Sonicboombox Anime XP Afterparty 2026 — Anime Expo Weekend
Anime Expo weekend doesn't end when the convention floor closes. Sonicboombox throws the biggest AX afterparty of the year on July 4 at Catch One — and you don't need an Anime Expo badge to get in.
Five rooms. Two floors. A massive outdoor patio. DJs spinning anime-adjacent music across hip-hop, trap, pop, EDM, and emo — Anime Nightclub 3, DJ Taylor Senpai, and a full lineup that treats anime soundtracks like the bangers they are. There's also a game room with Beyblades, a photobooth with printed photos, and the kind of crowd that has the right opinion about the Chainsaw Man opening.
Presented by Girltaku, Newtown HQ, and Kaiju Jukebox — organizers who have run Anime Expo adjacent events for years and know exactly what this crowd wants on a Saturday night in July.
Catch One is one of the best venues in Los Angeles: legendary sound system, multiple rooms, and enough space that it never feels like a sweaty anime convention overflow. It's more like the after-party that's actually better than the main event.
July 4 also happens to be Independence Day. The Anime Expo crowd treats this as its own national holiday — cosplay optional, enthusiasm mandatory. Doors open at 8:30 PM and the night runs until 2 AM. 21+ only. Rideshare recommended.
Located on West Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles. This is the Anime Expo afterparty the community has been running to for years. If you're in LA for AX weekend, this is the Saturday night plan.
