The Do-Over is a weekly party held on Sundays throughout the duration of each Summer in Los Angeles, California. It is hosted by the trio of Aloe Blacc, Jamie Strong, and Chris Haycock. What is truly intriguing about the Do-Over is that the DJs who perform each week are kept secret until the event begins. This does not deter party-goers at all, though, since they continuously reach capacity on a weekly basis due to their steady flow of top tier DJs, great environment, and entertain hosts. Don’t believe me? Check out the line that is so notorious, it has its own Twitter account: Do Over Line.
The Do-Over has recently teamed up with Adidas Originals to embark on a world tour ranging from Berlin to Beijing, though their next event stays within the confines of California (*see flyer above for details). Check out how Adidas and the Do-Over started off 2011 with the New-Over fiesta that included J.Rocc, Diplo, Rockwell & more:
