On February 20, 2025, JJLA partnered with SLAACK and Full Stop Management to deliver a groundbreaking pop-up concert for breakout star Tate McRae at the Kia Forum parking lot in Inglewood. In just three days, JJLA transformed a standard parking lot into a visually spectacular, festival-style concert venue, attracting 10,000 fans in-person and engaging millions of viewers via TikTok livestream and social media—ultimately generating widespread excitement and online buzz.
The event coincided with Tate McRae’s highly anticipated album release, providing fans a memorable experience with a pre-concert festival atmosphere featuring curated food trucks, a live DJ, and interactive sponsor activations from industry giants Adidas, American Express, and Neutrogena. JJLA elevated the experience by designing and constructing the dynamic main stage and an exclusive VIP viewing deck.
JJLA put on its creative hard hat to construct a uniquely immersive experience with an industrial-inspired aesthetic. Shipping containers, scaffolding, and fencing were cleverly integrated throughout the fan journey while actual forklifts held up the stage lighting. The highlight of JJLA’s production design was an awe-inspiring stage rigged to appear suspended by a massive 40-foot, 260-ton crane, the perfect setting for Tate McRae’s visual storytelling in this new album cycle
Despite the tight timeline, JJLA leveraged strategic planning, clear communication, and collaborative vendor relationships to flawlessly execute production logistics. The complexity of coordinating load-in/load-out under strict union regulations, integrating oversized machinery, and accommodating a last-minute, multi-angle TikTok livestream showcased JJLA’s unparalleled agility and problem-solving expertise.
The event successfully raised significant funds for Los Angeles fire relief efforts and received glowing coverage from top media outlets like The Hollywood Reporter and KTLA. Fan reactions across TikTok and Twitter overflowed with enthusiasm, further cementing the event’s powerful impact. JJLA’s ability to deliver unforgettable, large-scale experiences under challenging conditions made this Tate McRae Pop-Up Concert an extraordinary milestone, celebrated enthusiastically by both clients and fans alike.
