Bad Omens
Kia Forum — Inglewood, CA

Bad Omens formed in 2015 and built their following the hard way—through relentless touring and releasing music independently before signing to Sumerian Records. The LA metalcore band, fronted by Noah Sebastian, made noise with their self-titled debut and really solidified things with Finding God Before God Finds You, an album that hit harder both sonically and lyrically. They've become known for songs that balance crushing riffs with genuinely catchy melodies, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The band doesn't shy away from heavier material but they're not afraid of hooks either. They've consistently toured their ass off, building one of metalcore's more devoted fanbases in the process. Their live energy is reflective of the crowd they attract—intense but not toxic.

Bad Omens shows get loud and physical without feeling reckless. The pit stays relatively controlled but absolutely moving. Noah Sebastian commands the stage naturally, not trying too hard. The crowd sings along to everything. People are there for the band, not their phones.

Known for THE WORST IN ME, STOP THE TIME, ARTIFICIAL SUICIDE, RECKLESS, LIKE A MIRACLE

Bad Omens has built a solid presence in Los Angeles over the years. Their October 2024 stop at DTS Sound Space at KROQ showcased the band's tight setlist, hitting fans with "CONCRETE JUNGLE" and nine other tracks that proved why they've become a fixture on the LA rock circuit. The band continues to draw crowds whenever they roll through.

LA's metal and alternative scene has always had a softer edge than its East Coast counterparts, leaning toward melody and production value. That actually suits Bad Omens fine. The city's venues and audiences have warmed to bands that blur the line between heavy and accessible, and there's enough crossover appeal here—the emo-to-metal pipeline is real—that they should find genuine resonance.

Stay in Los Feliz, where you can walk tree-lined streets and catch views from Griffith Observatory. Dinner at Republique in the Arts District—refined French-inspired food in a restored factory space that feels more Paris than LA. Spend an afternoon at the Huntington Library in San Marino, a world-class art collection that justifies the drive. The city's recording studio history is everywhere; walk through Hollywood and you're literally surrounded by the spaces where hits were made. End the night at a jazz bar like The Fonda Theatre or catch live music on Sunset Boulevard.
