As New Year’s resolutions are put to the test and playlists are refreshed, another season of concerts also begins.

With artists ranging from R&B singers to beloved groups and rising indie favorites currently on the road, the next few months are set to deliver memorable concerts across several LA venues.

Read on to learn more about some of the shows the Daily Bruin hopes to catch this winter.

“Wings World Tour” (thủy)

Just four months after performing at UCLA’s Bruin Bash, thủy’s vocals will take flight in LA again.

The Vietnamese American singer-songwriter will be trading Pauley Pavilion for The Fonda Theatre on Jan. 28 as part of her “Wings World Tour.” The tour, which spans four continents, follows the release of her album “wings” on Oct. 4 and marks the third headlining tour of her career. With tickets starting around $40, the concert is anticipated to feature tracks from across thủy’s entire career, including hits such as “universe,” “i got it” and “D8.”

The “Wings World Tour,” which started Oct. 30 in Perth, Australia, rounds out an eventful year for the R&B singer, who held two sold-out concerts in Australia, appeared in New York’s Head in the Clouds Music and Arts Festival lineup and became the first solo Vietnamese American female artist to perform at Coachella. She will start this year’s leg of the tour in a sold-out show in Seattle on Jan. 21.

With her unique sound and catchy beats, thủy promises an experience that will bring fans to “cloud 11.”

“Paradise State of Mind Tour” (Foster The People)

Foster The People is out to alter minds this winter.

The indie rock band is returning to the stage with the “Paradise State of Mind Tour” and will play at the Hollywood Palladium on Feb. 6 and 7. Kicking off Jan. 25, the 23-city North American tour showcases the band’s 2024 LP “Paradise State of Mind,” with British duo Good Neighbours set to appear as a supporting act. Coming more than seven years after its previous album “Sacred Hearts Club,” the band’s new endeavor echoes the dynamic energy of the 1980s, from disco beats to quirky production that invokes instantaneous dance parties. Audiences can experience the acoustic slice of paradise with ticket prices as low as $60.

“Paradise State of Mind” mimics the band’s 2011 hit “Pumped Up Kicks,” which featured chilling lyrics set to a paradoxically upbeat score. In an interview shared by Live Nation Entertainment, lead singer-songwriter Mark Foster likened the album to a Trojan horse with cheery instrumentals masking a deeper message. Grappling with self-doubt as an artist and recovering addict, Foster claimed songwriting was his therapy, the music embodying hope in an overwhelmingly dark lyrical backdrop.

The band’s raw juxtaposition of light and dark is sure to hit home with fans, conveying the harsh struggles of life enveloped in a groovy disco production from paradise.

“Manning Fireworks Tour” (MJ Lenderman)

MJ Lenderman’s rise in the indie rock scene will continue this winter.

The singer-songwriter will perform two shows at The Fonda Theatre on Feb. 13 and 14 as part of his “Manning Fireworks Tour.” The tour supports his fourth solo studio album “Manning Fireworks,” which was released in September and became one of the most critically acclaimed LPs of 2024. Joining Lenderman as a supporting act on the LA stops will be rock band Wild Pink, and tickets start as low as $79.

Lenderman hails from Asheville, North Carolina and released his eponymous debut album in 2019. It was not until 2024 that Lenderman made his national television debut, demonstrating his live music talents to a broader audience by performing “Wristwatch” on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Outside of his solo material, he appeared last year on Waxahatchee’s acclaimed track “Right Back to It” from her lauded album “Tigers Blood,” which is nominated for Best Americana Album at next month’s 67th Grammy Awards.

With Lenderman’s second LA show falling on Valentine’s Day, the fireworks of his songcraft are sure to send sparks flying both on and off the stage.

“South of Here Tour” (Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats)

For one night only, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are heating up LA.

The denim-clad folk band will extend its “South of Here Tour” for two additional legs during the early months of 2025. Bandleader Rateliff and his seven-piece ensemble are set to dazzle the Kia Forum on Feb. 21, with tickets starting around $87. The genre-bending group will be joined by Waxahatchee and Iron & Wine and is expected to perform hits such as “David and Goliath” and “Remember I Was a Dancer” from its latest album, “South of Here.”

Formed by the Colorado-based singer-songwriter, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats began in 2013 as a musical side project and has subsequently flourished into an internationally recognized trailblazer for contemporary rock ’n’ roll. The band’s fourth studio album “South of Here” was released in June 2024 and features a blend of echo-heavy guitars, swaggering bass and lively horns. Deemed one of Denver’s “folk-pop heroes” by The New York Times, Rateliff’s affection for vintage R&B is especially spotlighted on tour as he sings of worldly woes and fervent romance.

For those looking to “Mellow Out,” Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ concert promises an evening of soulful sentiment and sound.
