What Avalon Hollywood does

Avalon Hollywood is a historic nightclub and special event venue located at 1735 Vine Street in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The venue operates two connected spaces — the main Avalon nightclub and Bardot, a 250-capacity second-floor venue with three distinct areas (Mezzanine, Proper Main, Lounge Bar) — and serves two primary customer segments: 21+ EDM/party enthusiasts attending weekly Friday and Saturday nightclub nights, and corporate/private event planners booking through a dedicated rental department. All EDM programming is presented by Insomniac Events under a core partnership that provides access to festival-level talent and integrates the venue with Insomniac's multi-brand ecosystem including Factory93, Dreamstate, Bassrush, Basscon, and Night Trip.

The venue is equipped with professional-grade production infrastructure including EAW KF760/KF761 flown line arrays, Void Incubus subwoofers, Powersoft amplification (including what the venue describes as the world's largest subwoofer club installation unveiled during Grammy Weekend), a Midas M32 digital console, GrandMA2 lighting control with DMX networking, Resolume 7 video servers mapped across a 7680x2160 pixel canvas with a 4K main screen, and a full suite of Pioneer CDJ3000/2000nx2 and DJM mixers. Ticketing is sold through the venue's own website, at the door, and via TicketWeb as the official ticketing partner.

Avalon Hollywood is owned by Insomniac Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE: LYV). Revenue is generated through four streams: event ticket sales, VIP bottle service with private sections and customizable signage, quote-based venue rental packages, and food and beverage (a full dining menu plus bar service). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by event. Distribution is direct via the website and box office, supplemented by earned media coverage in Billboard, LA Times, Rolling Stone, Variety, and other entertainment publications, plus active social channels on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and YouTube. The venue has been operating under Insomniac's programming since 2013 and continues to host events scheduled into 2026.
