Andrew Bayer at Academy LA in Hollywood

Andrew Bayer is booked into Academy LA on Saturday, January 16, 2027, and it is already worth putting on the calendar. Bayer is a producer and DJ who works in the melodic, emotional end of dance music, and a big Hollywood Boulevard room with a serious light rig suits that sound well. For anyone looking for EDM in Los Angeles to start the new year, this is an early pick.

When: Saturday, January 16, 2027, 10 PM Where: Academy LA, 6021 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 Tickets: TicketWeb (price not listed in the source data)

What to expect

Academy LA is a nightclub rather than a festival field, so this is a proper late-night set on an indoor dance floor. The club describes LED panels across the ceiling and walls, plus lasers and CO2 jets, which gives a headliner a lot to play with. Bayer's catalog leans toward big melodies and long builds, so expect a night that moves between driving and dreamy rather than one long wall of bass.

The listing starts at 10 PM, which is when Academy LA normally opens its doors on weekend nights. As with most club shows, the headliner usually plays later in the night, so arriving right at open is optional. If you want to catch the full set, plan to be inside well before midnight.

Getting there and house rules

The venue sits on Hollywood Boulevard, a short walk from the Hollywood and Highland area, so it is one of the easier things happening in Hollywood to reach by Metro or rideshare. Parking nearby fills up on weekends, and a rideshare drop-off saves you the hunt for a spot and the late-night drive home.

Read the venue rules before you leave the house. Academy LA is 21 and over, and staff ask for a valid physical ID. The dress code is enforced: no sandals or flip-flops, no tank tops, and no jerseys or sports t-shirts. Shorts are only allowed in summer, so January is easy on that one. Artist merch is fine, which is handy if you are wearing a Bayer shirt.

Tickets and planning

Tickets go through TicketWeb. The source data we have does not list a price, so check the ticket page for the current tier before you commit. Shows at this room can sell through, particularly in the weeks before a Saturday, so buying early is the safer move.

A mid-January Saturday with a well-regarded melodic house producer is a solid way to start the year on the dance floor.
