Sylvan Esso at The Wiltern in Los Angeles

Sylvan Esso is the kind of act that sits right on the line between indie pop and electronic dance music, and that is exactly why it belongs on any list of EDM in Los Angeles worth planning around. The duo, vocalist Amelia Meath and producer Nick Sanborn, built its sound from sampled textures, warm synth bass and hooks that work as well in a club as they do through headphones. On February 26, 2027, they bring it to The Wiltern.

What to expect

Sylvan Esso shows are built around the live pairing of voice and machines. Meath sings and moves, Sanborn runs the electronics, and the set tends to treat the songs as dance music first. If your idea of a good night is a room full of people moving to a pulse rather than standing still with phones up, this is an easy fit.

We have not seen a published setlist or opening act for this date, so treat anything you read beyond the headliner as unconfirmed until the venue or Ticketmaster says otherwise.

The venue

The Wiltern is a restored art deco theater in Koreatown, at Wilshire and Western, and it is one of the better-sounding mid-size rooms in the city. The floor is open for standing, and the balcony gives you a clear view of the stage if you would rather sit. It is a good pick for people who want a real concert room instead of a warehouse or an arena.

Getting there

Wilshire and Western is served by the Metro D Line (Purple), which stops a short walk from the theater, and that makes it the easy way to skip the parking scramble. If you drive, expect paid lots and street parking that fills early on a show night, so build in time. Rideshare drop-off near the corner is simple, and the neighborhood has plenty of late food for after the encore.

Planning ahead

Tickets for a show this far out are rarely the last-minute kind. Check the official Ticketmaster page for current availability and pricing rather than a resale listing, and sign up for the venue's alerts if you want to hear first about any added dates. If you are filling out a winter calendar of things to do in Los Angeles, this one is early enough to book now and still have months of anticipation.
