Krowdexx bring Italian rawstyle to the Globe Theatre on Nov. 28

The hard-dance duo from Alba, Italy, take over a 1913 Broadway theater the Saturday after Thanksgiving, with tickets from $20.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, a 1913 theater on Broadway is going to get very loud.

Krowdexx play the Globe Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 28, at 9 p.m. The show was announced Oct. 22, and tickets run $20 to $50 through Eventbrite. The room holds 1,500, which for a hard-dance booking downtown is a statement of confidence.

If the name is new to you, Krowdexx is a duo: Giulio Destefanis and Simone Calvino, both born in 1996 in Alba, a small city in northern Italy. Their first break came at the end of 2015, when the Dutch label X-Raw Records released their track "Y.A.T." In early 2017 they signed with the UK label Gearbox Digital and the Pure Bookings agency, and they have been working the hardstyle circuit ever since. Beatport files their catalog under Hard Dance and Hardstyle, with releases such as "Lose It" on Gearbox Digital and "Never Give Up," a 2025 collaboration with AlexSo on Scantraxx Black.

Their sound sits at the heavy end of that world. Promoting the duo for its 2026 lineup, Poland's ING Silesia Beats described Krowdexx as one of the top acts in raw hardstyle and pointed to the masked identity they perform under. Last year, marking a decade as a duo, they told EDM Identity that the edits they drop in their sets were exclusive to their WE THE LOUDEST shows, with no official plans to release them. In other words, some of what you hear on the 28th you may only hear live.

The room makes the night. The Globe opened on Jan. 6, 1913, as the Morosco Theatre, built by the impresario Oliver Morosco to bring full-length drama to the Broadway Theatre District. It later ran under other names, including the President Theater, and is one of the few Los Angeles theaters to keep its original paint bridge. A renovation brought it back to life as a nightlife venue, part of the city's push to put people back on Broadway after dark. Hardstyle's kick drums in a century-old proscenium house is not the usual pairing, and that's the appeal.

On timing: the show is three weeks out and the cheapest tier sits at $20, so the smart move is to buy early rather than gamble on the higher end of the range closer to the date. Doors and set times will be posted by the promoter; plan for a late one, with the headliner on a 9 p.m. bill in a club-hours room.

Southern California has a deep hard-dance crowd that usually has to wait for festival season to see acts like this. This one comes to them, on a holiday weekend, in one of the prettiest rooms downtown. Bring earplugs.
