The Wiltern
April 22, 8 p.m. The Wiltern is offering five whole nights of
angsty indulgence by the only melancholic man of his generation to
shamelessly sport the pompadour. Tickets are available at
www.ticketmaster.com for $50-$65.
Kid Rock
Universal Amphitheatre
April 24, 8:15 p.m. Sometimes it’s just so hard to find a
good concert. You’re underbudget for the month, so you want
to go out, but all the shows you want to see have been sold out for
weeks. It is in situations like these that the wonder of Kid Rock
finally starts to dawn on your consciousness, when the idea is
simply to go out and not to go out and necessarily see something
good. Tickets range from $29.50 to $49.50 before Ticketmaster
charges take hold of your wallet. Check out www.hob.com for more
information.
