TOKiMONSTA at Avalon Hollywood on New Year's Day 2027

New Year's Eve gets the headlines, but the smarter night out might be the next one. TOKiMONSTA is playing Avalon Hollywood on Friday, January 1, 2027, with doors listed at 10 p.m. It is a 21 and over show on Vine Street, and it fits neatly into the short list of EDM in Los Angeles worth planning around this winter.

Who TOKiMONSTA Is

TOKiMONSTA is the stage name of Jennifer Lee, a Los Angeles producer who came up through the city's beat scene and grew into one of its most recognizable electronic names. She founded the Young Art Records label and earned a Grammy nomination for her album Desiderium. Her sets lean on that background: bass-heavy and melodic, with hip-hop and R&B instincts underneath the electronic production, rather than a straight run of festival-style drops.

For a hometown artist, a New Year's Day booking has a certain logic. Plenty of the crowd will have skipped the countdown crowds the night before, and the room tends to be there for the music.

The Room

Avalon sits at 1735 Vine Street, a block south of Hollywood Boulevard. The building opened in 1927 as a theater, and the balconies and high ceiling are still there. The main floor fills up in front of a large stage, and the upper levels give you a place to take a break and still see the DJ booth. The sound system is built for bass, which suits this lineup.

Tickets and Practical Info

• Where: Avalon Hollywood, 1735 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90028
• Price: not listed here; see the venue's event page

The flyer prints a 9 p.m. time while the listing gives 10 p.m., so check the venue's page closer to the date before you plan your arrival. Buy tickets only through the link on Avalon's own event page. Resale listings are the usual way people end up outside with a ticket that does not scan.

Getting there without a car is easy. The Metro B Line stops at Hollywood/Vine, a short walk from the club. Rideshare pickups on Vine get crowded late at night, so walking a block or two to Argyle or Ivar before you order a car saves some waiting. Street parking is scarce on a holiday weekend and nearby lots charge event rates. Bring a government ID, because 21+ means it will be checked at the door.
