Summer evenings at the Getty Center will be filled with musical performances for five upcoming Saturdays as Off the 405 returns with free concerts. This year’s acts include SML on May 31, Mabe Fratti on June 14, Madi Diaz on July 12, Empress Of on July 26, and Emile Mosseri on August 23.
Concerts will begin with a live DJ set at 6 pm before the main performance. Ticket reservations are required and will be released three weeks before each concert on Getty’s website, with release dates available online.
“Off the 405 has become a beloved summer ritual for Angelenos—a space where adventurous music and iconic architecture converge,” says Sarah Cooper, performance programs specialist at the Getty. “This year’s artists embody the urgency and experimentation of today’s most vital music scenes. Spanning experimental collectives, genre-defying vocalists, and cinematic composers, they’re pushing boundaries and deepening what live music can be. We’re proud to present a lineup that resonates with both casual listeners and the music communities that make Los Angeles such a vital cultural city.”
Past Off the 405 performers in the series include noteworthy artists like Bartees Strange, Cate Le Bon, Helado Negro, Alabaster De Plume, and Moses Sumney.
Visitors are encouraged to arrive early to explore the site and enjoy the current art exhibitions. Guests are welcome to bring a picnic or purchase food and beverages in the Museum Courtyard. No outside alcohol is allowed. Parking at the Getty Center is $25, or $15 after 3 pm and $10 after 6 pm. The museum will have new extended hours beginning on June 17, 2025, and will be open late on Saturdays until 9 pm with free parking after 6 pm.
