LA's EDM Festival Scene
Los Angeles and Southern California host some of the world's most iconic electronic music festivals. From Insomniac's legendary Wonderland series to Hard Events' summer blowouts, there's always something massive on the horizon.
Festival Season in SoCal
The SoCal festival calendar runs year-round. Spring kicks off with Beyond Wonderland, summer brings Hard Summer and Day Trip, fall has Nocturnal and Escape Halloween, and the year closes out with Countdown NYE. Each event draws tens of thousands of ravers from across the country.
Getting Tickets
Major festivals sell out fast. Sign up for presale access through the promoter (Insomniac, Hard Events, FNGRS CRSSD) to get first dibs. Tier 1 tickets are often half the price of door tickets, so early bird pays off. Set up ticket alerts on MOSH to get notified when sales go live.
Beyond Festivals
Between major festivals, LA's club scene keeps the energy going. Venues like Exchange LA, Academy LA, and Sound Nightclub bring in world-class headliners every weekend. Check our tonight and weekend pages for what's happening now.
