With the introduction of Karaoke Champions, Astronaut City, the newly opened venue that has rapidly become a live entertainment hot spot in the San Gabriel Valley, is changing the game on karaoke. Astronaut City will be offering San Gabriel residents and visitors a one-of-a-kind and high-energy karaoke experience. Karaoke Champions will premiere on January 11, 2026, and will bring community-spirited, high-energy audience performances and engagement to the Astronaut City venue every Sunday and Tuesday night.
Karaoke is a favorite in most entertainment venues, but Astronaut City has introduced an even more exciting version of karaoke, and it’s called Karaoke Champions. Astronaut City has built a reputation for an intimate comedy club atmosphere and vibrant performances, and will now be offering karaoke. However, this version of karaoke has high stakes and is for those who like to sing, perform, and entertain. This version of karaoke is designed to be exciting and will incorporate music, costumes, and audience participation to create an exciting experience for everyone in the San Gabriel Valley.
A New Karaoke Competition Innovations
Unlike typical karaoke events, Karaoke Champions hosts local talent in singing competitions. Karaoke Champions gives away some fun prizes, like gift bags and wine. The competition is also lighthearted and full of fun. They encourage performers to get creative with costumes, props, and even choreography. The audience also gets to participate in the audience votes for their favorite performers.
Everyone involved gets to enjoy the show, and the performers especially get to enjoy the experience of putting on a creative show. Teresa Lo, a founder of the show and owner of Astronaut City, points out that the main competitive aspects of the show aren’t the main focus; it’s just meant to be fun and a chance to enjoy yourselves. Lo describes the competition as one of a kind, with a perfect combination of fun and performance, making it great for karaoke lovers and people trying it for the first time.
Astronaut City: A Local Entertainment Hub
After its opening in September 2025, Astronaut City has become an instant favorite among entertainment options in the San Gabriel Valley. The venue’s intimately sized audience (fewer than 50 seats) creates a personal, interactive vibe and experience perfect for locals who want recently high-quality entertainment sans the drive to downtown Los Angeles.
From comedy and stand-up to live music, the Astronaut City event calendar is chock full of options. Karaoke Champions is the latest addition to the growing list of events made to engage audiences and performers alike. Offering a comfy and inexpensive alternative to larger clubs and theaters, Astronaut City is a neighborhood entertainment oasis.
Participating in the Karaoke Champions
All participants who need to compete in the Karaoke Champions need to sign up online to reserve their spot in the competition. After signing up, participants need to arrive at Astronaut City, where they sign up in person at 7:00 pm with the song they plan to perform, with the competition beginning at 8:00 pm. The lineup is assigned based on first-come, first-served. Therefore, those who signed up online will get more priority.
As long as space is available, walk-ins will also be able to compete, but those who signed up online will get priority. For the audience, there is no entrance fee, but there is a bar with a 2-item minimum, and they sell alcohol, soju, and soft drinks.
A Different Type of Karaoke Experience
The difference in Karaoke Champions is Theaters and Comedy. Most of the participants have experience in singing, dancing, and theatrical performances, so there should be a wide variety of performing arts styles to choose from. Karaoke is seen as a performance, and karaoke participants are asked to engage their audiences with Comedy, Storytelling, and emotional depths while they sing.
Nisreen Soufi, one of the contestants in the recently aired Karaoke Champions, expressed that karaoke has the potential to unlock one’s artistic self. With Soufi treating karaoke as a “character piece,” karaoke is an embodiment of the philosophy “where the presence of the performer overrides the perfection of the performance,” and that’s exactly the kind of philosophy that Karaoke Champions embraces. It’s about liberating your spirit and having a good time.
Karaoke Champions as the Newest Addition to Astronaut City
Karaoke Champions is yet another example of how Astronaut City is enhancing its position in the San Gabriel Valley’s burgeoning entertainment industry. Winter 2026 is set to offer an exciting assortment of entertainment at Astronaut City, including improv, stand-up, and live music, making it a hotspot for San Gabriel Valley residents seeking entertainment.
With many of Astronaut City’s local talent performers becoming audience favorites, the venue’s small size creates a setting where the audience can engage and interact with the performers in a way that larger venues can’t. Because of its warm and interactive atmosphere, the venue creates a community of loyal patrons who return for the ambience as much as the entertainment.
Why you Should attend Karaoke Champions
Karaoke Champions has everything you want in a live entertainment experience – a chance to perform/watch local talent, sing along to fun music, and participate in audience games. Karaoke Champions has a little something for everyone. Even if you’re not a performer, you can enjoy a different experience from the typical karaoke shows. You will be joining a creative and fun atmosphere as part of the audience and will be more than just a spectator.
In a place with different entertainment options, Astronaut City is creating a unique space for local audiences to experience high-quality entertainment for a low price. Karaoke Champions is yet another event demonstrating how Astronaut City is creating affordable entertainment for everyone in the San Gabriel Valley.
