We're both excited and sad to see Nine Inch Nails announce an L.A. "The Cold and Black and Infinite Tour" date, while at the same time canceling in one fell swoop. According to their Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts, Nine Inch Nails has revealed that they will no longer be performing in the Los Angeles edition of Primavera Sound in 2020. The band even released 2020 tour merch to commemorate the tour that never was, with proceeds going to local food banks. The inaugural edition of Primavera Sound L.A. is currently scheduled to take place at Los Angeles State Historic Park from Saturday, September 19, to Sunday, September 20. No news on whether anyone else in this year's festival lineup will no be performing either or if the festival is canceled at press time.

Hollywood Bowl 2020 Concert Season Canceled

We have sad news to share regarding one of our favorite concert traditions here in Los Angeles. The L.A. Phil has announced that the Hollywood Bowl will be canceling this season's schedule of shows scheduled for their 99th summer season for the first time in 98 years. The Los Angeles Philharmonic had a variety of great shows coming to the Hollywood Bowl which included performances by John Fogerty, Herbie Hancock, Debbie Harry, Hiatus Kaiyote, Brittany Howard, Iron & Wine, Lake Street Dive, Maxwell, Janelle Monae, Parcels, Polo & Pan, Poolside, Diana Ross, Jill Scott, Thundercat, Charlie Wilson, and many more. The 2020/2021 season of concerts at Walt Disney Concert Hall is currently the Los Angeles Philharmonic's shows that are still scheduled to take place on their concert calendar.

Bright Eyes Cancel Their Los Angeles Tour Dates

We have some bad news for Bright Eyes in and around Los Angeles. Those hoping to see their upcoming reunion tour in support of Down in the Weeds Where the World Once Was will probably have to wait until next year to possibly see Conor Oberst and the gang after they announced that they canceled their three shows at the Hollywood Palladium and their show farther north of Los Angeles at the Santa Barbara Bowl next month.

New Music Video: Run The Jewels "Ooh LA LA"

Run the Jewels has released a new music video for "Ooh LA LA," a track from their upcoming release RTJ4. The video, directed by Brian & Vanessa Beletic, features Killer Mike and El-P waking up on a day that there is no monetary system. Zach De La Rocha of Rage Against the Machine also makes a cameo in their new music video.

"LA Originals" Documentary Premieres on Netflix

"The culture has to be louder than the hate" was one of our favorite quotes from the just-released "LA Originals" documentary on Netflix. The Netflix original documentary tells the story of Los Angeles natives Estevan Oriol and Mister Cartoon as they use their talents to influence the culture and the music scene. The documentary includes interviews with Blink-182, Cypress Hill, Eminem, Kobe Bryant, Snoop Dogg, and more as they tell of their experiences with the pair that used Chicano culture, tattoos, music videos, photography, and cholo iconography to blend the genres by influencing the world with their works of art.
