Red Bull Culture Clash Los Angeles will bring together four of the West Coast’s biggest party crews - Gasolina, The Do-Over, Subsueloand Recreo - who are each given the freedom to take over a corner of the venue and face off for a four-round bout, bringing big sound, heavy tunes, fierce competition and an exciting roster of special guests, all in an effort to outshine their competition and win over the crowd – because at Red Bull Culture Clash, the crowd decides who reigns supreme.
Alongside Red Bull Culture Clash Los Angeles, Shop Latinx will create a unique shopping experience highlighting the passionate and talented Latinx creatives in the world of fashion. Positioned inside the venue, this experience will celebrate a community moment featuring a one-of-a-kind marketplace.
Drawing a sold-out crowd when it last took place stateside in Atlanta in 2018, Red Bull Culture Clash aims to showcase each host city’s unique musical and cultural offerings across its past, present and future. Inspired by Jamaican sound system culture, Red Bull Culture Clash features head-to-head performances from four crews over four distinct rounds. Red Bull Culture Clash Los Angeles will follow Red Bull Culture Clash New York, which takes place May 19 at Warsaw.
