Modest Mouse at Hollywood Palladium, October 20

Modest Mouse bring their jittery, wide-open brand of alternative rock to the Hollywood Palladium on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. If you are sorting through concerts in Los Angeles this month, this one pairs a band with a deep catalog and one of the city's best-known rooms.

When: Tuesday, October 20, 2026, 7:00 PM listed start Where: Hollywood Palladium, 6215 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028 Tickets: Ticketmaster (price not listed in the sources)

The band

Modest Mouse formed in Washington state in the 1990s and became one of indie rock's most recognizable names. Ticketmaster files the show under Music, Rock, Alternative Rock. Expect a set that moves between the herky-jerky guitar songs and the sprawling, melodic ones, with plenty of room for the older favorites. The sources do not list an opening act or a setlist, so check the ticket page closer to the date for support announcements.

What to expect at the Palladium

The Palladium is a big, open ballroom-style hall with a wide floor and balcony areas, which suits a band whose live sound is loud and a little unruly. Doors usually open before the listed start, and the 7:00 PM time is the published start rather than a guaranteed stage time. Plan on an opener first and the headliner later in the evening. For anyone tracking live music in Los Angeles, a Tuesday night show on Sunset is an easy one to fit into the week.

Getting there

The venue sits on Sunset Boulevard near Gower Street, in the middle of the Hollywood strip. Parking in the area is a mix of paid lots and street spots with restrictions, so arrive early or use rideshare to skip the hunt. The Metro B Line stops at Hollywood/Vine, roughly a mile away, which works if you are happy to walk or catch a short ride the rest of the way.

Hollywood has plenty to fill the hours before doors. Dinner spots and bars along Sunset and Vine make this a natural night out, and if you want more things happening in Hollywood, the neighborhood page lists what else is on. Browse the Hollywood events or the full concerts category for more shows.

Before you go

Buy tickets only through the official Ticketmaster listing linked above, since resale sites often charge far more. Check the Palladium's own policies for bag size, re-entry and age limits before you head out. Dates and times can change, so confirm the listing on the day of the show.
