Pro Tips for Finding Events
1. Build Your Network
The best events aren't advertised publicly. Make friends at shows, follow promoters, join Discord servers. The community will hook you up.
2. Check Multiple Sources
No single site has everything. Cross-reference MOSH, 19hz, and Instagram for the full picture.
3. Plan Ahead (But Not Too Far)
Many events are announced 1-2 weeks out. Check regularly rather than planning months ahead.
4. Follow the Artists
If there's a DJ you love, follow them on Instagram. They'll announce LA dates.
5. Don't Sleep on Weeknights
Some of the best events happen Tuesday-Thursday when venues are less crowded and more experimental.

Questions People Ask
"Why are some events not listed anywhere?"
Underground events stay underground on purpose. Once a spot gets too much attention, it often gets shut down. Build trust in the community.
"How do I know if an event is legit?"
Check the promoter's history. Established names like Insomniac, 6AM, or venue-hosted events are safe bets. Random Eventbrite listings from unknown promoters? Research first.
"Is it safe to go alone?"
Generally yes, especially at established venues. For warehouse events, go with friends until you know the scene.
"How much do events cost?"
