Hedex Brings Jump-Up DnB to Academy LA in Hollywood

Hedex lands at Academy LA on Saturday, October 24, bringing jump-up drum & bass to Hollywood Blvd for one loud night. If you're tracking raves in Los Angeles for late October, this is one of the heavier nights on the calendar: a UK DnB producer known for pushing the tempo and the bass weight at the same time.

Who's playing

Hedex has built a name in the UK drum & bass scene as a jump-up specialist, the DnB subgenre built on bouncy, aggressive basslines and a party-first energy on the dance floor. His production also pulls in dubstep and space-bass textures, so the set leans heavier than a straight DnB night, closer to the crossover sound that's been fueling EDM in Los Angeles clubs this year. Academy's own listing calls its club nights among "the hottest club events in LA," and a 180bpm headliner like this is exactly the kind of booking that backs that up.

No openers have been announced yet on either the venue page or the ticket listing. Check back closer to the date if a support slot gets added.

When and where

When: Saturday, October 24, 2026, doors at 10 PM, running until 2 AM Where: Academy LA, 6021 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 Age: 21 and over

Academy LA is a Hollywood Blvd nightclub with a serious sound system, which matters for a bass-heavy DnB set like this one. The room fills up fast once the subwoofers kick in, so plan to arrive close to doors if you want room to move.

Tickets

Tickets are sold exclusively through TicketWeb; Academy's door policy only honors tickets bought there (and occasionally Tixr), so skip the resale sites. Neither TicketWeb's listing nor Academy's own page had a price posted at the time of writing, so check the TicketWeb link directly for current pricing before you head out. Bring a government-issued ID that matches the name on your ticket.

Getting there

Academy LA sits a short walk from the Hollywood/Vine Metro B Line stop, which is the easiest way in if you don't want to deal with event-night parking rates along the boulevard. If you're searching things to do near me for a Hollywood Saturday that isn't the usual tourist strip, a DnB night at Academy is a solid left turn. Rideshare drop-off a block off Hollywood Blvd tends to beat waiting for a curb spot right at the venue.
