Black Diamond Studios

Lockout rehearsal studios · Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles

Rehearsal space near Downtown LA.

Downtown, Chinatown and the Arts District are great places to play, but long-term rehearsal space there can be hard to come by. Black Diamond Studios sits just northeast of downtown in Lincoln Heights, with 50 private lockout rooms and 24/7 access.

From Chinatown, Lincoln/Cypress is the next stop on the Metro A Line, then it’s a two-block walk to the door.
