LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4, 2026. Luke Bryan's 2024 run through Southern California showed how big country music has become in a region better known for pop and hip-hop. Three stops in one corner of the state would have been unthinkable for a country act 20 years ago. Today the biggest shows in the genre aim for stadiums, and Los Angeles has one stadium that every touring act wants on its résumé.
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at 3939 S. Figueroa St. opened in 1923. It hosted the Summer Olympics in 1932 and 1984 and will become the first stadium to host three Games when LA28 arrives. Its peristyle arch and Olympic torch are some of the most recognizable sights in the city.
On the Coliseum calendar
USC football plays its next home game on Nov. 21. The Trojans are coming off a 30-18 win over Ohio State on Oct. 31, a game that ended with a heated postgame exchange, as CBS Sports reported. DJ John Summit headlines the stadium on Dec. 12, and the LA28 Summer Games are scheduled at the Coliseum from July 14 to 30, 2028.
Stadium concerts at the Coliseum take a lot of planning. The field is set up as standing room in front of the stage, while the bowl stays seated. Upper rows in the end zone are the most affordable and give a full view of the production. Seats on the sideline facing the stage sell first.
Getting there
The Metro E Line stops at Expo Park/USC, right next to the stadium, and it is the fastest way in and out on a big night. Parking in Exposition Park lots fills early. The neighborhood also has BMO Stadium, the Galen Center and the Natural History Museum within walking distance, so a concert or game can easily turn into a full day.
All confirmed events are on the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum ticket page.
