Tickets for the Los Angeles gig go on sale January 16th at noon; and you can check out a full list of theaters that will be showing Sound City on January 31st for one night only, or during its entire run starting February 1st. 

Sound City marks Grohl's directorial debut, and the film tells the story of the famed Van Nuys, California, studio where artists like Nirvana, Tom Petty and Metallica recorded classic albums.
