If you’re even remotely plugged into LA’s rock scene, you already know: Nikstock isn’t just a party—it’s a pilgrimage. And this year? We’re talking a double-barreled birthday blowout that’s got “legendary” written all over it.
Mark your calendars, maniacs: Friday and Saturday, June 20th and 21st, Nikstock storms Hollywood for its 40th Anniversary Edition, and it’s shaping up to be the bash of the decade. Doors swing open at 4pm on Friday, 2pm on Saturday, and the only thing louder than the amps will be the crowd.
Four Birthdays, One Epic Weekend
This isn’t just another gig—it’s a birthday bash for the ages. We’re raising a glass (or three) to Nick Fuoco, Mick Scott, Mojo El Diablo, and Chill, all while celebrating Nikstock’s 40th year of pure, unfiltered rock. Hollywood’s never seen a party like this.
Nightmare, Go-Go Dancers, and Wall-to-Wall Rock
Hold onto your hats: Nightmare—the Alice Cooper tribute that’ll leave your mascara running—hits the stage both nights at 11pm, hosted by none other than Ivonna Cadaver from TV’s Macabre Theater. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
We’re talking 40 bands, 2 days, 3 rooms, 2 stages, and DJ Madison Orange keeping the vibes rolling. Add in food trucks, wild vendors, drink specials, and go-go dancers, and you’ve got a recipe for rock ‘n’ roll mayhem.
