Close Your Eyes in Los Angeles

If you've been keeping up with Hollywood Events this fall, put October 25 on your calendar now. Texas post-hardcore band Close Your Eyes rolls into Los Angeles as part of their Beyond Your Eyes North America Tour, taking the stage at The Vermont Hollywood in East Hollywood.

Close Your Eyes formed in Abilene, Texas in 2005 and built a devoted following in the hardcore and metalcore scenes over the following decade. The band signed to Victory Records and released a run of albums that hit hard both musically and emotionally: "We Will Overcome" (2010), "Empty Hands and Heavy Hearts" (2011), and "Line in the Sand" (2013). They've always mixed heavy, driving riffs with a melodic core that keeps crowds moving from the first song to the last.

The Beyond Your Eyes Tour is taking the band across North America through October and November 2026, hitting cities including Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas, Orlando, Chicago, New York, and Toronto alongside Los Angeles. The Hollywood date falls on a Sunday, with doors at 6:30 PM and the show running until 11:30 PM.

The Vermont Hollywood at 1020 N Vermont Ave is a standing-room venue with a solid sound system and a layout that puts you close to the stage no matter where you end up. It's one of the better mid-size rooms for this kind of music in the city, and it fills up for touring acts like this.

For anyone searching for concerts in Los Angeles that actually deliver something with some weight to them, a Close Your Eyes show is worth the night out. Their live set tends to be physical and communal in the way good hardcore shows are: people who know every word, a band that feeds off that energy, and a room that gets warmer and louder as the set goes on.

Tickets and full pricing details are listed on the venue's event page. Checking the venue site directly is the best way to stay current on any support acts that get added to the bill.

Getting there: The Vermont Hollywood is right on the Vermont/Sunset corridor, reachable by Metro (Vermont/Sunset B/D Line station is steps away) or street parking on the surrounding residential blocks. If you're coming from elsewhere in LA, allow extra time on a Sunday evening. The neighborhood has solid parking options along Virginia Ave and the side streets off Vermont.
