Live on Sunset

For generations, the Sunset Strip has been the stage for music’s biggest moments. This November, a new tradition begins.

Coming November 2026

The Sunset Strip has set the tone for music and culture for decades. The Roxy recorded Bob Marley live, brought “The Rocky Horror Show” to America and gave Bruce Springsteen a stage worthy of his sound. The Whisky a Go Go was a proving ground for acts like The Doors, Janis Joplin and Guns N’ Roses before they catapulted to fame. This is where legends are made, iconic riffs ring out and music history is made night after night.

This November, the Strip adds a new chapter to its storied history. Live on Sunset shuts down a portion of Sunset Boulevard for an incredible day of live performances, bringing its rock ’n’ roll spirit out of the clubs and onto the street where it all began.

The Mile That Changed Music

Live on Sunset takes place on the legendary Sunset Strip — a stretch of Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood that has been an epicenter of music and artistic rebellion for decades. This isn’t just a street with iconic venues; it’s where rock, folk and punk history was written in real time. From icons like Frank Zappa and Joni Mitchell during the 1960s counterculture movement to David Bowie and the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the years that followed, the Strip has shaped generations of sound.

That electric legacy of live music and nightlife continues today. During Live on Sunset, you’re stepping directly into the ongoing story of a mile that changed music forever.

Stay in the Heart of the Strip

Make a night of it with a stay on the Strip. Check into a hotel with plenty of “if walls could talk” lore, or wind down at a rooftop pool after a night of live music and nightlife.

If you’re looking for luxury, The West Hollywood EDITION and The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills offer high-end accommodations and amenities, just steps from the stages.

You can even spend the night where rock ’n’ roll history was made. The Sunset Marquis is a longtime favorite of leather-clad musicians from Aerosmith to The Clash and boasts a recording studio tucked beneath its lush grounds. At Andaz West Hollywood, formerly the “Riot House” Hyatt, curated decor speaks to the hotel’s past as a playground for unruly guests like Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. The beat goes on at The Sun Rose West Hollywood and Hotel Ziggy, both with in-house music venues hosting everything from DJ sets to up-and-coming bands.

The Sunset Strip has plenty to offer when hunger strikes, too. Start the day at The Butcher, The Baker, The Cappuccino Maker, with artisan coffee and brunch favorites.
