Snakehips Plays Academy LA in Hollywood, November 6

Snakehips returns to Hollywood for a Friday night set at Academy LA on November 6. The British duo built their name blending R&B, hip-hop and bass-heavy production into something that works as well on a festival mainstage as it does in a packed club, and Academy's sound system is built for exactly that kind of low-end. If you're scanning the calendar for raves in Los Angeles that lean more groove than gabber, this is a solid pick for the first weekend of November.

Who's playing

Snakehips made their name years ago with slow-burning remixes and originals that straddled pop, R&B and club music, and they've kept evolving since, pulling in vocalists and features while keeping the production rooted in bass. Academy's listing names Snakehips as the headliner; no support acts have been posted yet, so check the ticket page again closer to the date if you want the full lineup.

This kind of billing is part of what keeps EDM in Los Angeles interesting: not every big room night is four-on-the-floor techno. Academy regularly books acts that blur genre lines, and a Snakehips date fits that pattern.

Doors, age and tickets

Doors open at 10 PM on Friday, November 6, and the set runs into the early morning, with the event wrapping around 2 AM. It's 21 and over, standard for Academy. Tickets start at $34.95 through TicketWeb, which is the only outlet Academy backs; tickets from resale sites like StubHub or Vivid Seats aren't honored at the door, and your ID has to match the name on the ticket.

When: Friday, November 6, doors at 10 PM Where: Academy LA, 6021 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood Age: 21+ Tickets: From $34.95 via TicketWeb

Academy runs cashless, so bring a card or have mobile pay ready at the bar. If you're coming with a group, VIP tables are booked separately through the club's own site.

Getting there

Academy LA sits on Hollywood Blvd, a short walk from the Hollywood/Vine Metro B Line stop, which is the easiest way to skip parking on a Friday night when the boulevard gets busy. Rideshare works too, but a pickup point a block off the main strip usually beats waiting in the crowd right outside the doors. For anyone building out a full night around things to do in Los Angeles this weekend, Hollywood Blvd has plenty of food options nearby if you want to grab something before doors.
