Bonobo Live at The Wiltern: Second Night, Nov. 12

Bonobo is playing The Wiltern a second time on Thursday, November 12, with KCRW presenting the Distance in Static live tour. If the Wednesday night date sold through or didn't fit your week, this is the one to grab. It is a good pick for anyone mapping out EDM in Los Angeles this fall, and one of the more listenable things to do in Los Angeles on a midweek evening.

When: Thursday, November 12, 2026 (the listing shows a placeholder start time, so confirm doors and set time on the ticket page) Where: The Wiltern, 3790 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles Tickets: Through Ticketmaster

What to expect

Bonobo is the project of British producer Simon Green, whose records live in the space between downtempo, house and cinematic electronica. On tour the material is rebuilt for a live band, with layered visuals and longer arrangements than the studio versions. The crowd tends to come to listen as much as to dance, so expect a room that sings along to the slow builds and then moves when the low end drops.

Distance in Static is the tour's name, and the set leans on the newer material alongside the older favorites that made the project's name. Neither night has a published setlist, so treat any specifics you read elsewhere as a guess.

Why the KCRW tie-in matters

KCRW has championed Bonobo for years, and the station presenting the date tells you the audience is made up of people who know the catalog, not just the singles. That makes for a patient, attentive room, closer to a concert than a club night.

The venue and getting there

The Wiltern is an Art Deco landmark at Wilshire and Western in Koreatown, with a ballroom-style floor and balcony seating. The room is built for music that depends on clarity and low end, and sightlines are solid from most spots.

The listing did not publish a price we could confirm, so check Ticketmaster for current tiers and any resale before you commit. Parking near Wilshire and Western fills up on show nights, and the Metro D Line stops at Wilshire/Western, a short walk from the entrance. Bring ID in case the venue sets an age limit, and arrive early if you want a rail or balcony seat.
