Welcome, listeners, to “Things to Do in Los Angeles!” Today is Friday, September 19th, 2025, and Oly Bennet here, your passport-stamped, sport-loving, adventure-seeking guide to this city’s whirlwind of wild and wonderful events. Hope you’ve got your sunblock and adventure shoes ready because LA is beaming with energy! Cloudless skies and mild temps—just the classic SoCal backdrop for maximum fun.
This Friday, you’ve got a smorgasbord of events scattered across the City of Angels, ready to spark every kind of curiosity and craving. For fans of the epic and the electric, the Hollywood Bowl welcomes rock royalty as The Who takes the stage on their North American Farewell Tour. If you’re craving a musical trip of a different sort, the Greek Theatre promises an intimate, soul-tugging evening with The Swell Season. Meanwhile, punk lovers, get your Doc Martens ready! The legendary Circle Jerks headline the Hollywood Palladium, joined by Ceremony and Rocket From The Crypt—an absolute blast for anyone who loves their music loud and local, according to Discover LA.
Ready for some big energy and all-night dancing? At The Melrose House, “The Best Night Ever” delivers a global soundscape from Afrobeats to RNB to throwback hits—nothing says Friday like moving your feet until they plead for mercy. Or, over in DTLA at Resident, the “Do You Love Me Friday Banger” promises DJ sets, ping pong, and what might just be the city’s friendliest dance crowd for your late-night fix.
If you’ve got the family in tow or you’re feeling that early Halloween itch, Six Flags Magic Mountain launches Fright Fest tonight, unleashing haunted mazes and scare zones, while the LA Haunted Hayride turns Griffith Park into the eerie Midnight Falls, mixing classic scares with a dose of LA artistry.
But wait, lovers of cultural flair—hold your horses! Don’t miss the grand kick-off to Hispanic Heritage Month with the Rev Tour Festival 2025. Expect traditional folklore dance, live music, and family fun in true LA style, with the day morphing into a late-night, salsa-fueled celebration. Every ticket supports CHIRLA, so you’re dancing for a cause, not just for your soul, as highlighted by the Rev Tour event official info.
On the city news front, Los Angeles Union Station is celebrating its Train Festival this weekend, so get your model train fix and brush up on railway history. Metro is running extra service on the A Line in anticipation of the crowds, making transit as easy as a breeze—thank you, LA Metro for thinking of all us event-hoppers.
If you’re peckish for fresh bites, new pop-up taco stands and a vegan dessert truck just launched in Silver Lake and Atwater Village—keep your nose sharp and your appetite sharper. For artsy souls, the Natural History Museum’s Spider Pavilion just opened, so grab the kids or go solo and meet some web-spinning locals.
Top must-dos for the day? Swing by Venice Beach for people-watching and sunset basketball, snap some photos in front of the ever-changing murals in the Arts District, or check out The Last Bookstore—LA’s legendary labyrinth perfect for both the bookish and the Instagram-hungry.
Here’s your Oly local tip: If your wanderings bring you downtown, skip the standard latte and try a locally roasted café de olla, an LA nod to the city’s rich Mexican roots. Ask for it at Grand Central Market and you’ll look like an insider, not a tourist.
And don’t unplug just yet! Tomorrow, LA is turning up the volume with Art Laboe’s 100th Birthday concert, the Central Avenue Jazz Festival, and the full swing of the Train Festival at Union Station. Tune in for a fresh batch of fun, and let’s keep this great LA adventure rolling!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
