Bryce Alakai had plenty of familiar faces in the crowd when he took over Avalon Hollywood for a major night in Los Angeles.
The Love Island USA Season 8 winner performed a DJ set at the iconic Hollywood venue on Thursday, August 20, and several of his former Islanders showed up to support him as he continues his music career outside of the villa. Social media footage from the night showed Season 8 cast members including Trinity Tatum, Kayda Bosse, Melanie Magenheim, Zach Georgiou, Sincere Brown and Corbin Mims in attendance. (Facebook)
The night marked an important moment for Bryce, who was already an established DJ before entering the Love Island USA villa. Peacock identifies Bryce as a Los Angeles-based DJ and model, and he ultimately won Season 8 alongside Trinity, his partner from the beginning of the season. (@peacocktv)

The turnout was especially meaningful because Bryce wasn’t celebrating the milestone alone. His former castmates came out to show their support, reinforcing the friendships many of the Islanders formed during their time together in Fiji.
Season 8 Islanders Show Up for Their Friend
Fans quickly noticed how many members of the Season 8 cast were together at the event.
Social media clips from the night captured the Islanders enjoying Bryce’s set and cheering him on. One attendee described the group as continuing to support one another outside the villa, while footage also showed Bryce becoming emotional toward the end of the night. (Reddit)
Trinity was naturally among those supporting Bryce. The pair became boyfriend and girlfriend during the season before ultimately being crowned the winners of Love Island USA Season 8. (@peacocktv)
The support comes as the Season 8 cast continues adjusting to life after the show. With the reunion approaching, fans are getting to see more of the Islanders’ friendships and relationships outside the villa.
Ty Dolla $ign Was Also in the Building
The night had another major surprise, with Ty Dolla $ign reportedly in attendance.
Social media footage from the event highlighted the appearance, adding even more star power to Bryce’s Los Angeles performance. (Facebook)
For Bryce, the Avalon Hollywood show represents more than simply another DJ booking. It’s an opportunity to establish himself as an artist beyond his reality television fame.
Before Love Island USA, Bryce had already been performing and releasing music, including tracks released through electronic collectives. His official artist biography notes that he has performed alongside artists including Don Toliver, John Summit and Carlita. (Bandsintown)
Now, with a successful Love Island USA season behind him and a growing audience watching his next move, Bryce is taking that momentum directly into his music career.
And judging by the support from his Season 8 castmates, he isn’t making the transition alone.
Love Island USA Season 8’s reunion is scheduled to premiere on Peacock on August 31, 2026, at 9 p.m. ET. (@peacocktv)
