If there’s one thing Los Angeles does every summer, it’s collectively decide on a handful of places everyone suddenly wants to be. The places that take over group chats by Thursday, flood Instagram stories by Saturday night, and instantly become the highlight of your weekend. This summer, Framework returns with its 2026 Summer Series, a 13 show run that feels destined to become the answer to LA’s favorite question: “what are we doing this weekend?”
Framework, the underground music and nightlife collective behind some of LA’s most talked about EDM experiences, is turning spaces across the city, from Chinatown and Downtown plazas to sprawling urban parks, into open air destinations soundtracked by some of dance music’s biggest names and rising artists. From Chris Lake, Gorgon City, and SG Lewis to Carlita, SOSA, Francis Mercier, and more, these names will be spread across a city-wide series that’ll feel like the summer’s own social calendar.
The series already started with momentum. Disco Lines drew a sold-out crowd of 12,000 at Exposition Park earlier this month, while &ME brought Keinemusik’s hypnotic sound to Framework’s first beach event at Cabrillo Beach.
The real summer run is only beginning, though.
The series continues May 30 with Gorgon City opening Framework’s outdoor Reframe Studios before rolling into a lineup that moves through some of the city’s most recognizable spaces. Gin Ling Way becomes home to Deep House Bible in June, followed by SG Lewis and Carlita each stepping in later in the summer. Chris Lake lands for a sold-out two-night LA Historic Park takeover, while names including SOSA, Rossi, Max Dean and Luke Dean pull the energy toward Exposition Lawn.
“This summer is about bringing people together in great locations, sharing great music, and continuing to show why LA plays such an important role in global dance music today.”
By September, things shift downtown as Planet X takes over California Plaza with Ben Sterling before the season closes with Francis Mercier and Shimza back at Reframe Studios Outdoors.
“LA deserves live experiences that feel exciting and unique to the city,” says Framework founder Kobi Danan. “For us, this summer is about bringing people together in great locations, sharing great music, and continuing to show why LA plays such an important role in global dance music today.”

For a nightlife landscape built around music and experience, Framework has become an example of how diverse LA’s nightlife really is, moving away from traditional club formats and into something more city wide and immersive.
This summer, chances are if you ask someone where they’re headed, Framework’s summer series is probably already on the itinerary.
