BERTHA: Grateful Drag at The Bellwether

BERTHA: Grateful Drag is booked into The Bellwether on Thursday, November 19, 2026, with the show starting at 8 p.m. The name tells you where the night is headed. "Bertha" is one of the Grateful Dead's most-loved songs, and the "Grateful Drag" half of the billing promises a playful spin on that catalog. If you're building a list of concerts in Los Angeles for late November, this is the offbeat pick.

What to expect

Ticketmaster files the show under Music and Rock. The listing doesn't publish a set list, openers or a full lineup, so don't count on anything beyond the headline act. What the name does suggest is a room full of people who know the words. Jam-band crowds tend to sing along and stay for the whole set, which makes for a friendly night out even if you're new to the music.

Before you go, the venue points ticket buyers to thebellwetherla.com for everything to know before the show. That's the place to check door times, bag rules and age limits.

The Bellwether

The Bellwether sits at 333 S Boylston St in downtown Los Angeles, a mid-sized room that books a steady run of indie, rock and pop touring acts. It's the kind of place where live music in Los Angeles feels close up rather than arena-sized. The listing also mentions an upgrade called the Looking Glass Lounge. It adds stage-adjacent standing room on the balcony level of the Main Room, plus lounge access starting 30 minutes before the show and lasting throughout it. It's offered at checkout, so decide before you pay.

Tickets and getting there

Tickets go through Ticketmaster. A price wasn't published in the listing we reviewed, so check the page for current tiers and fees. Downtown parking fills up on show nights, and a rideshare or Metro trip into the area saves the hunt for a garage.

If you're filling out a month of things to do in Los Angeles, a Thursday night with a Dead-inspired twist is an easy one to add. Browse more shows on our concerts page, or see what else is on in downtown LA.
