Day Trip: Armand Van Helden at LA State Historic Park

Day Trip closes out its Los Angeles park season on Sunday, September 27 with Armand Van Helden at the top of the bill. Day Trip In The Park runs 2 to 8:30 p.m. on the Promenade at LA State Historic Park, and the flyer tags it plainly as the "Season Finale." If you want your LA EDM events in daylight with grass underfoot, this is the one to circle.

The lineup

Day Trip's own event page lists four names:

• Armand Van Helden
• James Poole
• Adam Auburn
• Athena

The listings file it under funky house, which fits the Day Trip format: an afternoon house party that finishes around sunset instead of starting after it. The organizers haven't posted set times on their page, so plan on the full window if you care about the openers.

LA State Historic Park

The park sits on the northern edge of downtown, next to Chinatown. The flyer and ticket listings put the stage "on the Promenade," and the whole thing happens outdoors in the afternoon, which is most of the reason people pick a daytime park show over a club.

Tickets and details

• Date: Sunday, September 27, 2026
• Time: 2 to 8:30 p.m.
• Where: LA State Historic Park, on the Promenade
• Age: 21+, per Day Trip
• Price: listed from $35
• Tickets: Tixr

A practical warning straight from Day Trip: it says it has no association with StubHub, Vivid Seats or other resellers, and tickets bought there won't get you in. The only valid tickets come through TicketWeb and, in some cases, Tixr. Your government ID has to match the name on the ticket, so don't buy a friend's spare without a transfer.

A Sunday afternoon show that ends at 8:30 leaves the evening open, which makes it an easy fit among things to do in Los Angeles this weekend if you've got work Monday.
