In 2024, Rock band L7 threw their inaugural hometown Fast and Frightening Takeover of the Belasco Theater. Now, they have announced that they will bring their musical vision to LA audiences again this Fall as L7’s 40th Anniversary Bash on Friday, October 3, 2025. The band will celebrate with fellow headliners Lunachicks, and CSS.

Presented by L7 and curated by frontwoman Donita Sparks, the event will again be held at the historic Belasco Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Similar to last year, the evening will have five bars, two stages, and be all ages.

Frontwoman Donita Sparks shares:

“This will mark the second year of our annual takeover of The Belasco Theater in Los Angeles which coincides with L7’s 40th anniversary, so we are making it a big party!

Suzi and I started the band way back in 1985 withstanding many trials and tribulations, band members, and misogynist rock dinosaurs. Gratefully, we survived, even thrived at times, and we want to celebrate with some of our very special friends who joined us along the way.

Enter our sisters-in-arms, Lunachicks, whom we haven’t played a show with since 1990, at CBGBs in New York City. This will truly be a momentous event of insanity and rock and roll.

Adding to this rowdiness are our pals CSS, who will get the electro-fun party going. We go back with those maniacs as well.

I think all three of our bands share a certain sense of humor, political right-on-ness and bombastic energy so look out mellow ones… you will be rocking! Come on out and join our celebration.”
