— About Los Angeles

Los Angeles is the only US market where the live-entertainment economy and the Bollywood industry actually overlap on the ground. Crypto.com Arena, the Hollywood Bowl, and the Microsoft Theater anchor a touring circuit that pulls Punjabi headliners, Hindi playback singers, and SA comedy acts through the city every season — usually as the headline West Coast stop. Catch Movement runs the booking and routing operations behind those shows.

Book a Hall in Los Angeles

Concert halls, banquet rooms, theatres, cultural centres and club venues in Los Angeles — capacity matched, AV bundled, parking and liquor licensing handled before you sign.

◆ Hall Booking · Los Angeles

Find the right venue in Los Angeles for your next live event. We help promoters, artists, and private hosts secure halls and theatres in Los Angeles, the United States — from intimate 100-seat club rooms to 5,000-cap concert halls. Capacity, layout, AV, parking, and licensing all sorted before you sign.

“

We hold weekend dates while you decide — most Los Angeles halls give us a 7–14 day exclusive on a soft hold.

Los Angeles hall pricing reflects its Tier-1 status and the premium attached to weekend dates in a market where touring routings, awards-season private events, and the city's wedding economy all compete for the same calendar. Club rooms and small halls (100-400 cap) along the Hollywood-Koreatown-DTLA corridor sit at $2,000-$8,000 for a weekend night, typically inclusive of house sound but with lighting and stagehands quoted separately. Theatre and ballroom spaces (500-1,500 cap) — The Wiltern, The Novo at LA Live, Avalon Hollywood, Belasco Theater, the Wilshire Ebell — run $8,000-$30,000 with AV add-ons, IATSE Local 33 stagehand minimums, and venue-bundled security. Arena tier (Crypto.com Arena, Hollywood Bowl, Honda Center) is quoted per show with a four-wall versus revenue-split structure depending on AEG or independent operator. For South Asian community events, the most-used LA halls cluster around Artesia (the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, India Cash & Carry-adjacent banquet spaces along Pioneer Boulevard), Orange County hotel ballrooms in Anaheim/Buena Park/Irvine (Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton properties with permanent liquor licenses), and the Long Beach Convention Center for larger Diwali and Vaisakhi mainstage events. Catch Movement maintains direct booker relationships at each so we can verify weekend availability within 24 hours. Common pitfalls LA hosts hit: under-budgeting for the California ABC Daily License Type 47 (full liquor) or Type 48 (beer/wine) for a special event in a non-permanently-licensed room, missing the 30-60 day ABC lead window in LA County where enforcement is unusually strict, and forgetting that union-house theatres require IATSE calls regardless of crew size.

— What we handle
  • ✓Venue shortlist matched to event type, capacity, and date
  • ✓Liquor licensing and permit windows confirmed with the venue
  • ✓House AV bundle vs. BYO rental clarified before signing
  • ✓Parking, accessibility, and load-in logistics audited

Los Angeles hall booking FAQs — pricing, capacity, AV & licensing

How much does it cost to book a hall in Los Angeles?
Hall rental in Los Angeles typically ranges from $500 for an intimate 100-cap room to $15,000+ for a 2,000-cap concert hall. Pricing depends on capacity, weekday vs. weekend, and whether you need AV/lighting/staff bundled.
What capacity should I book for a stand-up comedy show in Los Angeles?
For a debut or local-act show, 150–300 capacity is the sweet spot. For a touring headliner, 500–1,500 is standard. We match capacity to expected ticket sales so the room doesn't feel empty.
Do you provide sound, lighting, and AV?
Many Los Angeles venues come with house AV included; some require you to bring or rent. We confirm what's bundled and what's BYO before you commit, and connect you with trusted local AV vendors when needed.
How far in advance should I book?
Six to twelve weeks for weekend dates, ten to fourteen weeks for major touring acts. Mid-week and off-season dates can sometimes be locked in two to four weeks out.
What's included in your service?
Venue shortlist matched to your event type and capacity, contract review, AV/staffing options, parking and accessibility check, and post-booking event-day liaison. You stay in control of programming.
What capacity hall do I need for a Punjabi or Bollywood concert in Los Angeles?
For a debut or local-act South Asian show in LA, 400-800 cap (Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, Avalon Hollywood, banquet halls along Pioneer Boulevard in Artesia) is the right read on the market. Mid-tier touring acts work best in 2,000-5,000 cap rooms — The Wiltern, The Novo at LA Live, YouTube Theater in Inglewood, or the Microsoft Theater. Top-tier Punjabi headliners (Diljit, AP Dhillon, Karan Aujla) play Crypto.com Arena, the Hollywood Bowl in summer, or Honda Center for the Orange County draw.
Do I need a California ABC license for a private wedding or sangeet at a non-hotel LA venue?
Yes, if alcohol will be sold or even served as part of a ticketed/contributed event in a venue without a permanent ABC license. The California ABC Daily License Type 47 covers full liquor at a special event; Type 48 covers beer and wine. Apply 30-60 days ahead through the local ABC district office — LA County enforcement is strict and last-minute filings often get rejected. Hotel ballrooms in Anaheim, Irvine, and DTLA usually run under their own permanent license, which avoids the filing entirely.
How early should I book a wedding hall in Los Angeles for a Saturday in peak season?
May-October Saturdays book 10-16 months out for the top-tier hotel ballrooms (Beverly Hilton, the Ritz-Carlton DTLA, Anaheim Marriott, Disneyland-adjacent properties) and 8-12 months out for Artesia/Cerritos banquet halls and the Cerritos Performing Arts Center. For Diwali, NYE, or awards-season weekends, premium rooms can be locked 18+ months ahead. We keep a cancellation-watch list across the 40 most-booked LA-area wedding venues for same-quarter pivots.

DJ Booking in Los Angeles

◆ DJ Booking · Los Angeles

Direct DJ booking for Los Angeles, the United States — Punjabi wedding DJs, Bollywood/Hindi DJs, club and EDM DJs, dhol players, and full DJ + dhol packages. Sangeet, reception, club night, college party, corporate event — we match the DJ to the room and the crowd.

“

A bundled dhol-DJ-emcee package saves 15–25% versus booking each separately — and the night flows cleaner with one team running the room.

Los Angeles DJ talent splits into five distinct pools, more than any other US market we work — a direct consequence of the city's Bollywood industry proximity. The Punjabi/Bhangra wedding circuit centres on Artesia, Cerritos, and Orange County; a deep bench of resident DJs play sangeets, baraats, and receptions across Pioneer Boulevard banquet halls and OC hotel ballrooms, and most rotate up to the Bay Area on alternate weekends. Bollywood DJs in LA are a tier above other US cities because many of them have actual playback or film-industry session credits — LA is where Bollywood music releases promo through diaspora media before other US markets, and DJs here often debut tracks weeks ahead of New York or Houston. The club/EDM open-format circuit runs Hollywood (Avalon, Academy LA), DTLA (Exchange), and Sunset (1OAK-era rooms) for corporate, awards-adjacent, and private bookings. The fourth pool is wedding-specialist DJ-MC packages handling the Punjabi/Bollywood/English crossover plus the dhol-DJ-emcee combo essential to an LA Punjabi reception. The fifth, often missed, is Iranian/Persian DJs serving the overlap audience in Westwood/Beverly Hills/Irvine — many Indo-Pak weddings in Beverly Hills book a crossover DJ who covers both catalogues. Fee bands Catch Movement sees most often in LA: local Punjabi wedding DJ for a 4-hour sangeet, $2,500-$5,500; Bollywood DJ-MC combo for a full Punjabi reception (8-10 hours), $5,500-$12,000; touring open-format DJ for a corporate booking, $4,500-$15,000; named touring talent (DJ NV, DJ Lyan, Bollywood industry DJs) quoted on routing, typically $8,000-$30,000+. Sound and basic lighting are usually bundled below $5,500; above that, AV is itemised separately.

— What we handle
  • ✓DJ matched to your audience mix (Punjabi / Bollywood / club / open-format)
  • ✓DJ + dhol + emcee bundle as a single contract
  • ✓Sound system and lighting sized to the room
  • ✓MC scripting and Punjabi / Bollywood crowd flow
  • ✓Deposit, advance, and day-of run-of-show coordinated

Los Angeles DJ booking FAQs — wedding, sangeet, club, dhol & fee ranges

How much does a Punjabi wedding DJ cost in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles Punjabi wedding DJs typically range $800–$2,500 for a single function (sangeet, mehndi, reception). Full multi-day packages with dhol player run $2,500–$6,000. Premium DJs with branded lighting + LED setups quote higher.
Do you book DJs that play Bollywood as well as Punjabi?
Yes — most South Asian wedding DJs in Los Angeles cover both Bollywood and Punjabi catalogue. Tell us the audience mix on the form and we'll match a DJ whose default catalogue matches your crowd.
Can you book a club DJ or EDM DJ for a Los Angeles venue or college party?
Yes. We book club / EDM / open-format DJs for nightclub bookings, college / university parties, and bar takeovers in Los Angeles. Tell us the room size, format, and music style and we'll shortlist matching DJs.
Do you provide sound, lighting, or it's just the DJ?
Most Los Angeles DJs we book bring their own DJ rig (controller, speakers for the size of room, basic lighting). For larger rooms (300+ cap) we recommend a separate AV vendor — we coordinate end-to-end.
How early should I book a DJ for my Los Angeles wedding?
8–12 weeks for weekend dates is standard. Premium South Asian wedding DJs in Los Angeles often book up 4–6 months out for peak summer / holiday weekends. Mid-week and off-season is more flexible.
Why are Bollywood DJs more expensive in Los Angeles than in other US cities?
LA is the only US market with direct Bollywood industry crossover — labels, music supervisors, and Hindi-film artists release and promote here before other US cities, so LA-based Bollywood DJs often have session, film, or playback credits that push their fees 15-30% above the equivalent NYC or Houston DJ. The premium is real and shows up in the booking. For weddings where you want the LA-Bollywood-industry-adjacent DJ specifically, expect $7,500-$12,000 for a full reception; mainstream-tier Bollywood DJs without those credits run closer to $5,500-$8,500.
Can I book a Punjabi wedding DJ with dhol player and emcee as one package in Los Angeles?
Yes — the bundled DJ-dhol-emcee package is the most-booked LA Punjabi reception combo, typically sourced from the Artesia/Cerritos talent pool. Working fee range $5,500-$10,500 depending on whether the dhol player is a touring specialist or a resident OC musician, ceremony-to-close hours (Punjabi weddings in LA usually run 9-11 hours including baraat), and day of week. Saturday peak-season weddings push to the top of the band; weekday and Sunday weddings settle in the middle.
How early should I book a top Bollywood DJ for a Saturday wedding in Los Angeles?
LA's top-tier Bollywood and Punjabi wedding DJs book 10-14 months out for peak summer Saturdays and 12-18 months out for awards-season weekends (late Feb, early Sept) where private brand events and weddings compete for the same talent. Mid-tier DJs lock 5-7 months out. For same-month bookings, weekday dates and OC venues (Anaheim, Irvine) still have availability; central LA Saturday dates within 60 days are usually only sourceable through our cancellation list.

◆ Wedding Entertainment · Los Angeles

Wedding entertainment booking for Los Angeles, the United States — Punjabi singers, dhol players, Bollywood live bands, English-market wedding singers, and emcees. Whether it's a sangeet, mehndi, baraat, reception, or a full multi-day Indian wedding, we route the right talent for the moment.

“

A multi-day Indian wedding has three to five distinct entertainment moments. We sequence all of them under one contract, with one rep on event day.

An LA Punjabi or South Asian wedding typically runs across four to six distinct entertainment moments and frequently spans three days at premium budgets — meaningfully bigger than the equivalent CA or East Coast wedding in production scale. The flow: baraat (dhol-led groom's procession, usually at the hotel forecourt in Anaheim/DTLA/Beverly Hills), ceremony at a gurdwara in Buena Park, Riverside, or Norwalk (entertainment-free), sangeet (high-energy evening with dhol, singers, DJ, and increasingly Bollywood live bands and choreographed family performances staged with a professional director — a uniquely LA element), reception (DJ + emcee + featured live performance slot), and after-party (DJ-driven, often Hollywood club-adjacent). Catch Movement programs across all of these. Most-booked LA wedding combinations: (1) dhol player + DJ-MC bundle for Saturday reception, $5,500-$10,500; (2) sangeet headliner package — a Punjabi or Bollywood playback singer with backing band or playback DJ — $15,000-$75,000 depending on tier; (3) full ceremony-to-close package (baraat dhol + sangeet act + reception DJ + late-night DJ) $35,000-$120,000 mid-market, $200,000-$1,500,000+ for celebrity-act sangeets routed in from Mumbai or featuring touring Punjabi headliners. LA also draws the strongest Bollywood live-band bookings in the US because Hindi-film-industry musicians and arrangers are physically based here. The LA SA wedding economy is less Punjabi-dominant than Vancouver or Edmonton — Gujarati, Hindi-speaking, Pakistani, and mixed-faith weddings are routine, and our roster includes Iranian/Persian-cross-over musicians for Westwood and Beverly Hills events. Emcee bookings (bilingual host running program flow, family entries, DJ coordination) add $1,500-$5,000 to an LA wedding stack.

— What we handle
  • ✓Dhol + DJ + emcee bundle on a single contract
  • ✓Sangeet headliner sourcing and rider negotiation
  • ✓Live band coordination with playback DJ handover
  • ✓Bilingual emcee (English + Punjabi / Hindi / Urdu)
  • ✓Multi-day event programming and day-of advance

Los Angeles wedding entertainment FAQs — dhol, singer, band, emcee & multi-day

How much is a Punjabi singer with dhol in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles Punjabi singer + dhol packages typically run $1,200–$3,500 for a single function. Established singers with regional radio / streaming presence quote $4,000–$10,000+. Dhol-only bookings (baraat / sangeet entrance) run $400–$1,200.
Can you book a live Bollywood band for a Los Angeles wedding?
Yes — live Bollywood bands (5–8 piece with vocalist, percussion, brass) run $4,000–$15,000 in Los Angeles depending on band tier and event length. Smaller acoustic Bollywood duos / trios start lower for sangeet-only spots.
Do you book emcees for South Asian weddings in Los Angeles?
Yes. We book bilingual (English + Punjabi/Hindi) emcees for Los Angeles weddings — reception toasts, sangeet flow, family introductions, and game segments. Emcee fees run $400–$1,500 per event.
Can I book singer + DJ + dhol as one package?
Yes — bundled packages are common in Los Angeles and usually save 10–15% vs. booking each separately. Tell us the schedule (which moments need which talent) and we quote the bundle.
How far in advance should I book wedding entertainment in Los Angeles?
Peak Los Angeles wedding season (May–October) typically books 6–10 months ahead for top-tier Punjabi singers and Bollywood bands. Off-season and Sunday/weekday weddings are easier to lock 8–12 weeks out.
How much does a dhol player cost for a Los Angeles wedding baraat?
A single dhol player for a 45-90 minute LA baraat runs $800-$2,200, sourced primarily from the Artesia/Cerritos and Orange County talent pool. A two-dhol setup (more energy, fuller sound) runs $1,400-$3,200. Most LA dhol players bundle into a full DJ-emcee-dhol package at a reduced effective rate — usually the better economic call if you're already booking a Bollywood or Punjabi reception DJ. For a baraat staged at a Beverly Hills or DTLA hotel forecourt with permit logistics, budget an extra $400-$800.
Can I hire a live Bollywood band for the sangeet portion of my Los Angeles wedding?
Yes — and LA is the strongest US market for live Bollywood bands because Hindi-film-industry musicians and arrangers are physically based in the city. Typical fee for a 5-7 piece live act with vocalist and playback DJ handover, $8,000-$18,000 for a 2-hour set. For a Hindi-film-industry-credited frontman or a touring named singer, fees move into $25,000-$150,000+. We can pull live band rosters that include actual playback/film session musicians not available in other US cities.
Do you handle multi-day South Asian wedding entertainment in Los Angeles (mehndi, sangeet, reception)?
Yes — multi-day Punjabi, Pakistani, Gujarati, and mixed-faith wedding entertainment is one of our most-booked LA service types. We package across all 3-4 days (mehndi DJ + ambient music for henna, sangeet headline act with choreographed family-performance staging, ceremony day dhol at the gurdwara or hotel, reception DJ + emcee, and post-reception after-party DJ) with a single contract and a single on-site rep across all events. LA-specific add-ons we coordinate often: choreographers for sangeet family performances, drone videographers for Hollywood-style edits, and Iranian/Persian crossover musicians for mixed-community weddings.

◆ Comedian Booking · Los Angeles

Direct booking for stand-up comedians touring through Los Angeles, the United States. We work with English-market headliners, regional features, and Punjabi / South Asian comedy circuits — for clubs, theatres, corporate events, college shows, and private parties.

“

Routing matters more than fee. We usually save 20–40% by aligning to a comic's existing tour passage through your city — same set, lower number.

Los Angeles stand-up is the deepest English-market comedy scene in the United States — The Comedy Store on Sunset, The Laugh Factory in Hollywood, the Hollywood Improv, and Largo at the Coronet form the city's headline circuit, and every major US comic passes through these rooms before, during, or after a Netflix/HBO taping. South Asian and Punjabi-language stand-up in LA is a fast-growing vertical and benefits directly from the city's industry proximity — many SA comics (Hasan Minhaj, Akaash Singh, Nimesh Patel, Vir Das on US tour stops) record specials or punch-up writing in LA, and the SA comedy community concentrates around DTLA, Pasadena, and the Westside. Catch Movement books across English mainstream (Just for Laughs Hollywood/Netflix-tier touring acts, late-night TV writers transitioning to stand-up), Punjabi/Hindi-language comedy for private corporate, college, and community shows, and the rising bilingual SA comedy circuit booking 200-1,500 cap rooms across LA County and Orange County. Fee bands: open-mic and developing acts (15-minute spots), $75-$300; established local headliners (45-60 minute sets), $1,500-$5,000; touring national headliners (English-market), $8,000-$25,000; named SA comics on tour (Zakir Khan, Hasan Minhaj private bookings, Vir Das US dates), $15,000-$60,000 + travel + rider. Corporate and college bookings typically pay a premium for clean-material guarantees and pre-approval of set content — we handle rider language and content approval workflows. For private SA wedding or sangeet comedy spots (a 20-30 minute interlude before the DJ), $3,500-$8,500 is the working LA range.

Los Angeles comedian booking FAQs — Punjabi / English comics, lead time, fees

How much does it cost to book a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles?
Local opening acts in Los Angeles run $200–$1,000. Regional features are typically $1,500–$5,000. Touring headliners and TV-known comics are quoted on request based on routing and exclusivity. Corporate / private bookings carry a premium over public-show rates.
Can you book Punjabi or South Asian comedians for Los Angeles?
Yes — booking Punjabi-language and South Asian comedy is one of our most-requested categories in Los Angeles. We work with comics across the Akaash Singh / Russell Peters / Punjabi-market tier as well as emerging local SA talent.
How fast can you confirm a comic for a Los Angeles date?
Quotes back within 24 hours when we have routing visibility. For dates 4+ weeks out we typically confirm within 5–7 business days; same-week / short-notice bookings depend on whether a comic is already routing through Los Angeles.
Do you book corporate and private comedy shows?
Yes. Corporate and private clients in Los Angeles regularly book us for holiday parties, conferences, fundraisers, and weddings. We brief the comic on the audience and tone so the set lands clean for your group.
What's included in your booking service?
Comic shortlist + indicative fees, contract, technical and hospitality riders, day-of advance, and travel coordination. You stay focused on programming and venue; we handle the artist-facing operations.
Can I book a Punjabi or Hindi-language comedian for a Los Angeles corporate or private show?
Yes — LA has steady demand for South Asian language stand-up at corporate diversity events, tech-company Diwali parties (especially Westside and Pasadena), college mixers at UCLA/USC/UCI, and private community shows in Artesia and Anaheim. Catch Movement maintains a roster of 20-25 Punjabi/Hindi/Urdu-language and bilingual SA comics who route through LA, including tour-stop bookings of major names recording specials or doing punch-up writing in the city.
Do you book the Comedy Store or other LA clubs directly?
We route shows INTO LA clubs (negotiating with each room's booker on your behalf) for promoter clients. We don't replace the club's in-house booking team at the Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, or Hollywood Improv — but for non-club shows (corporate, college, private, theatre buyouts at the El Rey, the Wiltern, or YouTube Theater), we handle the full booking and load-in directly with the comic, venue, and IATSE if applicable.
What's the typical lead time to book a touring comedian for a Los Angeles date?
10-18 weeks for a confirmed touring routing through LA, longer (5-8 months) for top-tier names doing one-off non-tour stops. For corporate shows with a flexible date window, we can sometimes lock a tour stop within 3-5 weeks if a comic is already routing through San Francisco, Seattle, or San Diego that month. LA is usually the West Coast headline stop, so most touring comics either start or end their West Coast leg here.

◆ Artist Booking · Los Angeles

Direct artist booking specialising in Punjabi, Bollywood, and South Asian touring acts for Los Angeles, the United States. Whether it's a wedding reception, a sangeet night, a private corporate show, or a public concert, we route the right artist for your audience and budget.

“

Private bookings of top-tier Punjabi headliners are routing-dependent. We quote within 48 hours once we see the artist's window against your Los Angeles date.

Direct artist booking in Los Angeles means routing a touring Punjabi, Bollywood, South Asian, or English-market act to either a public ticketed show or a private/corporate engagement — and LA is the most strategically important West Coast US stop on any South Asian touring schedule. The biggest annual flows: Punjabi tours (Diljit Dosanjh, AP Dhillon, Karan Aujla, Shubh have all played Crypto.com Arena, the Hollywood Bowl, or Honda Center in the last three seasons), Bollywood concert tours (Arijit Singh, Sonu Nigam, Atif Aslam, Shreya Ghoshal routings hit LA as the West Coast headline stop), and a meaningful flow of one-off LA-only private events tied to Bollywood film premieres, album launches, and music-industry awards. LA is typically packaged in a tour routing as 'San Francisco Bay → Los Angeles → Seattle' or for international acts as 'India direct → Los Angeles → US tour' — making LA the first US landing for many touring artists. Catch Movement coordinates the full immigration and tax stack: P-2 visa filings (the standard reciprocal-exchange artist visa for Punjabi and Bollywood acts) or O-1 visa for extraordinary-ability artists; the 30% IRS non-resident performer withholding tax under IRC §1441/1442; reduction to a 0-15% effective rate through filing a Central Withholding Agreement (CWA) with the IRS, leveraging US-India Tax Treaty Article 18 for qualifying artist income. Petitioner is typically the US-based agent or promoter; minimum 60-90 day lead time on petitions and CWA filings, and LA-based US-India tour agents are common in our network because LA is the de facto Bollywood industry hub in the US. Fee bands we see in LA: rising touring acts (300k-1M monthly listeners), $8,000-$35,000 private; established mid-tier (1M-5M listeners), $35,000-$150,000; top-tier headliners (Diljit, Karan Aujla, Arijit Singh, AP Dhillon), $250,000-$1,500,000+ private, public tour fees quoted by promoter revenue share.

Los Angeles artist booking FAQs — Punjabi headliners, visa, tax & fee ranges

Can you book Punjabi artists for a Los Angeles wedding?
Yes — sangeet, reception, and private wedding shows are our most-requested booking type in Los Angeles. Tell us the date, capacity, and budget tier; we quote real availability within 24 hours.
Which Bollywood artists tour through Los Angeles?
Routing changes by year. As of this season we're tracking active North America routings for major Bollywood and Punjabi acts including Diljit Dosanjh, Karan Aujla, AP Dhillon, Shubh, and Sidhu Moose Wala tribute shows. Send us your date window and we'll match.
What's the typical fee for a private Los Angeles sangeet show?
Local DJs and singer-DJ combos run $1,500–$5,000. Mid-tier touring artists run $10,000–$40,000. Major Bollywood/Punjabi headliners are quoted on request — fees vary by routing, length of set, and exclusivity.
Do you handle visa, immigration, and tax paperwork for international artists?
Yes. For artists routing into Los Angeles from outside North America, we coordinate with the artist's management on work permits, withholding tax filings, and immigration paperwork.
Can I book Karan Aujla, Diljit Dosanjh, or Arijit Singh for a private Los Angeles event?
Private bookings of top-tier Punjabi or Bollywood headliners are possible in LA but expensive (typically $300,000-$1,500,000+ USD plus business-class travel, hospitality riders, and full production) and routing-dependent — they only happen when the artist already has a West Coast US leg scheduled or is in LA for a Bollywood industry engagement. Lead time 5-10 months. LA's industry proximity makes one-off private bookings more feasible here than in any other US city. We track active routings and quote against your date window within 48 hours.
Which Punjabi or Bollywood artists are touring through Los Angeles in 2026-2027?
Routing changes by quarter. As of mid-2026 we're tracking confirmed or in-discussion West Coast routings for Diljit Dosanjh, Karan Aujla, AP Dhillon, Shubh, Sidhu Moose Wala tribute productions, Arijit Singh, Sonu Nigam, Atif Aslam, Shreya Ghoshal, and several Hindi-film-industry one-off LA promotional events tied to album and movie releases. For the live list, send us your date window and we'll reply with what's actually confirmed.
Do you handle P-2 visa filings, IRS CWA, and 30% withholding tax for international artists coming to Los Angeles?
Yes. For artists routing into LA from India, the UK, or other non-US origins, we coordinate the P-2 reciprocal-exchange visa petition (or O-1 for extraordinary-ability cases), file the Central Withholding Agreement with the IRS to reduce the default 30% IRC §1441/1442 non-resident performer withholding to a treaty-supported effective rate under US-India Tax Treaty Article 18, and manage the artist's US tax filing through 1042-S/1040-NR. All included in our booking service for direct-bookings of $35,000+. Minimum 60-90 day lead time on filings — LA-based US-India tour agents are common in our network since the city is the US Bollywood industry hub.

About booking services in Los Angeles.

Can I book multiple services from Catch Movement for one Los Angeles event?
Yes — most Los Angeles clients book bundled. A Punjabi wedding typically combines hall + DJ + dhol + emcee; a corporate show combines venue + talent + marketing. One contract, one point-of-contact, one event-day team.
What's the booking process for any service in Los Angeles?
Tell us the event type, date window, capacity, and budget tier via the contact form. We respond within 24 hours with real availability and a quote. Once locked, we handle contracts, riders, and day-of advance.
Do you cover Los Angeles suburbs and surrounding areas?
Yes — Los Angeles bookings include the full metro area. Travel surcharges only apply for venues more than 90 minutes outside the city core.
What's your fee — do you charge clients or take a cut from the artist?
We charge a transparent flat or percentage booking fee disclosed upfront. We never take undisclosed cuts from the artist's fee — what you pay the artist is what they receive.
