WEST HOLLYWOOD — Sheryl Crow headlines a free outdoor concert on the Sunset Strip tonight. Live On Sunset, a new event put on by the City of West Hollywood, turns the stretch of Sunset Boulevard between San Vicente Boulevard and Doheny Drive into a festival site. Gates open at 4 p.m. and music runs until 11 p.m., according to the city. The show goes on rain or shine, but rain shouldn't be a problem. The National Weather Service calls for mostly clear skies tonight, with a low around 57.

If you don't already have a ticket, you won't get in. The city says the event has reached capacity and the waitlist is closed, so no more tickets will be issued. Only ticketed guests can enter, and registration was limited to one ticket per person.

The Lineup and Set Times

Crow shares the bill with the L.A. indie-rock band Local Natives, singer-songwriter Empress Of, guitarist Grace Bowers, singer Doug Locke and DJ Mia Moretti. WEHOonline published the schedule:

4 p.m. — Mia Moretti (DJ set)
5 p.m. — Doug Locke
6:10 p.m. — Grace Bowers
7:05 p.m. — Empress Of
8:20 p.m. — Local Natives
9:50 p.m. — Sheryl Crow

Food and drink vendors include Dialog Cafe, Fan Girl Cafe, Pizza Girl, Prince Street Pizza and Bug & Bear's Cannoli. Bohemian Kitten Vintage and Out Of Date Records will also have booths, the site reported.

A Homecoming for Crow

Crow is a nine-time Grammy winner and a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. She played some of her earliest shows on this part of Sunset, at clubs like the Roxy and the Viper Room, MyNewsLA reported. "The intimate venues in West Hollywood will always hold a special place in my heart because they're where I figured out who I was as an artist," she said. In October she told the Los Angeles Times it "feels right to bring these new songs to the same place where the old ones found their first audience." Her 12th album, "Pick You Up," came out Oct. 9.

West Hollywood Mayor John Heilman told the Times that "music has always been part of its heartbeat," speaking of the Strip, and that the city wants to "make sure live music remains an essential part of its future."

Trying Again on the Strip

Live On Sunset isn't the city's first festival on the Strip. The ticketed Sunset Strip Music Festival used the Whisky a Go Go, the Roxy and the Viper Room as its main stages and ran from 2008 to 2014. WEHOonline reported that the festival ran out of money as attendance fell, and that the 2014 edition alone lost $1.045 million. This time the city hired JJLA, the agency behind the OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride, to produce the show.

The new event comes as the Strip changes. The Viper Room is closing and moving, and its site is set to become part of an 11-story mixed-use project, the Times noted. The Roxy and the Whisky aren't part of Live On Sunset, but both have their own shows booked tonight.

Street Closures and Getting There

Drivers should steer clear of the area whether or not they're going to the show. According to the event's information page, Sunset is closed between San Vicente Boulevard/Clark Avenue and Doheny Drive from noon Friday until noon Sunday. Side streets one block north and south of that stretch are closed too. From noon today until 1 a.m. Sunday, the closure also covers Sunset east to Larrabee Street, plus San Vicente between Harratt Street and Sunset. Emergency vehicles can still get through, but rideshare cars can't enter the closed area.

The city is running a free shuttle from 4 p.m. to midnight. It picks up at 625 N. San Vicente Blvd., at the West Hollywood Library and City Council Chambers, and drops riders off at Sunset and San Vicente. Organizers suggest parking at the Pacific Design Center or the five-story garage at West Hollywood Park, where parking fees may apply. Riders still need a ticket to get in. There's no event parking at Sunset Plaza. Bike parking is at the city lot at 8775 Sunset Blvd., and bikes and scooters aren't allowed inside.

The entrance is at San Vicente and Clark, near the Whisky, and every bag will be searched. Umbrellas, chairs, coolers, outside food and drinks, and bags larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches aren't allowed. Clear bags of that size or smaller are fine. If you live, work or are staying at a hotel inside the closure, use the local access lanes at the San Vicente and Doheny entrances. You can skip the ticket scan there, but you'll still go through security. Re-entry isn't guaranteed.
