Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory at The Wiltern

To say that there's some hype around this Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory project would be an understatement. They got a featured article in Rolling Stones, which walks readers through Sharon Van Etten's decision to go all-in on this concept. The two songs from their debut album, which are currently out at the time of writing, have received a decent reception from fans on streaming platforms. To listen to the full album and be ready to sing along at the Wiltern on May 21st, you'll have to wait until the first week of February. Still, the buzz is real, and Sharon Van Etten is really leaning into it!

Picking The Wiltern as one of the first venues that will get a chance to see this concept live is certainly an obvious choice. Sharon actually lives in the LA area these days, so it's a bit of a homecoming. Since Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory will only have ten official songs to their name at this point, it wouldn't be odd to see Sharon pull tracks from her solo career. It's going to be an interesting night regardless! How many times do you get a chance to see the birth of a new musical concept with performers who have been doing their thing for a while? The answer is not many, and this element of surprise, if you will, is likely going to keep you on your feet for the entire night. There is, of course, another reason why you'll likely be on your feet!

The seating at The Wiltern Theater is mostly going to be removed for this event. You can take your pick between being in the main pit area next to the stage or a general admission section right behind it. This setup at The Wiltern is very typical of rock shows. You know ahead of time that if you get tickets to the general admission area, you need to get here early! In fact, most sections will feature a first come, first served arrangement, so keep that in mind.
