L.A. concerts for Friday:

Beach House does the first of two sold-out nights on the Fairbanks Lawn at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in support of their new album “7.”
► With the arrival of his new album “Drogas WAVE” seemingly imminent, Lupe Fiasco plays the Regent Theater, joined by Kota the Friend and Uni-G.
Charlie Wilson and the O’Jays do the first of two nights at the Hollywood Bowl.
Vacationer headline the Teragram Ballroom in support of their new album “Mindset.” Get there early for Sego.
Qui celebrate the release of their new album “Snuh” with a show at the Echo, with Retox and Ether Feather supporting.
► With their new album “Flowers in the Spring” landing on Sept. 7, the Molochs headline the Hi Hat, joined by Janelane, Post Life and Gold Cage.
Roger Joseph Manning Jr. heads up a formidable lineup at tonight’s edition of the 21st annual International Pop Overthrow. The power-pop festival’s stacked lineup at Molly Malone’s incudes Chris Price, Fernando Perdomo, Linus of Hollywood and Danny Wilkerson, among others.
► And Bardo Martinez (of Chicano Batman) says it’s “Summer.” Probably a good season to see him tonight at the Lodge Room.
