Morten

Oct 31 – Nov 1, 2026 Academy LA, 6021 Hollywood Blvd, L…

Somebody has to make the enormous records. Not every night wants a challenging one, and there is an honest craft in building something designed to work on twenty thousand people at once. Morten is the Danish producer who spent years developing what he and David Guetta named future rave — a harder, darker take on big-room built for main stages, and a sound that got copied fast enough that its origin is already getting forgotten. Hearing it in a Hollywood club of a few hundred rather than a festival field is a genuinely different experience: the production is designed for distance, so up close it hits considerably harder than intended. Halloween night proper, on the boulevard, and the room will be entirely in costume. Ten at night on Saturday the thirty-first.

Copa Del Rave — World Cup Final Watch Party at Academy LA

Jul 19, 2026 Academy LA, 6021 Hollywood Blvd, L…

Somebody decided the World Cup Final should not be watched in a sports bar. Or on a couch. They built a room where the music is scored to the match, where the drop hits when the goal does, and where the crews curating each night — Afrobeats To The World, Gasolina, Reggaeton Rave, Haitian Spotlight — have spent the entire tournament running toward this single night. July 19 at Academy LA is Copa Del Rave's last match. The Wednesday night DJ residencies since the group stage have all been rehearsals for this room. The first half hour after the final whistle, regardless of who lifts the trophy, is the moment people who came to these parties will remember for the rest of their lives. The crowd is the rare one where soccer culture and electronic music are not pretending to coexist. The 2026 Final happens on US soil for the first time since 1994. Most of LA will watch it on a screen with the sound off. The room at Academy LA will be the one place in the city where the sound is the whole point. Academy LA, 6021 Hollywood Blvd. Doors at 9 PM. 21+. Tickets at academy.la. This is the kind of night that defines what World Cup summer felt like in Los Angeles in 2026.

Copa Del Rave: World Cup 2026 Watch Parties — Academy LA

Jul 4 – Jul 5, 2026 Academy LA, 6021 Hollywood Blvd, L…

Los Angeles has an unexpected World Cup tradition: part soccer watch party, part EDM rave, part cultural celebration. Copa Del Rave turns FIFA match days into full-scale events at Academy LA. The 2026 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinals (July 4-5) bring Copa Del Rave to its peak intensity. Match nights pair live DJ sets from world-class talent — including Claude VonStroke, Ardalan, DJ Minx, and curator crews representing Afrobeats, Reggaeton, Haitian, and Brazilian musical communities — with live soccer on the big screen, multi-room sound, and the kind of crowd energy that only happens when your country is playing. What makes Copa Del Rave different from a normal sports bar: the music is not background. The DJs set the emotional tempo of the match. When your team scores, the drop hits. The diaspora crews — Afrobeats To The World, Gasolina, Reggaeton Rave, Haitian Spotlight — turn each match into a cultural homecoming. Fans who have never been to a rave and ravers who have never watched soccer both belong here. QF Watch Parties run July 4-5 at Academy LA (Hollywood). Tickets available at Academy LA and copadelrave.com. 21+. Doors open at 9pm.

Pokémon Night Out Concert — Los Angeles 2026

Oct 24, 2026 Intuit Dome, 3930 W Century Blvd, …

You have had the theme song stuck in your head since you were eight. Somebody finally built a rave out of it. Marshmello and Alison Wonderland headline with sets constructed entirely around that universe — the 30th anniversary show for the generation that grew up with the games, the cards, and the music. Eighteen thousand people, most of them in costume, none of them embarrassed. This is not a tribute act. The Pokémon Company produced it, and the lineup was chosen to match the feeling rather than the nostalgia: artists who already work at the intersection of electronic music and the visual world those games built. The production treats the music as source material instead of set dressing. Intuit Dome, 300 W Prairie Ave, Inglewood. October 24, 2026. This is what a 30th anniversary looks like when the people behind it understood that the audience grew up too.

Lenny Pearce: Toddler Rave

Oct 28, 2026 $25+ The Wiltern, 3790 Wilshire Blvd, L…

Yes, you read that right: a rave for toddlers. Australian sensation Lenny Pearce takes the drops, the bass, and the glowstick euphoria of a real dance party and rebuilds it for the under-five crowd, turning nursery rhymes into techno bangers while a room full of tiny humans and their delighted, sleep-deprived parents lose their minds on a Wednesday morning. It is the most joyfully absurd family outing you will have all year, and the parents secretly have as much fun as the kids. Wednesday, October 28, 2026, The Wiltern in Los Angeles. Wear neon, bring the noise-canceling headphones for the littlest ones, and let your toddler experience their first proper drop. This is the kind of wonderfully strange, only-in-this-era event you'll be telling people about for weeks. Come rave responsibly, juice boxes included.

Sina Bathaie

Nov 12, 2026 The Vermont, 1020 N Vermont Ave, L…

Most people in this country have never heard a santur played live, and could not tell you what one looks like. It is a hammered dulcimer, Persian, seventy-two strings, played with two small mallets, and the sound it makes is closer to rain on a metal roof than to anything in a Western orchestra. Hearing it for the first time reliably does something to people that they struggle to describe afterward. What makes this night worth the drive is that it is not a preservation concert. The instrument is run through live electronic production — loops, texture, ambient beds — which is exactly the kind of thing that gets purists annoyed and everyone else transfixed. The Iranian diaspora in Los Angeles is large enough and old enough that a room like this fills with two entirely different crowds who did not expect to be standing next to each other. That double audience is the reason to go. You will be beside people who grew up with this sound in their parents' house and people who found it through ambient playlists, and both are correct. Thursday November 12, 7:30 PM, at The Vermont in East Hollywood.

Anime Expo 2027 — Los Angeles Convention Center

Jul 1 – Jul 4, 2027 Los Angeles Convention Center, 120…

You will be tired in a way that feels earned. Four days, a hundred thousand people, and not one of them needs you to explain what you are talking about. The largest anime convention in North America takes the Los Angeles Convention Center over Fourth of July weekend and spills into the JW Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton beside it. Industry panels, screening rooms, autograph sessions with voice actors and composers, concerts that sell out weeks ahead. Studios from Japan use this as their main North American announcement stage — if a sequel or adaptation is being revealed, it often happens in a room you could be standing in. The exhibit hall carries imported merchandise and collaboration exclusives that surface nowhere else on the continent. Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S Figueroa St. Thursday through Sunday. Badges run from top-tier early-access down to single-day passes. Book the connected hotel corridor months out. Everyone who tells you that learned it the hard way.

Oceanside Sunset Market -- Summer 2026 Thursdays

Every Thursday · Next Oct 8 Free Coast Hwy & Pier View Way, Oceansi…

The Pacific is a block away. Every Thursday evening from 5 to 9 PM, the corner of Coast Highway and Pier View Way becomes the Oceanside Sunset Market — vendors, food, live music, and the light that only happens when you're that close to the water at that hour. The beach-town market that runs when the day is actually good. Local makers, artisans, food vendors, and the crowd that comes out because the evening earned it. The vendor mix is Oceanside-specific: local crafts, art, jewelry, produce, and the food vendors that the beach corridor supports. The live music stage runs throughout the evening. The Oceanside Pier is visible from the market — the setting does work the vendors don't have to. Free to attend. Parking available near the Pier. Every Thursday, May through September, 5-9 PM. Oceanside, California. The market runs through marine layer some evenings. The cooler Pacific air is part of the draw, not a reason to stay home.

Pacific Beach Night Market

Monthly · Next Nov 4 Free Bayard St and Garnet Ave, Pacific …

A hundred and fifty steps from the ocean, a corner of Pacific Beach turns into a block party that nobody had to organize you into. Fire pits going. Nine to twelve food vendors rotating week to week, so the thing you loved last time might be gone and the thing replacing it might be better. Live music that is genuinely local — acoustic sets, small bands, the occasional DJ. Games. A crowd of PB locals and students and people who simply wandered up from the beach still holding a towel. Past vendors have run birria tacos, banh mi, craft lemonade, Hawaiian shave ice, artisan pastries, small-batch hot sauces. A few craft sellers usually set up alongside. This is a neighborhood gathering, not a ticketed event. Free. No RSVP. You walk up. Bayard St and Garnet Ave, Pacific Beach. 5 to 9:30 PM. Bring a layer — it cools off fast after sunset, even in August.
