Trainspotting Night at Boardner's in Hollywood

Club Decades is back in Hollywood with a night built around one very specific movie soundtrack. Trainspotting Night takes over Boardner's on Friday, November 20, and it is the kind of themed party that makes the list of things to do in Los Angeles for anyone who grew up on 90s Britpop and big beat.

When: Friday, November 20, 2026, 10 PM to 2 AM Where: Boardner's, 1652 N Cherokee Ave, Hollywood Tickets: $18.91 to $29.57 on Eventbrite

What to expect

The flyer tells you most of it. It lists the acts that defined the film's soundtrack: New Order, Iggy Pop, Primal Scream, Pulp, Lou Reed, Sleeper and Underworld. The listing tags the night as indie dance, indie rock, synthpop, 80s, trance and big beat, so expect a DJ-driven mix that jumps from jangly guitar anthems to rolling Underworld-style builds, rather than a straight club set.

Club Decades has a track record of decade-specific nights, and this one leans into nostalgia. If you know every word to "Perfect Day" or have ever shouted along to "Born Slippy" at 1 AM, you are the target audience. Dressing the part is half the fun, and the film's 90s Edinburgh look is easy to riff on.

Getting there

Boardner's sits on Cherokee Avenue just off Hollywood Boulevard, in a part of town where parking is tight on weekends. A rideshare drop-off or the Metro B Line to Hollywood/Highland, followed by a short walk, saves the hassle. Doors and the 10 PM start mean this is a late night, so plan your ride home ahead of time.

Tickets and planning

Prices run from $18.91 to $29.57 depending on the tier, and later tiers tend to cost more, so buying early is the safer bet. Check the Eventbrite page for age limits and the latest details before you go. If you are building a Friday around Hollywood, you can pair the night with dinner nearby, and for more things happening in Los Angeles that week, browse the EDM category and the Hollywood neighborhood page.

Whether you come for the soundtrack or the nostalgia, Trainspotting Night is a good excuse to spend a Friday dancing to music that still sounds fresh three decades on.
