20 Years of Nekrogoblikon with Aborted at The Belasco

Two decades in, Nekrogoblikon are celebrating with a proper birthday show in Los Angeles. On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the band takes over The Belasco with special guests Aborted, and it is an easy pick if you are scanning concerts in Los Angeles for the heavier end of the November calendar.

When: Sunday, November 15, 2026, 6:00 PM Where: The Belasco, 1050 South Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Tickets: Through Ticketmaster (price is listed on the ticket page)

What to expect

Ticketmaster files this bill under metal, in the nu-metal and melodic-leaning corner of the genre. Nekrogoblikon built a following on a goblin-themed take on melodic death metal and a habit of not taking themselves too seriously, so an anniversary night is likely to lean on the songs fans have been shouting back for years. Aborted come from the other side of the heavy spectrum. The Belgian band is known for brutal, technical death metal, which makes for a lively pairing: one band to grin along with, one to bruise your ribs.

Neither band has a set list posted yet, and running times are not published, so check the ticket page closer to the date for door and curfew details. The listing runs through the evening, so plan for a full night rather than a quick drop-in.

Getting there

The Belasco sits on South Hill Street near the south end of downtown, a short walk from the Metro stations around Pico and 7th Street/Metro Center. Parking lots and garages cluster nearby, so book a spot early or take the train. Rideshare drop-offs work best a block or two away from the venue entrance once the crowd thickens.

Because it is a Sunday, the night makes a good capstone to a weekend downtown, though you will want to get there early if you want a spot near the stage. The room itself, with its balcony views and ornate details, is a big part of the draw.

Worth knowing

Tickets go through Ticketmaster, so buy from the official listing and be wary of resale markups. Anniversary shows can draw a crowd, so do not wait until the last week to buy. Bring earplugs, wear shoes you can stand in, and expect a pit.
