We love any reason to spend time in the great outdoors.
Especially when it involves live music. Suns out, temperatures are rising, the water is warmer, things are opening, it's the summer we have all been waiting so long to have and it's finally here. Together with our friends from Grassdoor, we've made a pact to make this the most memorable summer yet and it all starts with outdoor concerts and good company.
Scroll down to find all of the best outdoor concerts this summer from large capacity venues such as Hollywood Bowl to free, community concerts at Levitt Pavilion. While you're at the concert (or thinking about going to the concert) add to the fun and get your cannabis delivered to you with Grassdoor. Their ASAP delivery will drop off wherever you are - at a bar, at the beach or even at the concert before the headliner comes on. Now that's something special.

For sheer beauty and intimacy, it's hard to beat The Ford for summer entertainment under the stars. This year's lineup is heavy with culture and breakthrough artists. LA's very own The Marias will be performing their debut album alongside Youth Orchestra Los Angeles, see Bedouine with Killjoy String Quartet, the fun and vibrant Tune-Yards and singer-songwriter Devendra Barnhart. The opportunities are endless!
At our core, we've always been very rock n' roll. That makes Fivepoint Amphitheater the place to be this summer because of its killer rock lineup. Get tickets to see Rise Against, Coheed & Cambria an The Used, Megadeath and Lamb of God and the iconic Kiss all throughout the summer. We'll see you in the moshpit.
