Role Model with Samia, Second Night at the Greek

Role Model and Samia are back at the Greek Theatre on October 16, the second night of a Los Angeles run that also plays October 15. If the first date got away from you, this is the one to grab, and it is a strong entry among the concerts in Los Angeles this fall. Role Model is the project of singer-songwriter Tucker Pillsbury, whose pop songs are plainspoken, a little wry and built on hooks that stay with you after the lights come up.

What to expect

Samia is an indie songwriter known for confessional, lyric-driven songs, so the evening leans toward words and melody rather than spectacle. That suits the Greek well. The terraced seating and open-air setting keep a big room feeling close, and a crowd that knows the lyrics tends to sing them back.

Role Model's sets mix dance-leaning moments with quieter, guitar-led songs, and an amphitheater under the trees is a fitting place for that range. It is the kind of live music Los Angeles does best once the evenings cool off and an outdoor stage stops feeling like a summer sweat lodge.

A second night also usually means a slightly looser crowd and a little more room to move than opening night. Nothing is promised there, but it is a reasonable bet for anyone who prefers a calmer entrance line.

When and where

When: October 16, 2026 (confirm doors and set times on the ticket page) Where: The Greek Theatre, 2700 N Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027 Tickets: Through Ticketmaster; the listing did not publish a price we could verify

Getting there

The Greek sits inside Griffith Park, a short drive from Los Feliz and Silver Lake, so dinner in either neighborhood pairs easily with the show. Driving is straightforward but busy on show nights, so leave extra time for parking and the walk up to the gates. Rideshare drop-off keeps things simple and spares you the post-show traffic jam.

Bring a layer. Canyon evenings run cooler than the flats, and the amphitheater chills quickly once the sun drops. Plan to arrive early enough to catch Samia's set, since a good opener is half the reason to be on time. For anyone sorting through things to do in Los Angeles this week, a night under the trees with two songwriters worth hearing is a solid answer.
