Lucha VaVoom de La Liz (LVVDLL)—featuring an unforgettable array of world-class lucha libre-style wrestling, award-winning international burlesque goddesses, death-defying aerial acts, contortionists, comedy legends, music, classic lowriders, and more—has announced its Día de los Muertos celebration is set for Saturday, November 8th at its new home venue, the Fox Theater Pomona (301 S. Garey Avenue), a beautifully restored Art Deco landmark and one of Southern California’s premier entertainment venues.
Tickets for this 21+ event are on sale now at LuchaVaVoomdeLaLiz.com, including General Admission (Balcony Seating) for $60.90, General Admission (Standing) for $81.50, Ring Side Seating for $96.95, Golden Circle for $127.85, No FlyZone for $127.85, and VIP tables (for parties of four) for $416.25.
The wrestling lineup features superstar fighters, including the celebrated and formidable Misterioso Jr., former WWE cruiserweight champion TJ Perkins, lucha libre heartbreaker Romeo, LVVDLL’s bad boy veteran Magno, the explosive Mariachi Loco, Tijuana sensation Lady Pink, Amazona, Sugar Skull Angels, Soberano, and the terrifying Valioso. Other wrestlers confirmed include fan favorites La Fantasma de Paquita (and her ghostly chancla), Los Chupacabras, Los Crazy Chickens, and the scatological master of lucha libre, Dirty Sanchez, with his underhanded dirty tricks and signature move “A Taste Of The Awful!”
Delivering insanely off-the-cuff commentary with hilarious digs, barbs, and jabs will be long-time comedian MC Blaine Capatch, joined by a surprise celebrity co-host (TBA). Returning as ring announcer extraordinaire is international screen star and heartthrob Ignacio Serricchio, along with celebrated referees Joyce and Sergio “Platanito” Garcia.
Los Angeles-based Cumbia band Poco Pocho is also set to perform. Sharing similar narratives from migrant families and growing up listening to similar genres of music, the four-piece — Kevin Campoy (percussion), Salvador “Chava” Ornelas (accordion), Mark Vega (bass), and Arturo “Art” Guzman (percussion) — has bonded over one goal — to create their own style of Cumbia and make people dance.
This past July, LVVDLL’s home venue of 23 years, The Mayan Theater, announced it would be closing its doors in September. A pioneer of downtown Los Angeles’ revitalization and a beloved cultural landmark that served as a cornerstone of entertainment and community in DTLA for nearly a century, the venue’s closure marked the end of an era. LVVDLL honored the iconic venue with one last blowout celebration, a completely sold-out summer spectacular show on August 22nd.
LVVDLL’s owner and producer Liz Fairbairn said:
The Mayan will always be a part of Lucha VaVoom de La Liz’s DNA — it’s where we grew up, where we made history, and where our community came together for over two decades. As we turn the page, we couldn’t imagine a better new home than the Fox Theater Pomona. Its Art Deco style, top-notch production, and commitment to live performance make it the perfect stage for the next chapter of LVVDLL. We’re thrilled to bring our one-of-a-kind spectacle to Pomona and continue the legacy in a venue that shares our passion for culture and entertainment.
