When you think about outdoor concerts, you probably think about summer. However, one of the great things about living in Southern California is that summer concerts don't have to end when summer does. In fact, Southern California could host outdoor concerts well into November with the way the weather has been in recent years. If you want to catch a great open-air show this fall, try one of these options.

Luke Bryan
Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre

Irvine, CA 92618

Some people point to Luke Bryan as more of a pop country act as opposed to real country. No matter whether you agree with that opinion or not, Luke Bryan is extremely talented, sells a lot of albums and packs concert venues. If you listen to Bryan for any length of time, you'll see why he has such a following. He sings about having a good time. Frankly, that's a pretty good goal at any time, but particularly before the temperatures dip a bit and you can't enjoy concerts for a number of months.
