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).

WHERE: Entrance will be in Santa Fe St. and Jesse St.
WHEN: February 14th, 7pm to 4am

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.

Instead, we answer to you and our communities. We are free to follow facts wherever they lead and to hold power to account without fear or favor.
