The Intuit Dome, Inglewood’s newest $2 billion sports venue, will be home to the Los Angeles Clippers but the doors swung wide Thursday night for an official opening that hosted two music superstars.
Headliner Bruno Mars helped christen the stage by drawing a capacity crowd for the first night of back-to-back shows backed by his band, the Hooligans. The electric two-hour concert closed with two encores, the first of which delivered a slam dunk courtesy of Lady Gaga who shocked the crowd by hitting the stage close to 11:30 p.m. for a world premiere performance of their new duet, “Die With a Smile,” which dropped at 9 p.m. Pt after being announced Thursday morning.
“How you feeling, L.A.?” asked Gaga as she was seated behind a keyboard with an oversize blonde wig, white tights, and a shiny, pink-and-white minidress. As the crowd went wild, Mars took the mic with an introduction: “Ladies and gentlemen,...

More than 100 noise complaints from last weekend’s Hard Summer festival outside SoFi Stadium in Inglewood has resulted in a ban on future music events at the venue’s elevated American Airlines Plaza.
Inglewood Mayor James Butts said in a statement that the elevated stage in the plaza was determined to be a “major contributor to the issue” of noise complaints.
“Consequently, no stages will be permitted in this area for future events,” Butts said in his statement.
The Hard Summer festival featured four outdoor music stages positioned outside SoFi Stadium in the surrounding parking lots.
Butts said the city was “perplexed” by the complaints, given the number of previous outdoor concerts held at the plaza without incident. City officials worked with festival organizers between Saturday and Sunday to alleviate the problem, which primarily focused on certain “bass frequencies.”
“Moving forward, and with the lessons learned the past weekend, we...

A man in his early 20s drowned Friday night in the lake outside SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, authorities said.
The incident is the second in two years where someone drowned in the body of water. In July of 2022, an unidentified man died after wading into the lake on a Wednesday.
The six-acre artificial lake holds about 11 million gallons of water and features a 12-foot-tall waterfall that cascades into two 4-foot waterfalls. It is about 15-feet deep.
In the latest incident, a man was seen entering the lake around 9:30 p.m. Friday and did not resurface, Inglewood Police Lt. Cilia Islas said.
A dive team responded and the body was found shortly before 11 p.m., Islas said. CPR was administered, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, she said.
Islas said it is believed to be an accidental drowning and the identity of the victim has not been released.
