My Slutty Valentine Fest 2026: the underground rock festival in Los Angeles

Held at the Escondite, an iconic underground club in downtown Los Angeles, My Slutty Valentine Fest celebrates Valentine's Day with an offbeat and energetic approach to the local hard rock and heavy metal scene. This one-night festival attracts a loyal community of independent rock fans for a unique celebration on February 15, 2026.

The 2026 edition brings together 11 bands with three local headliners. Healing Gems, Oog Bogo and The Crotches embody the provocative and energetic spirit of the California underground rock scene, with raw sounds reminiscent of punk and metal roots.

The programming explores the boldest fringes of contemporary American rock. GayC/DC and SEXPEACE bring theatrical and festive energy, while Fusion Babies, Dildox and GYLT explore more experimental territories between punk, metal and noise rock.

A unique evening on February 15, 2026 to celebrate Valentine's Day differently in the heart of Los Angeles. An essential gathering for underground rock and California counterculture lovers.
