NEWS: Avalon Hollywood Celebrates Ten Years With Paul Oakenfold

A decade is unanimously regarded as a milestone, but in Hollywood’s fickle clubland, milestone is an understatement when describing ten years of critically acclaimed entertainment offerings. Few clubs in the world make it to ten years, those that do, tend to do so limping and dragging themselves along, waiting to be put of their misery, but Avalon continues to thrive. Every week Avalon’s Friday (CONTROL) and Saturday club nights draw thousands of clubbers, all eager to experience the world’s best dance music performers in one of the world’s top nightclubs.

Avalon debuted in 2003 with a massive opening night featuring the legendary Paul Oakenfold. Ten years on, over 500 Saturday nights and a million club goers later, Avalon welcomes Paul back to our decks on Saturday, November 2, 2013, to mark the venue’s first decade and ignite a new celebration.  Stay tuned for more information to come!

Over the course of the next twelve months Avalon will roll out several initiatives to celebrate the past decade, and usher in an exciting new phase in the club’s life. An extensive upgrade of Avalon Hollywood will be unveiled in the coming months, including a brand new state of the art “Avalon by EAW” Sound System. In addition, Avalon will open a new 25,000 square foot location in San Diego, cementing its position as the West Coast’s most pre-eminent nightclub brand.
