Live music in Los Angeles, July 2026

Cancel your Friday plans and get ready to lose yourself in a sonic kaleidoscope at the Peppermint Club with Breaking Sound x BLEACH. This is the kind of lineup that makes Spotify's algorithm look like a boomer trying to TikTok. Leila Addams will hit you with soulful vocals that weave through hard rock riffs and gothic vibes, like if Stevie Nicks did a collab with Type O Negative. Then you've got Criminal Outposts, the genre chameleons here to remind you that rock isn't dead—it's just been hiding in plain sight, waiting to ambush your earbuds with a fresh take. And don't sleep on The Band Called Sex, whose anthems about wizards and robots will have you pondering life's mysteries while moshing in existential bliss. Grab your ID, your coolest jacket, and maybe a pair of earplugs—you'll want to hear about this night for decades.

When the clock strikes ten, the ordinary world fades, and Anime Rave erupts into a kaleidoscope of pulsing neon, glitchy beats, and euphoric chaos.

But here's the kicker: it's 21+ only, ensuring the vibe stays mature and the beats stay bold. Round up your crew for a VIP experience that promises to be nothing short of legendary. But beware, tickets are hotter than a Brooklyn summer sidewalk, and any shady dealings with third-party sellers like StubHub or Vivid Seats will leave you out in the cold. Secure your passage through TicketWeb or TIXR, but move fast—it’s a race against time, and you don’t want to be the one hearing about it after the fact.
