DNA Lounge - Live Music

Live Music

DNA Lounge has been well known for both DJ dance nights and live concerts. Since the club was purchased by Zawinski, they have been focusing more on live music, and in 2008 they procured an all-ages liquor license to facilitate this. Currently, dance events are generally 21+, but most live shows are all ages. Concert highlights since 1985 include:
