Framework Unveils 2026 Summer Series Ft. Chris Lake, Gorgon City, SG Lewis & More

Framework, one of the world’s leading independent producers of underground music experiences, today announces its 2026 Summer Series, an thirteen-show run of outdoor events across Los Angeles featuring a mix of globally recognized talent and emerging artists. Spanning culturally significant locations including Gin Ling Way, Exposition Park and California Plaza, the series also incorporates two Reframe Studio Outdoors shows, further expanding Framework’s footprint across the city. The summer series kicked off May 2 with Disco Lines drawing a sold-out crowd of 12,000 fans to Exposition Park in partnership with Goldenvoice, highlighting a strong start to the season. The momentum continued at Framework’s first-ever, sold-out beach event at Cabrillo Beach on May 9 to over 6,000 fans, where &ME, a core member of Keinemusik, brought his globally recognized sound to the Los Angeles waterfront.

The Summer Series will continue on Saturday, May 30 with Gorgon City at Reframe Studios Outdoors, Framework’s open-air extension of its Atwater Village venue. The series will close on Saturday, September 19 with Francis Mercier and special guest Shimza, also at Reframe Studios Outdoors, bookending the summer with two flagship events.

On Saturday, June 6, historic Chinatown destination Gin Ling Way hosts Deep House Bible, the global event platform and label, featuring Ahmed Spins, the Moroccan producer behind recent international club releases, alongside Darco, EDD, and Erez. On Saturday, July 11, house music selector and producer SG Lewis takes over Gin Ling Way for a sold-out show, followed by Saturday, August 8 by Carlita, the Istanbul-born producer and multi-instrumentalist.

The series will then continue with a sold-out, two day LA Historic Park takeover on Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20, featuring Chris Lake with support from AYYBO, Ragie Ban, Hot Since 82, and Club De Combat.

On Saturday, July 18, SOSA, the Liverpool producer known for tech house releases, takes over Exposition Lawn. The following week, on Saturday, July 25,London-based producer and label founder Max Dean joins Luke Dean for a back-to-back performance at Exposition Lawn. On Saturday, August 22, Rossi, the London artist known for underground house sets, returns to Exposition Lawn. The series then moves downtown on Saturday, September 12 to California Plaza for Planet X featuring Ben Sterling, the producer associated with labels including Solid Grooves and Planet X.

“Los Angeles deserves live experiences that feel exciting and unique to the city. For us, this summer is about bringing people together in great locations, sharing great music, and continuing to show why Los Angeles plays such an important role in global dance music today.” – Kobi Danan (founder of Framework)

The announcement follows a landmark year for Framework. During the Coachella season, the company celebrated the fifth anniversary of “Framework In The Desert,” its now-signature after-hours destination in Thermal, California. The sold-out, three-night experience welcomed more than 10,000 attendees and further cemented its status as one of Coachella week’s defining cultural events. Building on that momentum, Framework has continued to expand its large-scale outdoor footprint across Los Angeles, which includes three take-overs of Hollywood Boulevard for Fisher and Chris Lake, Mochakk, and Adam Port of Keinemusik.

Framework’s expansion into outdoor programming builds on the success of re:frame, its Atwater Village venue concept that has quickly become one of Los Angeles’ most in-demand nightlife destinations. The strong response to re:frame has reinforced a growing appetite for design-forward, experience-driven events, and directly informs the company’s continued investment in large-scale outdoor productions across the city. From waterfront settings to downtown plazas and open-air takeovers, Framework’s Summer 2026 Series reflects this evolution, further establishing the company as a defining force in Los Angeles live music culture.

Known for uniquely transforming unconventional spaces into culturally defining destinations, Framework has built its reputation by pairing world-class dance music talent with immersive, design-forward environments and elevated production that move far beyond the traditional nightlife model. By producing safe, premium, and culturally relevant events that attract a diverse and style-conscious audience, Framework continues to set a new standard for nightlife and live entertainment.
