Flying Lotus live in Los Angeles

Experience Flying Lotus live on July 12th

Steven Ellison, known professionally as Flying Lotus, will perform a concert in Los Angeles, California on July 12, 2026. His musical style is broadly categorized as experimental electronic music, frequently incorporating elements of jazz, hip-hop, and IDM (Intelligent Dance Music). Characterized by complex rhythms, atmospheric textures, and often psychedelic soundscapes, his work frequently defies easy genre classification. He is also a producer and DJ with significant contributions to the beat scene that emerged in Los Angeles during the 2000s.

Los Angeles holds particular significance for Flying Lotus’s artistic development. He grew up in North End of Long Beach, a suburb of Los Angeles, and began experimenting with music production at a young age within the city's vibrant musical landscape. The Low End Theory, a seminal weekly club night held in Los Angeles from 2006-2013, played a crucial role in fostering the beat scene where Flying Lotus gained prominence alongside artists like Madlib and Nosaj Thing. The city’s diverse musical history – encompassing jazz traditions, hip-hop innovation and electronic music exploration – demonstrably informs his artistic approach.
