LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 9, 2026. Slash grew up in Los Angeles, and Guns N' Roses came together a few miles away in Hollywood. Next spring he brings his longest-running side band home to The Wiltern, where Slash, Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators are booked for Monday, April 26 and Tuesday, April 27, 2027, both at 7:00 PM.
The Wiltern is a mid-sized room by the standards of a guitarist who also fills stadiums with Guns N' Roses. That is part of the appeal. A theater of this size puts fans close enough to watch his hands, and the room's acoustics give a two-guitar hard rock band space without turning it into a wall of noise.
The band behind the top hat
Slash first became famous as lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses, whose 1987 debut "Appetite for Destruction" gave the world the opening riff of "Sweet Child o' Mine." He later formed Slash's Snakepit and then Velvet Revolver, and he returned to Guns N' Roses for the reunion tours that began in 2016. Through all of it, his sound has stayed recognizable: a warm, singing Les Paul tone and a melodic sense that keeps his solos hummable.
Myles Kennedy is the singer of Alter Bridge, and he first sang on Slash's 2010 solo album. The partnership became a full band with The Conspirators, featuring bassist Todd Kerns, drummer Brent Fitz and rhythm guitarist Frank Sidoris. Together they have released "Apocalyptic Love" (2012), "World on Fire" (2014), "Living the Dream" (2018) and "4" (2022). Kennedy's wide vocal range lets the band play Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver songs alongside its own material, and setlists on past tours have mixed all three.
Kennedy has also built a solo career away from both bands, with the albums "Year of the Tiger" (2018) and "The Ides of March" (2021). His voice is the reason this project works as a band rather than a guitarist's showcase with a hired singer. He can handle the high, sustained lines of the Guns N' Roses material and then pull back for the bluesier passages, and the two front men have worked together for well over a decade.
Both Los Angeles dates, with seating and floor options, are listed on the Slash, Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators at The Wiltern page.
What the show sounds like
This is a guitar band first. Songs from the Conspirators records, such as "Anastasia" and "World on Fire," are built on fast riffs and extended solos, and in concert those solos tend to stretch. On past tours Kerns has stepped up to sing lead on a song, which gives Kennedy a break and changes the color of the set. Expect long nights by theater standards and volume to match; earplugs are a sensible thing to bring.
Hometown shows also tend to draw musicians, industry guests and longtime fans in addition to the general audience, and a two-night stand gives each night its own crowd. Monday and Tuesday dates usually mean lighter traffic on Wilshire than a weekend would. With a 7:00 PM start, fans who want a good spot on the floor should plan to arrive early, as the venue guide recommends.
Inside a 1931 landmark
The Wiltern opened in 1931 as a Warner Bros. movie theater inside the Pellissier Building, and its blue-green terra cotta exterior is one of the best-known examples of Art Deco architecture in Los Angeles. The auditorium keeps its sunburst ceiling and period detailing. Today it works as a concert hall with a general admission floor and seating above.
Recent Google reviewers describe it as an old-school theater where the stage is visible from most angles, and one called it a favorite room in Southern California for sound. For a guitar-driven band, the sightlines matter: fans in the upper seats see the whole stage and every solo spot, while the floor puts the crowd within reach of the front of the stage.
Parking, Metro and late-night food
The venue is at 3790 Wilshire Boulevard at Western Avenue in Koreatown. Parking options include:
- The Ralphs parking structure next to the venue, entered from Oxford Street through the north entrance only.
- Wiltern underground parking, available for select shows.
- The nearby Aroma parking lot.
The simplest route for many fans is Metro. The Wilshire/Western station sits directly across the street, so a train ride ends a few steps from the doors. Rideshare drop-off is also available at the entrance. Koreatown is one of the city's best late-night food neighborhoods, with Korean barbecue and other restaurants open well past the end of a rock show.
The week around the shows is full. Japanese rock band Mass of the Fermenting Dregs plays the room on April 28, and The Interrupters headline on April 30. The site OnesToWatch has also posted its picks from The Wiltern's 2026 to 2027 schedule for fans planning more than one night.
