The Do Lab
, a collection of artists, event producers, lighting designers, DJs, welders, costumers, and musicians, will be taking over three blocks in downtown Los Angeles to bring you their annual Valentine's Day event,
Lucent L'Amour
. Famous for their events, like
Lightning in a Bottle
and the Do Lab stage at Coachella, The Do Lab merges art, music, fashion, and social consciousness into one amazing extravaganza. This event has been expanded to three blocks and will feature three stages of music delight.
This year's lineup is headlined by Adam Freeland, Z-Trip, and Marques Wyatt, as well as underground stalwarts, Random Rab, Jeremy Sole, J Boogie, Helios Jive, Kazell, and Jesse Wright. Lucent Dossier will be performing with special guest Mass Ensemble.
If you've never been to a Do Lab event, you're in for a treat. Expect stunning art, soul moving tunes, and fashion that rivals any Halloween party you've ever been. Join in the festivities rain or shine (hopefully more shine than rain).

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
