Oliver Heldens NYE at Avalon Hollywood

Oliver Heldens is taking the booth at Avalon Hollywood on New Year's Eve, which makes it one of the more obvious picks for anyone planning EDM in Los Angeles as the year runs out. The Dutch producer has spent more than a decade at the front of house and future house music, and a midnight countdown on Vine Street is a fitting place to hear him.

When: Thursday, December 31, 2026, 10:00 PM (doors), running to about 2:00 AM Where: Avalon Hollywood, 1735 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90028 Ages: 21+ Tickets: through the venue's official listing; pricing is not posted on the page we checked

What to expect

Heldens built his name on bouncy, bass-heavy house, with a signature low-end groove that DJs across the genre have borrowed from. His sets lean on that sound and mix in his own productions, so expect a crowd that came to dance rather than stand and watch. Avalon is a former theater with a big main floor, a balcony and a sound system made for exactly this kind of night.

New Year's Eve at a club like this usually means a countdown at midnight, a packed floor and a late finish, so plan for a long night. The venue's flyer shows a 9 PM listing while the event page's structured data gives a 10 PM start, so treat the exact doors time as something to confirm on the official page before you go. No support acts have been announced yet.

Getting there

Avalon sits on Vine Street just south of Hollywood Boulevard, a short walk from the Hollywood/Vine Metro B Line station. New Year's Eve is the worst night of the year for parking and rideshare surges in this part of town, so the train in and a pre-booked ride home is the smoothest plan. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, since the show is 21+ and the door will check.

Making a night of it

Hollywood is stacked with things happening in Hollywood on December 31, so book dinner nearby early and head to the venue with time to spare to skip the longest line. If you are building a list of things to do in Los Angeles for the holiday week, this one anchors the last night of the year. Browse more EDM events and see what else is on in Hollywood.
