High pressure Raman and angle dispersive X-ray diffraction (ADXRD) measurements on the metallic hexaboride LaB6 have been carried out upto the pressures of about 20 GPa. The subtle phase transition around 10 GPa indicated in Raman measurements is confirmed by ADXRD experiments to be a structural change from cubic to orthorhombic phase. Ab-initio electronic band structure calculations using full potential linear augmented plane wave method carried out as a function of pressure show that this transition is driven by the interception of Fermi level by electronic band minimum around the transition pressure.
