Sensational Summertime EDM Happenings

If you’re a fan of electronic dance music, kick-ass theme parties or both, you’ve got a lot to look forward to this season in Rhode Island.

Coming up on Wednesday, June 7, Grammy-winning EDM-pop DJ/producer duo The Chainsmokers are taking their “Memories: Do Not Open” arena tour to the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence. We know them best for their recent pop hits, but based on reviews from earlier in the tour, people who go to this show can expect to hear mostly older Chainsmokers beats, and the staging/production is gonna be on point! Every ticket purchased online includes a copy of The Chainsmokers’ forthcoming debut album. For more info and to get tickets, visit dunkindonutscenter.com/events.

Then on Sunday, July 2, DJ and producer Prince Fox is spinning a “Tikki Beach”-themed event at Paddy’s Beach Club (located on Misquamicut Beach in Westerly). This all-day, 21+ party will be the final “Sunday Funday” for the summer. To purchase tickets, visit tinyurl.com/kx48r7t.

And it will only get better from there! For the rest of the summer, Tight Crew’s got us covered as far as fan-fucking-tastic dance events go. It feels crazy to be saying this, but on July 18, they’ll celebrate the 10-year anniversary of terrifically Tight events, a tour and much more! Tight Crew’s anniversary party is happening in Smithfield.

Just when we may be feeling some post-Labor Day blues, thinking that summer’s over, well, it’s not! On Saturday, September 9, Tight Crew is back for more fun in the sun. They’re throwing a Super Mario Sunshine party at the Windjammer in Westerly. Past Tight Crew events there included Adventure Island and Under the Sea 2. Based on those awesome parties, it’s likely that Super Mario attendees will once again get to use the venue’s bumper cars, rides and arcade. There will be three different areas of lighting, deco and sounds. And as always, guests are encouraged to dress in costume/ Mario-esque gear.

Ladies and gentlemen, mark your calendars!
