Las Vegas residencies aren’t just for magicians anymore. For a long time, an extended Vegas gig was a business proposition for musicians no longer reaching past levels of radio success — the Celine Dions, Boyz II Mens, and Guns N’ Roses of the pop world. Things changed with the rise of EDM, as acts like Avicii and Kaskade set up shop in Sin City, and then came the pop stars like Britney Spears and, um, Taylor Hicks.

Now, things are gonna get funky as Chromeo has announced a summer residency at Las Vegas’ Drai’s Beachclub • Nightclub. Yes, the White Women pair also scheduled to play festivals like Glastonbury, Sasquatch!, and Governors Ball has joined the ranks of Penn and Teller and Shania Twain. It’s a bit of a left field signing for a hotspot like Drai’s, but that’s actually precisely why they were booked.



“Chromeo leads a part of the music industry that the nightlife scene hasn’t experimented with much, until now,” Drai’s managing partner Ryan Michael Craig said in a press release. “They exude a specific sound and energy that resonates with all kinds of people. Their participation in our Drai’s LIVE concert series will bring a completely different dynamic to the current state of headliners throughout Las Vegas.”

Dave 1 and P-Thugg’s first scheduled performance at the venue is July 31st, with shows on August 28th and October 9th also scheduled. They’ll also play a handful of DJ sets at the poolside Beachcliub, the first of which is slated for May 22nd.
