The Novo

The Novo is a live entertainment venue in downtown Los Angeles that also offers its spaces for private and corporate event hire. Located within the L.A. LIVE district, it gives organisers a performance-ready setting for award shows, product launches, meetings, receptions, fundraisers, academic events and gaming or esports gatherings. Its stage, sound and lighting infrastructure make it particularly suited to events where presentations, performances or a strong visual production are part of the programme.

The venue is arranged across several levels, allowing organisers to choose a room or combine spaces for a larger event. The main floor can accommodate standing audiences, theatre-style seating or a mix of seated and standing guests, while the balcony offers additional seating. A separate VIP Lounge is available for smaller receptions and meetings, with its own entrance, bar, patio and private facilities. For larger bookings, organisers can enquire about hiring the full venue.

The Novo’s event facilities include house sound, lighting and video, display screens, branding opportunities and access to an experienced event and technical team. Backstage rooms and production areas can support speakers, performers and event staff. On-site parking is available nearby within the L.A. LIVE garages, and the venue is close to hotels, restaurants and public transport.

Organisers can contact the venue’s special events team to discuss availability, arrange a tour and find a suitable layout for their guest numbers and event format. The Novo offers a distinctive option for planners seeking a centrally located Los Angeles venue with concert-scale production capabilities and flexible spaces for both business and social occasions.
