Friday The 16th: House and Tech House Night

Friday the 16th lands on a real Friday this month, and one Los Angeles promoter is treating it like a holiday. The party runs from 8 PM on October 16 until 4 AM the next morning, with a house and tech house bill built for people who like to dance until the lights come up.

When: Friday, October 16, 2026, 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM Where: Venue TBA, Los Angeles Price: Free with RSVP before 11 PM, otherwise $10 Tickets: Shotgun event page

What to expect

The listing tags the night as house and tech house, which usually means a steady, groove-first sound: rolling basslines, tight percussion and long blends instead of big drops. It is a club night rather than a festival, so expect a room that fills in gradually and peaks after midnight. For anyone hunting raves in Los Angeles that skip the mega-festival price tag, a free-before-11 door policy is a good sign.

The eight-hour window matters too. Plenty of Los Angeles club nights wrap at 2 AM, so a 4 AM finish gives the late crowd a proper second half. Arrive early to take advantage of the free RSVP, then settle in for the long haul.

Before you go

The venue is still marked TBA in the listing, so the location has not been published yet. Check the Shotgun page for the address once it is released, and RSVP there so you are on the list before 11 PM. After that cutoff the door price is $10. As with any listing that has not named its room, confirm the details close to the night before you make plans or book a ride.

Because the address is not out, plan your transportation flexibly. A rideshare is the safest bet for a night that ends at 4 AM, and it keeps parking out of the equation.

Part of a bigger weekend

This is one pick among the EDM events in Los Angeles this weekend, and a good fit if you want something low-commitment on a Friday.

If you are building a plan around things to do in Los Angeles on a Friday night, a free RSVP house party with a 4 AM close is an easy anchor.

Details come from the public listing on 19hz and Shotgun, and may change before the night. Lineup and venue have not been announced.
