The Music of Hey Arnold Live at The Belasco

For anyone who grew up with Nickelodeon, the sound of Hey Arnold! was never just background noise. The show's mellow, jazz-leaning score gave the cartoon its rainy-city mood, and on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, that music gets a full live treatment at The Belasco in downtown Los Angeles. It is an easy pick for anyone building a list of live music in Los Angeles this winter.

When: Wednesday, December 2, 2026, 7:00 PM Where: The Belasco, 1050 S Hill St, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Price: Not listed in the source; check Ticketmaster Ages: All ages

Who is playing

The bill is billed as The Music of Hey Arnold Live! featuring Jim Lang and The PS 118 AllStars. Jim Lang is the composer behind the show's themes and cues, so this is the music played by the person who wrote it, not a cover set. The PS 118 AllStars are the band that brings those arrangements to the stage, named for Arnold's fictional grade school. The source page does not publish a setlist, so treat any specific song as unconfirmed until the night itself.

What to expect

Expect a nostalgia-heavy room. The score leans on piano, upright bass, brass and brushed drums, which suits a theater with a balcony and a proper stage far better than a loud club. If you are looking for LA concerts that skew warm and sing-along rather than loud and sweaty, this one fits.

The Belasco is a standing-room-only venue, so plan to be on your feet. The venue says there is a dedicated area for guests in wheelchairs and their companions, available first come, first served. For accessibility questions or to request accommodation, contact the venue at THEBELASCO@LIVENATION.COM or (213) 531-0580. Times and support acts are subject to change without notice.

Getting there

The Belasco sits on Hill Street just south of the Convention Center, a short ride from the Metro A and E Line stops in downtown. Rideshare drop-off is simplest for a weeknight show, and nearby lots fill up early on busy evenings, so arrive with time to spare. Because the event is all ages, families and older fans are welcome, though the floor is standing only.

Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, so buy there rather than from resellers. Keep an eye on the listing for the doors time and any added openers, and see more shows on our concerts page for other things to do in Los Angeles around the same date.
