A Spell in the Sky
Know Before You Go
Everything you need for the day, in one place.
The short version: come by Metro, travel light, bring a photo ID if you plan to drink, and leave the picnic blanket at home — the lawn is standing room this year. The long version is below.
When
Saturday, September 12, 2026. Gates open 2:00 PM, music until 8:30 PM. The set times go out the week of the show.
Where
Los Angeles State Historic Park — the corner by Cargo Snack Shack on N Spring Street. Open in Maps
Ages
All ages welcome. Kids 7 and under free with an adult ticket. You need a valid government photo ID, and to be 21 or over, to be served at the bar.
Weather
Rain or shine — the event goes ahead as scheduled.
Re-entry
Single entry. Once you leave the site you cannot come back in the same day, so do the things you need to do before you come through the gate.
Refunds
All ticket sales are final — no refunds or exchanges.
Point your navigation at the park.
Metro — the easy one
The A Line to Chinatown Station puts you about two minutes' walk from the park. On a Saturday it will beat driving, and it beats parking by more.
Rideshare
Drop-off and pick-up are on N Spring Street at the park entrance, between College and Alpine. Set the destination to the park, not to us.
Driving and parking
Nobody publishes a street address for the lot — the park does not, and the two addresses floating around online disagree with each other. So navigate to the park itself, 1245 N Spring St. The lot runs alongside the park off N Spring Street and you will see it as you come in. Spaces are limited and we sell them with the tickets: add parking to your order at checkout. Already bought your tickets? You can buy a space on its own from the parking store.
Accessible parking
Free, first-come, for vehicles showing a state-issued disabled placard or plate. If you need us to hold something, write to us before the day and we will.
At the gate.
At the gate
Everyone is searched on the way in — bags opened and looked through, and a quick pat-down. A small bag gets you through faster than a big one.
Bags
One clear bag up to 12" x 12" x 6", or one small non-clear bag up to 6" x 9". Hydration packs are fine if they are empty when you arrive.
ID for the bar
Government-issued, unexpired, with your photo and date of birth: a driver's license, a state ID card or a passport. School IDs, consular IDs, photocopies and expired IDs are not accepted at the bar.
Your ticket
It arrives by email and lives on your phone. Screenshot it before you get on the Metro — signal at the park is not reliable when a few thousand people arrive at once.
What to bring, what to leave at home.
Bring
- Your phone with the ticket on it
- An empty reusable water bottle, 1.5 litres or under — there is a free water station to fill it
- Sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses; the lawn has little shade until evening
- A small towel
- Earplugs
- Prescription medication in its original labelled packaging
- A phone or small point-and-shoot camera
Leave at Home
- Outside food and drink of any kind, and any alcohol — and the bar is licensed
- Glass, cans and coolers
- Chairs, blankets, picnic mats, umbrellas and tents: the lawn is standing room and there is no space to lay anything out
- Pets, other than service animals
- Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives and pepper spray
- Fireworks
- Drones
- Laser pointers and air horns
- Cameras with detachable lenses, and any professional audio or video recording equipment
- Drugs and drug paraphernalia
- Aerosols, spray paint and markers
- Stickers and flyers, and anything you mean to sell, sample or hand out
Keeping it a good day for everyone.
Drugs
Zero tolerance. Police work the event, inside the fence and outside it, and narcotics laws are enforced. Please be responsible and make smart choices.
On the floor
No moshing, no crowd-surfing, no stage-diving. This is a mellow show — please look after the people around you.
Selling and handing things out
No unauthorised vending, sampling, handbills or giveaways — on site or on the streets around it. Our vendors paid for their pitch.
Asking someone to leave
Security and event staff may ask anyone putting the day at risk for others to leave, without a refund.
Buying, and what a ticket does not cover.
Where to buy
Only from our own box office. Buy tickets
Resale
Tickets bought from a reseller or a scalper may not scan, and if they do not we will not be able to let you in. We cannot refund a ticket we did not sell.
Refunds and exchanges
All ticket sales are final — no refunds or exchanges — that includes not being able to make it, and it includes the weather.
Lineup changes
Acts and set times can change. The event going ahead with a changed lineup is not grounds for a refund.
Site map
You come in about halfway along the site, from the parking beside W Elmyra Street — the box office is right at the gate. The restrooms are at the top end, the far end from the stage. Between the gate and the stage you will find the food vendors, picnic tables, the bar, a free water refill point, and the We Share Records and Jbeauty stalls. The stage and the VIP area are at the far end, with table service alongside and their own bar and restroom. Emergency exits are marked along the fence.
If you need something, ask us early.
Getting around
The park is flat and the site is accessible throughout. Accessible toilets are on site.
Service animals
Welcome. Other animals are not.
Tell us first
If there is something you need, write to info@intheskyproduction.com before the day rather than on it. We can arrange far more with notice than without.
Lost something
Write to info@intheskyproduction.com and describe it. If it is handed in, we will get it back to you.
Still not answered? Write to info@intheskyproduction.com and a person will reply.
