The two-day event takes place Dec. 10-11 at the Los Angeles State Historic Park in downtown L.A.

On Tuesday, PMC said that Grammy-nominated producer Tokimonsta will be the Sunday headliner on the Hot Import Nights stage, with performance sets by DJ, producer and pianist Accia; Hawthorne native Cuco; and L.A.-based DJ and producer Rosegold.

LA3C has made a commitment to nurture “the city’s creative heart and preserving Los Angeles as a capital of creativity and culture for years to come.” To that end, it has partnered with nonprofit arts organizations Heart of Los Angeles, which helps young people overcome barriers through no-cost academic, arts, athletics and wellness programs, and Film Independent, which champions creative independence in visual storytelling and supports emerging filmmakers from communities underrepresented, to support the next generations of creative talent in Los Angeles.

Additionally, LA3C will leverage the expertise and access of Penske Media properties including The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, Rolling Stone and Robb Report, among others.
