The Echo is an American music venue and nightclub, located in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. For 14 years, it hosted Funky Sole, an all-vinyl 1960s funk-and-soul dance party.[1] The venue is also known for their punk rock shows.
History
The Echo opened in 2001. Prior to that, the space was used as a Latin-themed restaurant/nightclub. The front of the building still sports the original name "Nayarit."
In 2019, it was announced that Spaceland Productions, who owned and operated The Echo, The Echoplex, and other venues, was sold to Live Nation Entertainment.[1]
