Hans Glader at The Moroccan Lounge

Hans Glader takes over The Moroccan Lounge on the first Friday night of December, and the listing files the show under electronic dance music with an amapiano tag. That makes it a different kind of night from the indie and rock bookings the room is best known for. If you're looking for EDM in Los Angeles that sounds a little off the usual festival template, this is one to circle.

When: Friday, December 4, 2026, 9:30 PM Where: The Moroccan Lounge, 901 E 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 Tickets: Through Ticketmaster (price not listed at time of writing)

What to expect

Amapiano grew out of South Africa and is built on log drums, soft synth pads and a swung, mid-tempo groove that sits closer to deep house than to a festival main stage. It rewards a small room. The Moroccan Lounge is a standing-room club with a low stage and a disco ball overhead, so the bass lands close and the dance floor is whatever space you can claim.

The source listing doesn't publish a set list or a support lineup, so treat the headliner as the only confirmed name until the ticket page says otherwise. Check it before you go, since club nights often add openers late.

Getting there and practical info

The club sits on 1st Street on the edge of Little Tokyo and the Arts District. The Little Tokyo / Arts District Metro station is about a five-minute walk, which makes the train a sensible way in. There's no lot and no valet, and street meters are mostly free after 6 PM, so plan on a rideshare home if you're staying out late.

The time on a Moroccan Lounge ticket is when doors open, and music usually starts 15 to 30 minutes later. Many shows here are 21+, and the age limit is posted on each listing, so confirm it and bring a government ID. Bags get searched at the door and the bar takes cards only.

If you're building a December plan, this fits neatly into a list of things to do in Los Angeles for anyone who wants a night of dancing without a long drive out of the city. Downtown has plenty of food within walking distance, so grab dinner in Little Tokyo first and arrive early to get a spot near the stage.
