Wednesday, July 26, 8 p.m.
hi-dive, 7 South Broadway

Originally called Thee Commons, the east L.A. group Tropa Magica was founded by brothers David and Rene Pacheco, who created the band's unique sound by combining grunge, alternative and psych rock with cumbia music.

Big Wild is the brainchild of Jackson Stell, who comes from a musical family and got his start as a teenage hip-hop beat producer.

All Day I Dream

For those who would rather attend a more EDM-focused music fest this weekend, Sculpture Park (you know, the one with the giant dancing white statues) will see a full day of world-class house and techno DJs. The recurring event was started by globally recognized DJ Lee Burridge on a New York City rooftop in 2011, and has since become a worldwide phenomenon not to be missed.
