The energy and fans in these clubs is unmatched and the entire team involved create such an incredible experience for the fans and artists. I’m honored to be playing alongside my friends Tiesto, Zedd, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris and the entire artist line up. These will be some of the best performances of my career and I’m looking forward to kicking it off this spring.”
