Since its inception, Copa del Rave has raised over $60,000 in charitable donations, with every team required to contribute in order to compete. The victorious squad earns the honor of selecting which charity will receive this year’s donation, continuing the event’s legacy of giving back while celebrating the intersection of music and sport. Past editions have featured major names including Diplo, GG Magree, SG Lewis, Wax Motif, Ardalan, The Chainsmokers, and more. Last year, Red Light Management Music Group walked away as champions, but the competition remains wide open for 2025.
This year’s teams include Beatport, CAA, Capitol Records, Circa, INFAMOUS, Red Light Management, Symphonic Distribution, and Stratasonic. With talent this strong both on and off the field, Copa del Rave 2025 promises to be its most electric edition yet.
The event runs from 4:30–9 PM at Evolve Soccer Los Angeles, located at 1921 Blake Ave. Entry is open to the public for guests 21 and over, with RSVP available now at www.copadelrave.com.
As the lines between music, sport, and culture continue to blur, Copa del Rave stands as a testament to the power of community-driven experiences that unite fans and industry alike under one roof, one field, and one beat.
