Academy LA Concerts 2024

Great venue for events. Went to a fashion show yesterday evening. The show was incredible and the venue was part of the reason it looked so good. The bar staff was quick and professional. They had a sign saying it was a cashless bar so I'm assuming they only take card, but for whatever reason they do have an atm inside if you need to pull out cash. The lighting was really nice with all of the screens above the dance floor area. There's a ton of parking next to the venue as well, so you don't have to walk very far, but keep in mind it is paid parking and they were only taking cash for the parking. I haven't been to this place when it's a club, but if you are looking for a place to do private gigs. This would be the spot to check out.

I used to love this venue but after the last few times, I have left sadly disappointed. Let me start by saying the sound system is great, the lighting is epic, and having smoking patios is great. I always get VIP tickets for the upstairs lounge and seating when I get tired. The last few times I went, either VIP lounge was open to all, making it too full for me to get any seating as a VIP ticket holder. Also they seem to have started renting out the sections of VIP with a view rather than using the VIP tables downstairs. Between these two things, it makes a VIP ticket, and the much higher price of it, practically pointless. The staff are almost all extremely rude and are visibly annoyed when you ask a question or ask for assistance. It makes the whole experience pretty awful and hard to enjoy the great music. Don't buy VIP here unless you want to waste money and get none of the perks associated with it.

Great nightclub, good management, didnt oversell the tickets and a good crowd! Went on a random Saturday night. Joshwa EDM was great! Public parking right beside the club

I go to Academy LA for one thing: To dance to the best EDM, period. I don't go for food, I don't go for drinks, I don't go to hook up, I go for the music and the environment. The sound system is super clear. The vast majority of the crowd is cool and there for the vibes. There's always a few that are too drunk for their own good, but that's par for the course. I only get water for hydration, and after tip it's about $9 per 20oz bottle... Hey -- tip well, people. Also - I hate looking for parking in LA so much, I wouldn't go if there wasn't a big, gated, brightly-lit parking lot right next door. (It's $20 cash as of this writing, and I don't think it's owned by the club. But super convenient!) All-in-all for me, it's about $25 for general admin (after fees), $20 to park, I get 3 bottles of water for $27, so it ends up being $72 for 5 hours of amazing music and atmosphere.

Went for a K-pop event and they way over sold the event to the point there were hundreds of people that weren't being let in and even tho people who they were with the group that had there tickets weren't being let in and left the venue being a total shot show. Whoever organized this event was bad and all the guards were also being unreasonable. Organizers should be fired as what should have been a club with Alot of experience looked like a total amateur on a first night opening
