Benny Benassi at Academy LA

Benny Benassi, the Italian producer who gave dance floors "Satisfaction" in the early 2000s, comes to Hollywood on Saturday, November 28. For anyone building a list of raves in Los Angeles this fall, a headline night from one of electro house's best-known names belongs near the top.

When: Saturday, November 28, 2026 (doors and set times not yet confirmed) Where: Academy LA, 6021 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles 90028 Tickets: Check the venue's website, academy.la

What to expect

Benassi helped define the bouncy, distorted electro house sound that crossed from European clubs into the American mainstream. His catalog leans on big synth hooks and driving basslines, and his sets tend to mix those older favorites with newer material. Expect a crowd that includes longtime fans who remember the first wave of that sound alongside younger dancers who found it through festival sets.

This is a headline booking, and nothing in the listing we have names support acts. If openers are announced, they will show up on the venue's own channels.

The venue

Academy LA is a nightclub on Hollywood Boulevard, a short walk from the neighborhood's late-night food spots and hotels. A club room suits Benassi's style well: close to the booth, loud, and built for a sweaty, singalong hour or two. If you follow EDM in Los Angeles, it is one of the more reliable stops for touring headliners.

Practical info

We could not confirm the start time, the end time or ticket prices from a published event page, so treat the time on this listing as a placeholder and check the venue before planning your night. Do not assume the show is free; club nights with international headliners are almost always ticketed, and prices tend to climb as the date gets closer.

Hollywood Boulevard parking fills up fast on weekends, and street spaces are limited. Rideshare, the nearby Metro B Line stops in Hollywood and a pre-booked garage spot are all easier than circling for parking. Plan to bring a valid ID, since this is an age-restricted nightclub.
