Riot! at the Disco Emo + Pop Punk Nite at Moroccan Lounge

Some nights are built for screaming every word of a chorus you learned in high school. Riot! at the Disco: Emo + Pop Punk Nite is one of those, landing at The Moroccan Lounge on Saturday, November 21. It is a dance-floor throwback to the eyeliner era, and a solid pick if you are scanning for things to do in Los Angeles once the weather cools off.

When: Saturday, November 21, 2026, 9:30 PM Where: The Moroccan Lounge, 901 E 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 Tickets: Ticketmaster

What to expect

The title spells out the format: emo and pop punk, played as a club night rather than a live band bill. Think of it as a DJ-driven singalong where the setlist is the draw. Ticketmaster files the night under its dance and electronic music listings, which fits the format, even though the songs will be guitar-era favorites rather than four-on-the-floor house.

The listing we worked from does not name the DJs, give a set schedule or publish a price. Check the ticket page for the lineup, the doors time and the final total, since fees show up at checkout. Nights like this tend to reward people who show up early enough to claim a spot near the floor and stay for the late singalongs.

Getting there

The Moroccan Lounge sits on East 1st Street at the edge of Little Tokyo and the Arts District, a short hop from downtown. Street parking nearby fills up on weekend nights, so a rideshare or the Metro A Line to Little Tokyo/Arts District is the easier bet, and it means nobody has to drive home after a night of shouting along. The event is scheduled to wrap around midnight.
