L.A. Guns

Dec 31, 2026 Whisky a Go Go, 8901 W Sunset Blvd…

New Year's Eve in this city is mostly a tax. Somebody's cousin knows a promoter, the ticket runs ninety dollars, the champagne is a thimble of something sweet, and at 12:04 you are standing among strangers wondering why you left the house at all. There is another version of the night. A band named after the city plays the club that built the city's reputation, the bill runs six acts deep, and nobody in the room is performing having a good time for anyone's camera. Phil Lewis has been doing this since the Strip was still genuinely dangerous. Urick, Taz Taylor Band, Nasty Passion, Philthy Rych, Evil Blade and Fire 'N Ice fill out the card. The thing to understand about a stacked bill here is that it starts early and runs long, so the opener you have never heard of is very often the set people end up talking about on the sidewalk. Six o'clock on the 31st, at an address that has not moved since 1964.

Enuff Z'Nuff, Pretty Boy Floyd, The Throbs

Dec 28, 2026 $33+ Whisky a Go Go, 8901 W Sunset Blvd…

The week between Christmas and New Year's has no shape to it. Work is theoretical, the leftovers are on their fourth appearance, and somewhere in a closet there is a shoebox of ticket stubs from when you were seventeen and the Sunset Strip was the center of the known world. Nobody in your house wants to hear about it again. Here is a room full of people who want to hear about nothing else. Three bands who were actually on that Strip when it meant something, stacked on one bill on a Monday night, in the club where most of it happened. Enuff Z'Nuff still play the Chicago power-pop that got them filed under hairspray for thirty-five years. Pretty Boy Floyd have never once apologized. The Throbs open. What the regulars know: the floor here is small enough that the stage monitors bleed straight into the crowd, so you end up hearing the show roughly the way the singer hears it. Doors swing at six on Monday the 28th; the room is upstairs off the Strip.

White Lion

Dec 29, 2026 $44+ Whisky a Go Go, 8901 W Sunset Blvd…

A song you have not chosen to hear in twenty years comes on over a grocery store PA and your whole chest goes sideways. You were maybe twelve when 'When the Children Cry' first got to you. You did not have language yet for what a song could do to a person, and then suddenly you did, and it was that one. Mike Tramp still sings it, still in the same key, which is the quietly astonishing fact underneath this whole evening. This is night four of a six-night run where the Whisky hands each date to a different band that mattered in the eighties, and Tuesday belongs to White Lion. Expect the ballads to land harder than the singles. A thing regulars count on here: the between-song talk runs long and gets genuinely personal, because the room is small enough that it feels less like a concert and more like being told something. Tuesday the 29th. Tickets open around $44 and the doors go at six.

While you are looking Different scene, same night out.

Lights All Night 2026 — New Year's Eve EDM Festival, Dallas, TX

Dec 30 – Dec 31, 2026 Fair Park, 3809 Grand Ave, Dallas,…

What it is: Texas' longest-running EDM festival transforms Fair Park in Dallas into a New Year's Eve celebration that makes midnight feel like the beginning of something, not the end. Lights All Night returns December 30–31, 2026 for a two-night, multi-stage takeover headlined by Tiësto, Chris Lake, Subtronics, Gryffin, I Hate Models, ARMNHMR, and ATLiens — spanning house, techno, bass, dubstep, and drum and bass across multiple stages and six football fields of production. The experience: This is the festival that proved EDM belongs in winter. The cold air sharpens every sense. The bass hits your chest before you hear the drop. Confetti cannons fire at midnight. The year changes mid-song and nobody stops dancing because the beat doesn't stop either. Every December, the electronic music community in the South converges here because nowhere else does NYE like this — it's not a party with music, it's a festival that happens to contain midnight. Worth it? If you're the person who counts down with a DJ instead of a champagne glass, this is the only New Year's Eve that makes sense. If you've ever spent January 1st in silence because the night before was too loud to follow, you already understand what this festival sells. Two nights. 18+. Tickets from $286. What to know before you go: Fair Park is outdoors — Dallas in December is cold but manageable. Dress in layers you don't mind losing. The water stations save lives. The sound bleed between stages is minimal, which means you can hop from house to dubstep without the transitions being painful. The cultural moment: Lights All Night is the longest-running EDM festival in Texas, and its placement on NYE makes it more than a music event — it is a ritual. The people who go every year treat it like a pilgrimage. The people who go once understand why. In a country full of New Year's options — rooftop champagne, house parties, watching the ball drop on a screen — LAN offers the version where midnight happens inside a bass drop and 15,000 strangers become the same organism for exactly one second. That collective exhale at 12:00:01 is the product. The music is how you get there.

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.

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.

Taste of Soul LA 2026

In 9 days · Oct 17 Free Crenshaw Blvd (Martin Luther King …

The smell reaches you before the stages do - barbecue and catfish and soul food covering a mile-plus of Crenshaw Boulevard, because every major Black-owned restaurant in South LA has a booth out here and the food is the center of the whole thing. For one Saturday in October, this stretch between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Leimert Park Village becomes one of the largest street festivals in Los Angeles. More than 300,000 people move through in a single day. The format is street vendors, restaurant booths, live music stages, a car show, health screenings, and community organization presence - but it is the food and the crowd that make it. Founded by the Los Angeles Sentinel, the oldest Black-owned newspaper in California, it has run for over two decades and stayed a genuine community institution: multigenerational, neighborhood-rooted, and enormous. This is Leimert Park and Crenshaw at their fullest. Free to attend. Crenshaw closes to traffic for the day. The Metro K Line stops at Leimert Park Village and is the easiest way in and out. Arrive early if you want to move - by noon the crowds are deep.
