Illegal Civilization’s Movie Motel at The Pink Motel for Red Bull Music Festival

Whether you’re into doo-wop or David Lynch, those with a taste for all things vintage and pink in Los Angeles, would see Sun Valley’s treasured Pink Motel as perhaps the best untapped resource to host a music festival.

Tickets for Red Bull Music Festival Los Angeles go on sale tomorrow, Wednesday, December 5th at 12pm PT via www.redbullmusic.com/los-angeles. Stay tuned for more programming announcements and festival details to be shared in early 2019.
