before the rooms get bigger.

What it was like

The Parish at House of Blues Anaheim, 400 W Disney Way. May 24th. Castle Rat — the band operating in the tradition of theatrical doom, heavy psych, and the visual world that heavy music has always conjured when it's doing it right — bringing their show to the Anaheim mid-size room that was built for exactly this kind of performance.

The Parish is the venue that puts the crowd and the stage in the right relationship for a heavy bill. The sound is designed for the frequencies. The standing floor creates the specific pressure of a crowd that arrived for the music and knows it. Castle Rat live is the experience that the recordings are blueprints for — the theatricality, the density of the sound in a room at volume, the set building toward something that pays off.

Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 24th. The Anaheim location makes this accessible from across Orange County and from LA. If you've been following Castle Rat's trajectory and waiting for the Southern California date on this run, this is the Parish show. Get your ticket before the floor goes.

LA Comic Book Convention June 2026
In 2 days · Jun 14 $4-$8 Shrine Auditorium, 665 W Jefferson…

The regulars know each other. That's the first thing you notice — the room has a history you walked into the middle of. The LA Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention at the Shrine Auditorium is the longest-running monthly pop culture convention in Los Angeles. Dealer tables with original comic art, golden and silver age books, horror movie posters, vintage paperbacks, and the people who have been collecting these things long enough to know exactly what they have. You won't find it all in one trip. That's the point — you come back. If you have a want list, bring it. The dealers here know their inventory and they will dig for you if they can. If you don't have a want list, you'll leave with one. The range is wide: a $3 box of beat-up Bronze Age books next to a signed original piece next to a box of 70s sci-fi paperbacks someone clearly loved and someone clearly moved on from. The people selling here have been here before. Most of the people buying have too. Sunday morning is the least crowded session and the most relaxed. Dealers are dealing. Collectors are talking to collectors. If you are new to this, Sunday is the right entry point — no crowds, no rush, the floor laid out in front of you. June 14, 2026 at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. Low admission. No corporate activation booths, no celebrity photo ops with 45-minute queues. Just the floor, the dealers, and the people who know why they're there.

Juneteenth Los Angeles 2026
In 7 days · Jun 19 Free Leimert Park, Los Angeles, CA 90008

In Los Angeles, Juneteenth centers on Leimert Park — the cultural heart of Black LA — and radiates outward across the city. June 19, 2026. The commemorations range from community festivals to museum programming to live music and spoken word, organized around a date that marks not emancipation itself but the end of its concealment: June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Texas were finally informed. Now a federal holiday. The city marks this in distributed, neighborhood-level ways. Leimert Park is the anchor — the community festival draws the largest crowd, and the neighborhood's identity as the cultural capital of Black Los Angeles makes June 19 a natural gathering point. Supplementary events run at the California African American Museum, at churches, and at community centers across South LA. Free to attend. The Leimert Park festival runs all day. Bring cash for vendors. Parking is limited — Metro reaches the area via the E Line.

Little Tokyo Anime and Culture Night -- Los Angeles June 2026
Tomorrow · Jun 13 327 E 2nd St, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Little Tokyo after dark is already a different city. Add an anime community that claims it on a Thursday night, and you have one of the few Los Angeles experiences that doesn't try to be Coachella. This is a neighborhood event run by people who actually live in the culture — not a convention, not a festival, not a sponsored activation. Just anime fans, good food, and Little Tokyo's block-by-block intimacy. The gathering rotates between Little Tokyo's best spots — restaurants, lounges, and venues that have their own identity outside of event night. The crowd is a mix of casual watchers and people who can quote chapter numbers. Both feel at home. Themed nights rotate through the seasonal anime calendar — currently tracking the summer 2026 lineup (Mushoku Tensei S3, Kagurabachi, Ghost in the Shell theatrical). Cosplay is optional but present. Vendor tables bring fan art prints, acrylic standees, and buttons from local creators. The format keeps things loose enough that you end up talking to strangers about seasonal lineups and leave with three new shows on your watchlist. For the SoCal anime community that lives outside convention season — between AX in July and SDCC in summer — this is what the in-between looks like. It doesn't peak. It's just consistent. Thursday nights, Little Tokyo. That's the rarer thing. Address: 327 E 2nd St, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Nearest metro: Little Tokyo/Arts District (A Line). Free street parking available after 8pm in most Little Tokyo lots.

Leimert Park Juneteenth Festival 2026
In 7 days · Jun 19 Leimert Park Village, 4395 Leimert…

Leimert Park Village transforms into the cultural center of Black Los Angeles every June 19 — and the 2026 Juneteenth celebration is the fullest expression of what the neighborhood has always been: a place where the African American community in LA comes to be seen, to perform, to buy, and to mark time together. The festival runs free and open to the public in Leimert Park Village, the historic arts district in South LA that has anchored Black creative life in the city since the 1940s. The day includes drum circles, jazz and DJ performances, spoken word and poetry, wellness programming, and a marketplace of Black-owned vendors selling food, art, clothing, and handmade goods. The Juneteenth Freedom Ride adds a physical dimension — 9, 14, and 19-mile bike routes through the neighborhood — making it one of the few cultural festivals that also moves through the streets it celebrates. This is the event's natural home. Leimert Park is where John Coltrane played, where Eso Won Books has been selling Black literature since 1988, and where the community gathers when something matters. June 19 is not a performance of celebration here — it is the real thing. Metro's K Line stops at Leimert Park Station. Free admission. Bring cash for vendors.

DESERT SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL - A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S
Tomorrow · Jun 13 128 S. Palm Canyon Dr., Plaza Thea…

The Desert Shakespeare Festival brings A Midsummer Night's Dream to Palm Springs in June — and the coincidence of Shakespeare's most enchanted play landing in a desert city at the peak of its warmest season is not lost on anyone in the room. The Plaza Theatre is a 1936 Spanish Colonial Revival venue that handles theatrical productions with the weight of a building built for exactly this. The acoustics work. The sightlines earn the architecture. A Midsummer Night's Dream in this room — the fairies, the lovers, the donkey, the mechanicals and their play within a play — reads as the kind of theatrical experience that reminds you why live performance exists when a screen approximation doesn't. Shakespeare in June in Palm Springs means the Plaza handles the climate so you don't have to think about it. The play is funny, and it is funnier in a room of people laughing together than it is on any page. Tickets at ticketmaster.com — the Festival brings professional production values to one of the most frequently performed plays in the Western canon, which means the baseline is high before the curtain goes up. Lock your seats before the summer dates fill.

Cult Classics Cinema Presents DREAMGIRLS
Tomorrow · Jun 13 226 Market St, The Miracle Theater…

The Miracle Theater, 226 Market St, Inglewood. June 13th. Cult Classics Cinema Presents Dreamgirls — the 2006 film that brought the Motown-era musical to the screen with Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, and Eddie Murphy, presented at a venue in Inglewood that understands exactly what this film means to the community that fills the room. Dreamgirls is not just a good film. It is the film where Jennifer Hudson delivered one of the most discussed single performances of the 2000s in "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." Watching that scene in a theater, with an audience that came specifically to be in the room for it, is the version of that moment that the movie theater was built for. The collective response to a performance that earns it is not something a living room replicates. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. June 13th at the Miracle Theater. Cult Classics Cinema curates these screenings with intention — the audience that shows up for a Dreamgirls screening at this venue has a relationship to the material. Come ready to feel something. The theater will take care of the rest.

Street Food Cinema screens The Birdcage in its 30th anniversary year at The Autry Museum of the American West in Griffith Park on Saturday, June 13, 2026. Doors open at 6:00 PM; film begins at dusk around 8:30 PM. The 1996 Mike Nichols comedy starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane remains one of the warmest, funniest ensemble films of its decade. Watching it outdoors with a crowd that loves it produces the best version of an already great film. The Autry Museum provides a picturesque lawn setting in the foothills of Griffith Park at 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027. Parking is available within Griffith Park. Food vendors, DJ music, and lawn games are on-site before showtime. Bring blankets or low-back chairs. Tickets are sold through the Street Food Cinema website. Outdoor screening events at The Autry sell out regularly in summer, so securing tickets in advance is strongly recommended.

Airplane! Live with Julie Hagerty and Robert Hays!
In 5 days · Jun 17 2200 East Katella Ave., Grove of A…

Grove of Anaheim, 2200 East Katella Ave. June 17th. Airplane! — the 1980 comedy that ran a joke-per-second ratio that no studio comedy has equaled since, delivered in a theater by Julie Hagerty and Robert Hays, the actual stars of the film, who are present for a live screening event that has no equivalent. Airplane! is the film that trained a generation to expect something funny every five seconds. The straight-faced performances, the background gags, the layered jokes that only land on the third viewing, the Leslie Nielsen deadpan that preceded the Naked Gun era — all of it is in the print that plays at the Grove of Anaheim. And then, after the film, the people who made it are in the room. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. June 17th. A live Q&A with the stars following a theatrical screening of Airplane! is not an event that happens regularly. The audience that fills the Grove on this night will have quotes memorized and questions ready. Come knowing the film. Come ready to laugh in a room full of people who love it as much as you do. "Don't call me Shirley." — you know the rest.

This already happened.

There's more where this came from.
