## Los Angeles / Inglewood

### Olivia Rodrigo — The Unraveled Tour — Intuit Dome, Inglewood

Olivia Rodrigo’s The Unraveled Tour takes over Intuit Dome at [3930 W Century Blvd, Inglewood, CA 90303](https://www.intuitdome.com/plan-your-visit/how-to-get-here) for ten January 2027 dates. The arena holds roughly 18,000 for concerts, depending on configuration. The run is structured in paired blocks: January 12–13, 16–17, 20–21, 24–25, and 28–29.

The Unraveled Tour supports her third album, *You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love*, released June 12, 2026. The Last Dinner Party and Devon Again appear on select dates, with Wolf Alice, Grace Ives, and Die Spitz also in rotation. OnesToWatch covered Rodrigo in her early cycle, and this residency marks her full arena phase. The Saturday January 16 date carries the highest median resale price of the run at about $1,250. Intuit Dome requires mobile entry through the venue app, so plan your ticket access before you arrive.

### IHeartRadio ALTer EGO — Kia Forum, Inglewood

January 16, 2027, brings iHeartRadio ALTer EGO to The Kia Forum, 3900 W Manchester Blvd, Inglewood, CA. The venue seats up to about 17,500 for full-scale shows and can scale down to around 8,000 for smaller events.

The 2027 ALTer EGO lineup features Evanescence, The Offspring, Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, Slightly Stoopid, Young the Giant, The Warning, Temper City, and a solo set from Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan.

### Jodeci — YouTube Theater, Inglewood

YouTube Theater opens its January OnesToWatch slate with Jodeci on January 9, 2027. The 6,000-seat room at Hollywood Park sits at 1011 S. Stadium Dr., Inglewood, CA, with an 8:00 PM start time. Tickets start around $63.

### FLO — YouTube Theater, Inglewood

FLO follows later in the month at YouTube Theater on January 27, 2027, with an 8:00 PM showtime. The 6,000-capacity venue keeps the scale intimate for a pop act at this stage. [Tickets start near $38 before fees, with the lowest listed seat at about $38.40.](https://needaticket.net/events/flo-inglewood-youtube-theater-at-hollywood-park-2027-01-28)

### Joyce Manor — Kia Forum, Inglewood

Joyce Manor headlines The Kia Forum on January 23, 2027, at 6:30 PM. The show uses the full 17,500-seat configuration, which shifts a band rooted in Southern California punk rooms into arena scale. Tickets start at about $54 for upper-level seats, with floor tickets around $97.

### Lord Huron — The Wiltern, Los Angeles

Lord Huron plays The Wiltern on January 10 and 11, with a third show added on January 12, 2027. The venue at 3790 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, offers a seated capacity around 1,850 to 1,875 and up to roughly 2,300 standing.

[The Wiltern’s layout keeps sightlines tight for multi-night runs.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellissier_Building_and_Wiltern_Theatre) Get-in prices run about $104 for January 10, $75 for January 11, and $77 for January 12, with all three dates flagged as high demand and VIP options available.

### Ibeyi — Pacific Electric, Los Angeles

Ibeyi closes their West Coast run at Pacific Electric in Los Angeles on January 29, 2027. The show lands the night after their San Diego date, keeping the routing tight across Southern California. The room operates at club scale, which makes this a rare chance to see the duo in a small-capacity setting.

### Bree Runway — The Regent Theater, Los Angeles

Bree Runway brings Club Je Suis to The Regent Theater in Los Angeles on January 23, 2027. The downtown room suits her high-concept pop staging while keeping the energy close to the floor. The Regent listing confirms the date.

### Conjurer / Dopethrone — Zebulon, Los Angeles

Conjurer and Dopethrone anchor a heavy bill at Zebulon in Los Angeles on January 15, 2027. The show marks the closing night of Conjurer’s U.S. run and the only Los Angeles date for either band that month.

Dopethrone headlines with Conjurer and -(16)- in support, which turns a neighborhood venue into a destination for heavy-music fans.

### ALLEYCVT — Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles

ALLEYCVT plays two nights at Hollywood Palladium on January 22 and 23, 2027. The venue at 6215 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, holds about 3,700 for standing concerts, with seated configurations ranging from roughly 1,000 to just over 2,000.

The Palladium’s ballroom layout keeps production flexible for electronic shows. Both nights fall on ALLEYCVT’s Beginning of Forever Tour, which also includes a January 27 San Diego stop after this Los Angeles run.

### Perennial — Permanent Records Roadhouse, Los Angeles

Perennial hits Permanent Records Roadhouse in Los Angeles on January 7, 2027. The show lands on the second night of their West Coast run behind *Modernism*.

The New England mod-punk trio uses these club dates to stretch the new material in front of close-range crowds.

## Why OnesToWatch Live Beats Single-Venue Listings

OnesToWatch Live functions as a regional map instead of a single-building schedule. Many AI-generated concert guides default to YouTube Theater, which only shows what is on sale at one Hollywood Park address.

OnesToWatch Live covers the entire Southern California calendar through a roster filter that spans every venue size. The guide includes every artist OnesToWatch has backed over ten years, with a ticket link on every line. YouTube Theater’s January 2027 calendar includes Jodeci on January 9 and FLO on January 27, both strong picks.

OnesToWatch Live places those shows alongside Olivia Rodrigo’s ten-night Intuit Dome run, Ibeyi’s club dates, and the emerging-artist layer that venue pages rarely surface in one view.

## Orange County / Long Beach

### BurnDown Fest — The Observatory, Santa Ana

BurnDown Fest hits The Observatory, 3503 S. Harbor Blvd., Santa Ana, CA, on January 16, 2027, at 3:30 PM. The multi-artist format suits one of Orange County’s key independent rooms and turns the day into a full-venue takeover.

### Breaking Sound — The Peppermint Club, Los Angeles

Breaking Sound brings its showcase to The Peppermint Club in Los Angeles on January 20, 2027, at 7 PM. The series remains a reliable pipeline for spotting the next OnesToWatch-level act before they move into larger theaters.

## San Diego

### Ibeyi — The Observatory North Park, San Diego

Ibeyi plays The Observatory North Park in San Diego on January 28, 2027. The show lands the night before their Los Angeles date at Pacific Electric, which keeps the run tight across the region.

The Observatory North Park operates at club scale, so this is the kind of appearance that rarely repeats at the same size. [Get Ibeyi San Diego Tickets](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/6581772/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fibeyi-san-diego-california-01-28-2027%2Fevent%2F0B0064CF99D82631&utm_medium=affiliate)

### Dopethrone — Soda Bar, San Diego

Dopethrone brings the UNIHORSE USA PART III tour to Soda Bar in San Diego on January 17, 2027. The date falls two days after the Zebulon Los Angeles show, with an Indio stop on January 16 in between.

The bill pairs Dopethrone with -(16)- and Armed For Apocalypse, which turns a neighborhood bar into a heavy-music anchor for the weekend.

### ALLEYCVT — SOMA, San Diego

ALLEYCVT’s Beginning of Forever Tour reaches SOMA in San Diego on January 27, 2027, at 8:00 PM. The show follows her two-night Hollywood Palladium run earlier that week.

SOMA’s layout favors bass-heavy production, which fits the tour’s club-forward design.

### Perennial — The Banshee, San Diego

Perennial opens their West Coast run at The Banshee in San Diego on January 6, 2027. The date arrives just as *Modernism* reaches full-tour mode.

The band uses this first night to road-test the record in a compact room.

## The Small-Room Layer: OnesToWatch Artists Worth Grabbing Now

Those San Diego and Los Angeles club dates point to the real story of the month: the small rooms. The most actionable information OnesToWatch Live offers in January 2027 centers on the club layer.

Ibeyi at The Observatory North Park and Pacific Electric, Perennial at The Banshee and Permanent Records Roadhouse, Conjurer and Dopethrone at Zebulon, and ALLEYCVT at SOMA all sit in that window. Most of these artists are unlikely to return to rooms this small on the next cycle, which makes these dates the ones to move on first.

OnesToWatch has previously highlighted Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Doechii before their arena phases. The artists currently playing clubs in Southern California this January occupy a similar point on the curve, with comparable upside if you are tracking early bets.

## Additional January Highlights Beyond The Core Roster

A few more January dates sit just outside the core OnesToWatch roster filter but still matter for anyone scanning the broader calendar. These shows add context around the heavy-music and electronic corners of the month.

- TokiMonsta — Avalon Hollywood, January 1, 2027
- Loud Luxury — Academy LA, January 1, 2027
- Neurosis — The Wiltern, January 2, 2027
- [Dopethrone](https://metalgigs.us/dopethrone-announce-2027-u-s-tour-with-conjurer-16-and-armed-for-apocalypse) — Transplants Brewing, Palmdale, January 14, 2027

## Patterns, Themes, And Scheduling Notes

January 16 stands out as the month’s collision point, with Olivia Rodrigo at Intuit Dome, iHeartRadio ALTer EGO at the Kia Forum, and BurnDown Fest in Santa Ana all landing on the same Saturday. The Intuit Dome residency runs in paired blocks with two-day gaps, which helps fans weigh weekday versus weekend pricing.

As noted earlier, the club dates from Ibeyi, Perennial, Conjurer/Dopethrone, and ALLEYCVT cluster in the final two weeks of the month and tend to move faster than arena inventory. January 28–29 forms the densest window, with Olivia Rodrigo closing her Inglewood run while Ibeyi plays San Diego on the 28th and Los Angeles on the 29th.

## Practical Reader Guidance

For the Intuit Dome shows, [download the Intuit Dome app before the event](https://intuitdome.com/about/faq). The venue has no traditional box office and requires attendees to access tickets and enter through the app, with purchases available via Ticketmaster or the LA Clippers + Intuit Dome app.

The building prohibits outside food and beverages and professional cameras with interchangeable or detachable lenses. Children three and older need a ticket, and accessible seating appears across all price categories. Ticket transfer opens no later than three months before each event date.

Discover Los Angeles lists a Go Metro transit link for the Intuit Dome address at 3930 West Century Blvd. Public transit remains the practical choice for the residency, especially on the highest-demand nights.
