ZOUK LA Turned NBA All-Star Weekend Into a Three-Night Spectacle With Jamie Foxx, GUNNA, and a Valentine’s Surprise

NBA All-Star weekend in Los Angeles already guarantees celebrity sightings, industry power players, and impossible-to-top energy. ZOUK LA still managed to outdo expectations.

The West Hollywood hotspot transformed Valentine’s weekend into a stacked three-night run, pulling in chart-topping artists, NBA players, and a packed crowd that felt closer to an awards afterparty than a typical club night. From GUNNA detonating Friday night to a surprise Jamie Foxx performance that had the entire room screaming lyrics, ZOUK LA positioned itself as the epicenter of All-Star celebrations.

Friday opened with GUNNA stepping into a wall-to-wall crowd and delivering a hit-heavy set that barely gave the room time to breathe. He ran through fan favorites including Just Say Dat, WGFT, Nasty Girl, and fukumean, with NBA players posted up throughout the venue while the audience rapped every word back at him. The message was immediate: this weekend was operating at the headline level. Saturday, February 14, escalated everything.

Jamie Foxx appeared in the DJ booth to debut his first new single in a decade, Somebody, released the day prior under his Foxxhole Productions label and timed perfectly for Valentine’s Day. The surprise moment sent a visible shockwave through the crowd. J Young MDK, who co-produced the record, joined Foxx alongside DJ Bamboozle, moving between the mic and the booth as the track played live for the first time in front of a packed room.

Foxx followed by launching into his classic Gold Digger, instantly turning the club into a full-choir sing-along. He stayed on the mic through Too $hort’s Blow The Whistle and other hip-hop staples, feeding off the energy before returning for an encore performance of Somebody. The DJ booth became its own stage as Foxx held court and kept the momentum locked in.

DJ Bamboozle anchored the night with a relentless hip-hop set that never let the floor cool down. Partygoers kept energized by GHOST Energy, El Tesoro Tequila, Moët, Hennessy, and Maker’s Mark as the celebration stretched deep into the early hours.

The weekend reinforced what ZOUK LA has been building since opening: a reputation as one of the most culturally relevant nightlife destinations in the city. Born from the partnership between global nightlife force Zouk Group and Los Angeles hospitality giant sbe, the venue operates less like a traditional club and more like a rotating stage for pop culture moments.

From Don Toliver and Playboi Carti to Nelly, Ty Dolla $ign, Travis Scott, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Shaboozey, Marc Anthony, and The Chainsmokers, ZOUK LA’s guest list reads like a festival lineup. NBA All-Star weekend simply added another chapter, stacking celebrity appearances, surprise performances, and high-production nightlife into one compressed, unforgettable run.

Located at 643 N La Cienega Blvd in the heart of West Hollywood, ZOUK LA continues to define what high-end nightlife looks like in Los Angeles, one headline weekend at a time.
