The world is still in mourning after the deadly Las Vegas shooting that killed 58 concert goers and left 489 injured on October 1st. Hakkasan Group has organized a benefit concert featuring Tiësto, Zedd, Kaskade, Steve Aoki, Lil Jon, and NGHTMRE where all proceeds will be donated to the victims and their families.
“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.”
The high profile artists will perform on the stage of Hakkasan’s OMNIA nightclub on November 7th. General admission tickets start at $30 with VIP tables available for purchase. All proceeds will be donated to the Las Vegas Victims Fund through the Direct Impact Fund, which is a non-profit that doesn’t take any fees or operating costs from raised funds. Tickets are available here.
“Las Vegas has become like a home to me,” said Tiësto who has donated $200,000 of his personal 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.”
