Melanie Martinez rolls into Inglewood on August 14 for HADES: THE SACRIFICE, hitting the Kia Forum stage at 8:00 PM PT. This is a full production show inside one of LA’s most iconic arenas, so once you’re through the doors, the outside world — weather included — stops mattering.
Getting There
The National Weather Service is calling for a mostly sunny day in Inglewood, with a high near 81°F, 0% chance of rain, and light wind of 0 to 10 mph out of the SSW. Translation: a smooth, dry commute to the venue. No rain gear needed for the walk from the parking lot, and the light breeze won’t be a factor either — just a pleasant summer evening for the trek in.
Since it’s an indoor arena show, the forecast is really only relevant for the window between parking and finding your seat. Once you’re inside the Forum, it’s climate-controlled and the weather is a non-issue for the rest of the night.
Gear Up for the Show
This is a Melanie Martinez crowd, and you know the fans go all out. Rep your fandom with a Melanie Martinez t-shirt before doors open, or grab a Melanie Martinez hoodie for something to throw on if the arena runs cool once the AC kicks in. A Melanie Martinez hat is another easy way to show up in character, and a Melanie Martinez poster makes for a solid souvenir to bring home from HADES.
If you’ve been to a few arena shows, you already know the Forum’s sound system runs loud. A pair of concert ear plugs high fidelity lets you take in every note of the set without the ringing ears the next morning — worth tossing in your bag before you leave the house.
Practical Tips
Arrive with enough buffer for parking and security lines — arena lots around the Forum fill up fast on show nights. Bring a light layer for indoors; venues like this tend to blast the AC once the crowd packs in, even on a warm 81°F evening outside. Check your ticket for the venue’s current bag policy before you leave, since arena security tends to be strict about what you can carry in.
With clear skies and calm wind on the way to the venue, the only thing standing between you and HADES: THE SACRIFICE is the walk from your car to the doors.
