“Off the 405” Summer Concerts Return to the Getty Center Beginning May 2026

SoCal music and art lovers can save the dates for this year’s “Off the 405” artist lineup. The free outdoor concerts at the Getty Center museum include aja monet on May 30, Hunx and His Punx on June 13, Leenalchi on July 11, Horse Lords on July 25, and Laurel Halo on August 22.

Online reservations will be available about three weeks before each concert on Getty’s website, with the ticket release dates available now on the calendar. On the day of each concert, attendees can catch a DJ in the courtyard at 6 p.m., pack a picnic or enjoy Getty drinks and snacks, and explore the art galleries and current exhibitions before the main artist begins at 7:30 p.m.

“This year’s lineup highlights artists pushing at the edges of their forms—whether through poetry, reimagined cultural traditions, subversive camp, or structurally and sonically complex compositions,” said Sarah Cooper, performance programs specialist at Getty. “Together, they reflect Los Angeles as a city shaped by multiple diasporas and creative lineages, where experimental approaches to sound sit alongside bold reinterpretations of popular genres.”

Saturdays at the Getty Center include late-night hours, with the site open until 9 p.m. and free parking after 6 p.m. To help keep parking smooth for all guests, we encourage visitors to carpool when possible. Guests should bring a warm jacket or a blanket for the outdoor concerts. In addition to food and drink in the Museum Courtyard, Trellis Bar & Lounge will be open with specialty food and art-themed cocktails. Please note that bringing outside alcohol to the museum is not permitted.

“Off the 405” Lineup

Saturday, May 30 — aja monet

Brooklyn-born and Los Angeles-based, aja monet is a celebrated surrealist blues poet, vocalist, composer and a storyteller whose work dissolves the boundary between language and sound, transforming poetry into a fully realized musical experience. Returning with her first new music in three years, and arriving days after her Carnegie Hall debut, monet opens the 2026 “Off the 405” season with a performance grounded in musicianship and language for an evening that foregrounds voice, ensemble and the expansive possibilities of poetry in concert.

Saturday, June 13 — Hunx and His Punx

Hunx and His Punx are ecstatic campy fun, laced with a bite. The trio—Seth Bogart, Shannon Shaw (of Shannon & The Clams), and Erin Emslie—helped define a strain of early-2000s queer garage punk that's as indebted to analog retro-trash aesthetics and girl-group harmonies as to riot grrrl and DIY noise. Their command of dark humor does the best any of us can in a weird, wild, heavy world—only with sharper hooks and better eyeliner. After more than a decade-long hiatus, Hunx and His Punx released the album “Walked Out on the World and Lived to Tell the Tale,” a jubilant celebration of chaotic glam and tender depravity.

Saturday, July 11 — LEENALCHI

LEENALCHI is a seven-piece band from Seoul drawing on pansori, Korea’s centuries-old tradition of musical folk storytelling, and channeling it through bass-driven grooves that might just as easily recall the Talking Heads. Their lineup is as singular as their sound: three singers, two bassists, drums, and keys—notably, no guitar. After winning multiple Korean Music Awards, LEENALCHI now take a major step onto the world stage with a new record forthcoming on Luaka Bop, the influential label founded by David Byrne known for championing eclectic, boundary-crossing music.

Saturday, July 25 — Horse Lords

Horse Lords are a Baltimore-born quartet whose music sits at the intersection of experimental minimalism, post-punk, and tightly wound rhythmic systems. Built from interlocking patterns, shifting meters, microtonal and just intonation, their sound advances with a structural clarity that feels architectural. The band has developed a distinctive approach in which guitars, saxophone, bass, and percussion operate less as solo voices than as parts of a larger rhythmic engine. Repetition becomes propulsion, as tightly calibrated patterns gradually shift and realign.

Saturday, Aug. 22 — Laurel Halo

Laurel Halo is a Detroit-born electronic composer, producer, and musician now based in Los Angeles. Her work draws from techno, ambient music, and musique concrète, often incorporating piano, synthesis, and field recordings into layered, exploratory structures. Across albums, DJ sets, and commissioned works, Halo has become known for treating electronic music less as genre than as a flexible compositional system. The music shifts easily between pulse and atmosphere while maintaining a distinct sense of structure and restraint.
