Todd Rundgren Live at The Wiltern in Koreatown

Todd Rundgren has spent more than fifty years refusing to stay in one lane, and on Monday, November 2, he brings that restless catalog to The Wiltern. For anyone building a list of concerts in Los Angeles this fall, a weeknight with one of rock's great shape-shifters is an easy pick.

When: Monday, November 2, 2026, 7:00 PM Where: The Wiltern, 3790 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90010 Tickets: Through Ticketmaster. Check the listing for current pricing.

Who he is

Rundgren is a singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer from Pennsylvania who first broke through in the early 1970s. "Hello It's Me," "I Saw the Light" and "Bang the Drum All Day" are the songs most people know, and the sweet, piano-driven pop of Something/Anything? is where many fans start. But he also made the sprawling, synthesizer-heavy A Wizard, a True Star, led the prog-leaning band Utopia, and produced records for other acts along the way. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.

That range is the reason his shows are worth seeing in person. A setlist can swing from a tender ballad to a wild studio experiment without apologizing for either. Fans tend to come with their own favorites in mind, and the deep cuts get as loud a reception as the hits.

What to expect

Nothing in the listing spells out the exact set or any opening act, so treat the details as open until the night. What you can count on is a veteran musician who plays with the kind of ease that comes from decades on stage, in a room built for it. If you like your live music los angeles style, with real musicianship and a crowd that knows every word, this fits.

The venue

The Wiltern is an Art Deco landmark at Wilshire and Western in Koreatown, with a green terra-cotta facade and a main floor that opens up for standing or seating depending on the show. It is one of the better-sounding mid-size theaters in the city, which suits a catalog this layered.

Getting there

Wilshire/Western is a Metro D Line stop, so you can skip the parking hunt and ride in. If you drive, expect paid lots and metered street spots nearby, and give yourself extra time on a Monday evening when Wilshire traffic runs heavy. Koreatown has plenty of options for dinner before the show, from barbecue to late-night soup, so plan to eat nearby. The listing shows a 7:00 PM start, but confirm doors and any age policy on the ticket page before you go.
