Academy LA

Academy LA is a newly renovated venue and multi-purpose space, fully equipped and professionally staffed located in the heart of Hollywood. Flexibility is the key in this venue – with open floor plans, state of the art production and completely removable bars and staging. It is a turnkey location with an extensive amount of options to create unique events every time.

An expansive main floor, the upstairs VIP room, a full kitchen and one of the few outdoor patios in Hollywood make Academy Los Angeles a striking choice for film shoots, charity galas, corporate events, premiere parties and award shows.

The main floor is a completely transformable space with modular seating and risers throughout giving endless options for original events specific to individual preferences and needs. Academy LA production kit includes a Funktion-One sound system, 55 Moving Lights and 154 customizable curved LED panels adding enormous production quality to the venue.

For a club experience that takes the others to school, head to Academy LA in Hollywood. Orchestrated by Insomniac — the team behind EDC, Holy Ship! and many more huge events and spaces — it’s home of the popular Day Trip party and a top stop for many upper-echelon acts in dance music today; Academy is a fully fledged festival production in a nightclub and an experience you won’t soon forget. It has been around for more than 20 years under five different names, but now more people are hyped about it than ever. The history of ragers the space is known for is part of what makes it such a defining venue for the city, and the fact that Academy routinely books dynamite acts like Excision, Boys Noize, Nicky Romero, Moon Boots, ARMNHMR, and Desert Hearts certainly helps.

From its 145 programmable curved ceiling panels, which are like illuminated dragon scales, to its 55 kinetic light fixtures, the Academy is visually tremendous; however, it’s probably the soul-gripping bass from the Funktion-One soundsystem that you’ll remember most. Prime moments are accentuated with the icy blasts of CO2 cannons and celebratory ones are elevated in the glam of an upstairs VIP lounge. The Academy’s two patios are great places to socialise with new and old friends too.
