Amoeba Hollywood to Reopen on April 1st

It's time to get excited, Scenestar readers. This is NOT a cruel April Fool's joke either, because Amoeba Music is finally BACK! The Hollywood location has announced that its new location is opening next week following the closing of its 6400 Sunset Blvd closing permanently. They will now be opening their new location at 6200 Hollywood Blvd on Thursday, April 1. Amoeba will have new temporary hours as well: Monday - Sunday 11 am - 8 pm (Buy counter open 11 am - 7 pm).

The iconic record store will be following all health and safety guidelines from local city and county public health departments, including social distancing and mandatory wearing of face coverings over the nose and mouth. More details on Amoeba Music Hollywood are below, and we're as excited as you are to see the new location. See you there!

Original Amoeba Hollywood Location to Close

Sad news for music lovers that didn't get to visit the original location in Hollywood before it closed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Amoeba Music has announced that its location at 6400 Sunset Blvd will be closing permanently. They will now be concentrating on opening their new location at 6200 Hollywood Blvd when it is safe to do so. You can still order new record releases and old favorites via their online store until then. Amoeba projected that they wouldn't be able to reopen until the fall so it made more sense to concentrate on the grand opening of their new location instead of attempting to open based on current projections. You can help employees of Amoeba Music through the pandemic by donating to their Go Fund Me fundraiser as well here. Their new Hollywood location will still host in-store performances, signings, and more of what made Amoeba Music adored and unique in the music community. Unfortunately, their old (current) location will not get a proper farewell.

What was your last in-store performance at the iconic "largest record store in the world?" Ours was The Red Pears back in January. Check out Amoeba's official statement below and let us know what was your last Amoeba Music Hollywood in-store or most memorable in our comments. We'll miss you Amoeba Music Hollywood, but we're excited to see your new location sooner than later.
