About The Artists
Zedd made his debut with "Clarity" after signing with Interscope in 2012 and has been breaking down barriers surrounding music genres ever since. Throughout his career, he has worked with a diverse range of artists to create hits, including Foxes on "Clarity" (which earned him a 2014 GRAMMY® "Best Dance Recording"), Hayley Williams on the RIAA platinum-certified hit, "Stay The Night" (which racked up more than 950 million streams), and Selena Gomez on the platinum-certified track, "I Want You To Know," which spent four weeks at #1 on Billboard's "Hot Dance/Electronic Songs" chart. Zedd has also collaborated with Alessia Cara on their hit single "Stay" which has amassed over 4.2 billion streams worldwide, held the #1 spot at Top 40 radio for six consecutive weeks, and earned him a second GRAMMY® Award nomination. With Maren Morris and Grey on the monster hit "The Middle," he earned a second #1 at Top 40 radio. Digitally, the song has over 3.5 billion streams worldwide and earned Zedd three GRAMMY® nominations including "Record of The Year," "Song of The Year," and "Best Pop Duo or Group Performance."

Nelly is a three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning rapper, singer, and entrepreneur who launched his solo career in 2000 and quickly became one of the defining voices of hip-hop. As of 2014, the RIAA ranked him the fourth-best-selling rap artist in American music history with 21 million albums sold domestically, and Billboard named him the No. 3 Top Artist of the Decade for the 2000s. Beyond music, Nelly has built a diverse portfolio spanning acting, entrepreneurship, and fashion. He has been called "one of the biggest stars of the new millennium."

Marshmello is a producer/DJ that is taking the music industry by storm. Becoming one of the fastest rising dance producers in history, his fanbase ranges from children to adults who have helped him gather over 30 billion streams and over 300 consecutive sold out shows worldwide.

DJ Diesel is the bass-driven EDM persona of NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal. Known for explosive dubstep sets and wild festival energy, he's collaborated with Riot Ten, Steve Aoki, and NGHTMRE.

Loud Luxury is the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based international touring duo composed of Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace, known for their infectious fusion of house, pop, and hip-hop influences. The pair met while attending Western University, and quickly rose to global prominence with their breakout hit "Body," now Diamond-certified in Canada, multi-Platinum in nine countries, with over 2 billion streams worldwide.

Since then, Loud Luxury have amassed billions of streams across platforms, propelled by follow-up hits including the official remix of Taylor Swift's "Fate of Ophelia" which has almost 30 million streams, "Love No More" and "I'm Not Alright," as well as their debut EP Nights Like This, which launched a three-month, 60-show headline bus tour across North America. Multi-time Juno Awards winners and iHeartRadio Music Awards nominees, the duo have collaborated with an eclectic roster spanning Pitbull, Bebe Rexha, Nicky Jam, Kane Brown, Bryce Vine, Bobby Shmurda, and charlieonnafriday, bridging dance music with pop, hip-hop, and country audiences alike.

Renowned for their high-energy live performances, Loud Luxury have performed on some of the world's biggest stages including EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland, and îLESONIQ, in addition to sold-out headline dates across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. They currently hold a Las Vegas residency with Wynn Nightlife at XS Nightclub, Encore Beach Club and Encore Beach Club at Night, further solidifying their position as one of dance music's most in-demand live acts.

Kane Brown burst onto the scene in 2016, becoming the first artist ever to lead all five of Billboard's main country charts simultaneously. The 4X AMA winner is the only artist in history to place two songs in country music's Top 5 most-streamed tracks of all time, both certified 5X Platinum. A genre-defying force, Brown has consistently pushed the boundaries of country music while amassing a global fanbase across multiple formats.

Guns N' Roses formed in Los Angeles in 1985, built around the core of vocalist Axl Rose, guitarist Slash, and bassist Duff McKagan. Having sold over 100 million records worldwide, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. After reuniting with their classic lineup in 2015, Guns N' Roses continue to record and tour, cementing their legacy as one of the most enduring acts in rock history.
