4884 Eagle Rock Boulevard, Northeast Los Angeles, Los Angeles

One of the most electrifying music documentaries ever, the eternally funky Wattstax is part concert-film and part powerful document of the historic Watts neighborhood of 50 years ago. Known as “The Black Woodstock” Wattstax was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to commemorate the seven-year anniversary of the Watts riots. Organized by legendary Stax Records, this monumental concert includes performances from soul superstars Isaac Hayes, The Staples Sisters, Carla and Rufus Thomas, The Bar-Kays and more, with speeches from Jesse Jackson and Melvin Van Peebles, and a comedy set from Richard Pryor. So join us as we get funk-adelic and blast this groovy classic on our killer speakers!

Come early for a Vinyl DJ Set from our bestie DJ Jéli!
