Gene at The Regent Theater in Downtown LA

If you keep a running list of LA concerts worth leaving the house for, put Friday, November 13, 2026 on it. Gene, the British alternative rock band, plays The Regent Theater on Main Street in downtown Los Angeles, a room that suits guitar-driven bands from the 1990s generation.

When: Friday, November 13, 2026, 8 PM Where: The Regent Theater, 448 S. Main St., Los Angeles, CA 90013 Tickets: Ticketmaster (price not listed in our source)

Who is Gene

Gene came out of the mid-1990s British indie scene and is usually filed under Britpop, though the band leans more toward literate, emotional guitar rock than swagger. Ticketmaster classifies the show as Music, Rock, Alternative Rock. A Los Angeles stop is a notable date for fans who have followed the band across the Atlantic, and for anyone who simply likes a band with real songwriting behind the volume.

We have not been given a set list, a support act or a set time, so treat those as open. The ticket page is the place to watch for any announcement about openers.

The venue

The Regent is a converted movie house on Main Street, and it keeps the layout of one: a mid-sized room with a clear view of the stage from most spots. It is the kind of venue where a band like this feels close, which is a big part of why live music in Los Angeles at this scale tends to be so rewarding. The venue lists several all-ages shows, but policies vary by event, so confirm the age rule on the ticket page before you buy.

Getting there

The Regent sits in the Historic Core of downtown, a short walk from Pershing Square. The closest Metro stop is Pershing Square, about three city blocks away, which makes the train an easy choice on a Friday night when downtown streets fill up. If you are driving, there are paid surface lots across the street between 4th and 5th Streets. Full-size backpacks are not allowed, and a small bag check is available for a fee.

Arrive early enough to find a spot near the stage and grab a drink before the show starts at 8 PM. The listing runs the event to midnight, though the actual end time depends on the night's schedule.
