POPROCKZ LIVE (previously known as POPROCKZ JAM) is Los Angeles’ most exciting monthly showcase night, bringing singers, musicians, and music lovers together for an unforgettable, curated live show.
Produced by Jamie Hodes and Athan Hilaki, POPROCKZ LIVE goes way beyond your typical open mic. Every event is carefully curated, blending established LA talent with rising stars and first-timers – all in a high-energy, supportive setting that feels like a full-on concert.
We host our events twice a month: the first Monday at Hotel Ziggy, and a rotating Friday at Lucky Strike Hollywood. Each night is packed with handpicked performers, house band mashups, and surprise collaborations that keep things fresh and unpredictable.
Our mission is simple: build a welcoming, zero-ego space where music and community come first. Expect pro-level sound, killer vibes, and a crowd that cheers for everyone.
Ready to join the fun? Submit your info to sing or play (make sure you review our guidelines below), or just come experience the magic. POPROCKZ LIVE is where LA’s music community comes to life – one song at a time.
Visit one of the show setlists and scroll to the bottom. Click the button for Singers or Instrumentalists and submit your request through the form. If you are not registered yet, you will be prompted to create a free account and then continue with your submission.
No. Everything is completely free. There are no fees to join, submit, or perform. Our goal is to build a strong community of musicians and create great shows together.
Yes. This is a recent update that helps us understand who you are through your profile and submission details. A minimum of one video is required (added during your new member submission form, or through your profile). Being a (free) member also auto-fills parts of the form, making submissions faster and easier.
No. We receive a high number of submissions for every show. If your song is selected, you will receive a welcome email. If not, keep submitting—selections vary depending on each show. Singers are prioritized over multi-instrumentalists when building the lineup.
Only singers submit song requests. Instrumentalists choose which songs they want to perform on after the singer lineup is finalized.
Songs are selected based on singer submissions, musician availability, and overall lineup balance to create the strongest possible show.
Singers should submit at least three songs, but submitting more gives the producers more flexibility when building the lineup.
Instrumentalists typically perform two to three songs per event, depending on availability and lineup balance.
No. Once instrumentalists submit their song selections, they do not appear on the lineup automatically. All submissions are reviewed and approved manually by the producers to ensure the best overall lineup.
In our first round, instrumentalists are typically assigned to 2–3 songs max so more musicians can participate. We will send out additional requests for musicians if needed, and your submissions remain on file. If spots are still open, you may be assigned to more songs—no need to submit again for the same songs.
If you are selected, you will be added to a group chat for that specific song (in our online chat system) where all assigned musicians can connect, share details, and coordinate the performance.
Although we accept time-slot recommendations, time slots are assigned by the producers based on the overall flow of the show. If you request a specific time slot and it does not fit the show, your song may not be selected. Please don’t hesitate to submit again for a future show. New singers are always placed in opening or closing slots.
If a song lineup is not sufficiently filled 48 hours before the event, the song may be removed from the show.
Songs should generally stay around five minutes or less. If a song is expected to run longer, it must receive producer approval before the show.
Musicians should arrive early, at least 30 min before their time-slot, and plan to be in the green room at least 10 minutes before their song so the show can move smoothly between performances.
Yes. When you arrive, scan the QR code printed at the venue using your phone to check in automatically, or find one of the producers to be checked in manually. If you are new to the show, please check in and introduce yourself so we know who you are when it’s time for you to go on stage.
If something changes and you cannot perform, notify the producers as early as possible so adjustments can be made to the lineup. If the event is within the next 48 hours, please notify your bandmates and try to find a replacement if possible by reaching out in the public chat, messaging people directly, or checking in with the producers. Any replacements need to be approved by the producers!
