From big pop productions to old school hip-hop…
It’s the third month of the year, meaning it’s time to March to the beats of your favorite music…That pun might have been bad, but we can’t say the same for the concerts that are happening this month in Los Angeles. The City of Angels always has a great rotation of concerts in the works, and March is no exception. Here at Loop Magazine, we like to keep our finger on the pulse, and have compiled a list of our favorite concerts happening this month.
March 2: Arlo Parks’ My Soft Machine Tour at The Wiltern
Originally from the United Kingdom, English artist Arlo Parks will finally be performing a show for her second studio album, My Soft Machine, in the town where she now lives. Parks will take the stage at The Wiltern for her 2023 album that was actually originally inspired by a line in the movie The Souvenir. Fans can expect to hear the album’s lead single “Weightless” as well as other tracks such as “Impurities,” “Blades” and “Pegasus.”
My Soft Machine is the artist’s second studio album. Her first one, Collapsed in Sunbeams, released in 2021 and made the top 3 of the UK Charts. It was also a contender for prestigious titles at the Brit Awards including Album of the Year, and Parks was nominated for Best New Artist and Best British Female Solo Artist.

March 4-11: Madonna’s The Celebration Tour at the Kia Forum

Guinness World Records claims that Madonna is the top selling female artist of all time with over 300 million records sold. Critics claim she is one of the first female artists to bring the music video to its full potential, knowing how essential costuming and storytelling are. She’s also been simultaneously praised and criticized for being confident in her sexuality, writing intimate songs as well as posing in erotic stances. Her most popular songs include “Lucky Star,” “Like a Virgin,” and “Material Girl.”
