DragonForce: Inhuman Rampage 20th Anniversary

DragonForce built a reputation on speed, and on December 13, 2026, the band brings that reputation to The Wiltern for a show built around the 20th anniversary of Inhuman Rampage. If you are sorting through LA concerts for the end of the year, this is the loudest, fastest option on the calendar.

When: Sunday, December 13, 2026, 6:30 PM listed start Where: The Wiltern, 3790 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90010 Genre: Power metal Tickets: Through Ticketmaster; price is not listed in the source

Why this one matters

Inhuman Rampage is the 2006 album that carried DragonForce well beyond the metal underground. It is the record most fans point to when they explain the band: guitar runs at breakneck tempo, big sing-along choruses and a fantasy-adventure streak that never takes itself too seriously. Twenty years on, an anniversary night gives longtime fans a reason to come back and gives newer ones a chance to see where the band's reputation started.

The listing does not spell out the exact setlist or any support acts, so check the ticket page closer to the date for the full bill and any updates.

What to expect

DragonForce shows tend to be a workout for the hands of everyone on stage and a workout for the neck of everyone in the crowd. Expect fast, melodic songs, plenty of shared choruses and a room that knows the words. The Wiltern is a seated-and-standing Art Deco theatre, and its tiled marquee makes it one of the better rooms for live music in Los Angeles. Doors generally open about an hour before showtime, and every guest needs a ticket regardless of age.

Getting there

The Wiltern sits at Wilshire and Western in Koreatown, right above the Wilshire/Western stop on the Metro D Line, which makes the train an easy way to skip the parking hunt. If you drive, nearby lots fill early on show nights, so build in extra time. Plenty of Koreatown restaurants are a short walk away if you want dinner first.
