The country is still rocked in the wake of the deadly Las Vegas shooting that killed 58 and left more than 500 injured on Oct. 1. And while activists clamor for stricter gun control laws and Vegas entertainers challenge each other to donate money to victims and their families, international hospitality company Hakkasan Group has organized a benefit concert of its own featuring many of the A-list DJs employed by its illustrious nightclubs.
“We are all still feeling shock and sadness following last week’s attack, and of course the victims, their families and all of those impacted are at the forefront of our thoughts,” Hakkasan Group CEO Nick McCabe said in a statement. “With this event we hope that our company, partners and friends can not only give back to the community, but also show that we’re united, and stand together in the face of this tragedy.”
Tiësto, Zedd, Kaskade, Steve Aoki, Lil Jon, and NGHTMRE will grace the stage of Hakkasan's OMNIA nightclub on Nov. 7. General admission tickets start at $30 with VIP tables available for purchase. All proceeds will be donated to the Las Vegas Victims Fund via the Direct Impact Fund, a non-profit that will take no fees or operating costs from the funds raised.
“Las Vegas has become like a home to me,” added Tiësto, who has donated $200,000 of his own money. “It’s an incredible city filled with great people and after last week’s tragedy, I immediately wanted to help in supporting the victims, their families, and the amazing first responders. In addition to direct donations that I have pledged, it was also extremely important to me that I perform to raise as much as possible."
Tickets are on sale now. Check the flyer below for more details.
