With rampant FOMO this past weekend over the nearly impossible-to-get-into unbelievable show at the Echoplex by one and only rock legends, The Rolling Stones, you my need a little boost and we have just what you're looking for. With a Stones show at The Staples Center to kick off their "50 and Counting" tour, you can get your fill of Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie in the flesh. And the fun doesn't end there, with many other shows featuring artists like The Killers, Pyyramids and and Little Boots to see this week to cover your live music fix.  We've gathered all the best ones happening in the area for you in this handy guide, so grab a friend, a lover, or just roll solo and go see a show!

The top two headliners for the 2013 Governors Ball have been released, and it's the most impressive lineup to date. Kanye West and Kings of Leon top the bill, appearing alongside a third artist yet to be announced. Kanye will be performing his first solo show in NYC since 2008, and it'll be Kings of Leon's first show in the city since 2010. We did some investigating of our own, and we think we've figured out the third headliner. Check out who our money is on below! More»

We've long been fans of the FYF Fest, dating back to the days when the alternative and indie rock themed festival had less corporate sponsorship to worry about and cheerfully printed the "F**k Yeah!" now implied in the name on their official tickets and banners. While we're general supporters of open profanity, the perfectly acceptable tradeoff in recent years has been the rapid expansion and improvement of the lineup, which last year featured beloved acts like Guided By Voices. But FYF organizers (which include co-sponsors like Goldenvoice) are clearly not yet satisfied, and they've proven it with an M83-led 2012 lineup, just announced this morning, that we feel safe saying is the best yet. All the details after the jump! More»

Simply put, no matter what genres you are, or aren't, into, you're in for a treat this week, so why not make tonight the night that you Go See A Show? More»
