Khruangbin with Men I Trust

Offer as a pre-show dinner partner from 18:30 to 19:30, with a pickup or reservation link on the ticket confirmation. Note the venue is in Pasadena, so it is a drive, not a walk.

Limited-run tour backpack or tote merch collab, sold at the merch stand with a pre-show pickup window before 19:30. Pair with a small sampling table at the bar line.

Use as a post-show stop from around 22:30 onward. Share a route map or a ride-share zone in the venue app.

Branded photo moment at the entrance or a sponsored filter for the venue, live from doors at 18:30 through the first act. Offer a free filter pack via QR code.

List as an alternate after-show or pre-show spot in the guide. Place it in the neighbourhood section, not the headline partner slots.

Branded sampling or styled photo corner near the concourse, 19:00 to 21:30, with a discount code printed on the merch receipts. Keep it low-key and not sponsored signage in the sightline.

Use only as a pre-show or weekend side-trip note in the guide, not as a dining partner; the operator should confirm any food vendors on site before listing it.

Test a small artist-print or poster bundle at the merch table, with a limited run priced for the standard budget, and track sales against the apparel lines.

Play second around 18:50 in the entry lanes, with the local act's sound lifting the room slightly.

Play third around 19:00 across the concourse, keeping the mix moving from the lounge sound into a groove.

Play fourth around 19:10 in the bar and seating areas, the energy lift before the more upbeat picks.

Play fifth around 19:20 in the main lobby, building energy as the room fills.

Play last around 19:25 in the main lobby as the final walk-in track before the first act, the highest-energy pick of the set.

Play one Holy Hive track as a low-risk test near the end of the walk-in block, around 19:15, and watch whether the early crowd stays on the floor.

Open at 19:30 on the main stage, the first act after doors. Keep the set mellow and groove-led to match the headliner's warm-up energy. Trend flat (reduced confidence on momentum).

Use as the second opener or changeover act around 19:50 to lift the room toward the support slot. Trend flat (reduced confidence on momentum).

Place as the third opener or changeover act around 20:05 to bridge into Men I Trust. Trend flat (reduced confidence on momentum).

Offer as a changeover alternate for 19:30 to 20:15; confirm set length and availability with the operator before locking it in.

Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel nightclub. Feature it as the upscale pick for 22:15 to 00:15; crew should confirm dress and entry policy beforehand.

Old-school bar with pool and ping-pong; list as the casual walk-over option from 22:15, with the guide noting it is no-frills.

Historic Filipinotown neighbourhood bar; offer as the intimate option for groups who want to continue talking after 23:00.

Seasonal bistro and cocktail bar; list it for a sit-down pre-show or post-show meal before 23:30 kitchen cutoff, to be confirmed with the venue.

Suggest as an optional walk after the show, around 22:15 to 23:00, for guests who want to stay out; keep it as a daytime-style note and confirm lighting and safety with the operator first.
