Swervedriver: Raise at 35 at Teragram

Swervedriver are bringing their Raise at 35 show to Teragram Ballroom on Saturday, December 12, 2026, presented by Brooklyn Vegan. The title points at the band's debut album, Raise, and the milestone anniversary it marks. For anyone building a list of LA concerts for the end of the year, this one speaks to a particular crowd: people who grew up on loud, layered guitar records and never stopped wanting them live.

When: Saturday, December 12, 2026, 7:00 PM Where: Teragram Ballroom, 1234 West 7th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90017 Tickets: Through the Ticketmaster listing linked below

What to expect

Swervedriver came out of the early 1990s British alternative scene and are usually filed alongside the shoegaze bands of that era, though their sound leans harder and more driving than most of their peers. Think walls of guitar, big riffs and melodies sitting underneath the noise. A show framed around Raise is a good sign for fans of the early material, since an anniversary billing tends to put the band's formative years at the front of the night.

Teragram Ballroom suits this kind of show. It is a mid-size room with a proper stage and a standing floor, which is the right scale for a band whose music depends on volume and presence. If you want to hear it the way it was meant to be played, plan to be inside before the lights drop.

The listing does not name an opening act, and no set times have been published that we can cite. Check the Ticketmaster page for any additions to the bill, and watch the venue's announcements closer to the date for door and curfew details.

Getting there

Teragram Ballroom sits on West 7th Street on the western edge of Downtown Los Angeles, near the Westlake and MacArthur Park area. Rideshare drop-off is the simplest option for a night out, and it avoids hunting for a spot after the show. Street parking nearby is limited and rules change block to block, so read posted signs carefully if you drive. Public transit riders can reach the area by Metro; check current routes and late-night service before you head out, since a concert on a Saturday can run past the last convenient train.

Showing up a little early also helps with the line and lets you settle into a spot on the floor. Plan on ID in your bag in case the venue checks.

Why it is worth the trip

Anniversary shows give a band room to dig into the catalog rather than just play the singles, and December is a good month to catch one before the year closes. If you are looking for concerts in Los Angeles that lean toward guitars over spectacle, Swervedriver at Teragram is an easy one to circle. Grab tickets early, since mid-size room shows with a loyal following tend to fill.
