Event venues in Los Angeles

11 rooms holding 260,000 people between them. What each one draws on a full night, and which streets it sends them down.

Inglewood · stadium

The Rams and Chargers stadium in Inglewood, expandable past 100,000 for a final or a stadium tour. The largest crowd the region assembles anywhere.

Elysian Park · stadium

The largest ballpark in baseball by seats, with an 81 game home season. Heavily car bound, so its crowd reaches the surrounding streets less than the number suggests.

Downtown · convention centre

Downtown's convention hall, whose largest shows fill hotels for several days rather than filling a street for an evening.

Downtown · arena

Home to the Lakers, Clippers and Kings, and a concert room on top of that, so downtown rarely goes a week without a full house.

Inglewood · arena

The Clippers' own arena, opened in 2024 a short walk from SoFi, which means Inglewood now has two large rooms that can run on the same night.

Kia Forum

18,000

Inglewood · arena

A concerts only arena since its 2014 refit, so unlike most rooms this size its whole calendar is touring rather than fixtures.

Hollywood Hills · open air amphitheatre

The Los Angeles Philharmonic's summer home and the city's best known outdoor room. Its audience eats before the show rather than after it.

Downtown · theatre

The seated room inside L.A. Live, next door to Crypto.com Arena, so downtown can put two crowds on the same block on the same evening.

Los Feliz · open air amphitheatre

An open air room in Griffith Park, seasonal and mid sized, with a stacked parking system that holds its crowd on site well after the show ends.

Bunker Hill · theatre

The Philharmonic's winter home on Grand Avenue. A small, high spending audience with a fixed pre concert dinner window.

Koreatown · theatre

An art deco room at Wilshire and Western, on a Metro stop, which puts most of its crowd on the pavement rather than in a car park.

What this means if you trade here

These are only the large rooms. Most nights in Los Angeles are moved by something smaller: a club show, a conference session, a neighbourhood event that never reaches a ticketing site. Gigwake merges all of it, keeps what falls within 5 miles of your own door, and ranks it by the crowd it sends your way, 7 days ahead.
