Great things for the middle day of your holiday weekend:

‣ It’s “Jam Day” at the UCLA Jazz Reggae Festival with Santigold [pictured], Common, the Grouch & Eligh, Jhene Aiko, Ryan McDermoot, the UCLA Gluck Jazz Ensemble (directed by Kenny Burrell) and the Street Hearts. It goes off starting at noon at UCLA Intramural Field.
‣ Dance music leading man Paul Oakenfold does it up big at Avalon Hollywood.
‣ 1970s punk torchbearers the Damned roar into the El Rey Theatre, with 45 Grave opening.
‣ And there’s a sweet local indie-pop bill at the Echo, with Haunted Summer, White Dove, Draemings and Simone White.
