Mark your calendars and bust out your most breathable dancing shoes: KCRW and Metro Art are turning Union Station into a dance floor on Saturday, July 19, and this is one of those only-in-LA nights you’ll want to say you showed up for.
From 6 to 10 p.m., the historic ticket concourse—usually filled with bleary-eyed travelers and Amtrak announcements—will transform into a high-vibe sonic playground. On deck: a live set from the LA-based duo Brijean, known for dreamy, percussion-forward sounds that start out languid and sneakily build into ecstatic grooves. (Think: poolside in Palm Springs meets your coolest friend’s basement party.)
KCRW DJs José Galván and Novena Carmel round out the lineup, bringing their signature genre-hopping, soul-sparking sets. If you’ve ever wished your commute came with a dance break, this is the universe answering that call—minus the 405.
There’ll be pop-up bars, people-watching for days, and the chance to party inside one of LA’s most underrated architectural icons. Union Station, with its blend of Mission Revival and Art Deco, is worth gawking at even without a soundtrack. But lit up at night with DJ beats bouncing off the walls? That’s another level.
It’s free, it’s Metro-accessible (obviously), and yes, it’s actually cool to show up early. Consider it the rare night out where the whole vibe feels equal parts artsy, community-minded, and dance-ready—with zero velvet rope attitude.
RSVP is recommended (link’s on the event page), and if you haven’t wandered through Union Station in a while, let this be your reintroduction. LA’s transportation hub is stepping up as a cultural one, too.
So leave the kids with a sitter, hop on the train, and come sweat it out under the Deco chandeliers. This is what summer in LA should feel like. RSVP here.
