Calvin Harris

Scottish DJ, singer, songwriter, and record producer born Adam Richard Wiles in Dumfries. One of the world's highest-paid DJs for over a decade, he has produced chart-topping collaborations with Rihanna (We Found Love), Dua Lipa (One Kiss), Ellie Goulding (I Need Your Love), and Florence Welch. His 2017 Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 and 2022 follow-up Vol. 2 marked a sustained pivot toward funk and R&B-inflected house. His history with Wynn Las Vegas dates to 2011, when he launched his very first Las Vegas residency at the property — making his 2026 return a homecoming more than 15 years in the making. In late 2025, Harris signed an exclusive two-year deal with Wynn Nightlife committing to XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club as his only Las Vegas performance venues through 2027. Confirmed 2026 dates: XS Nightclub on January 16, February 13, and February 21; Encore Beach Club on May 2, May 16 (EDC Week Saturday), and May 23 (Memorial Day Weekend Saturday), with additional summer dates to be announced. Ryan Jones, VP of Wynn Nightlife, described the deal: 'Calvin Harris is a legend whose influence on music and nightlife is undeniable — this residency reflects Wynn Nightlife's dedication to curating unforgettable experiences.'

Adam Richard Wiles — performing as Calvin Harris — became the world's highest-paid DJ for seven consecutive years (Forbes 2012–2018) and is one of the few artists to score 18 UK Top 10 singles in consecutive years. Production collaborations include Rihanna (We Found Love), Dua Lipa (One Kiss), Ellie Goulding (I Need Your Love), and Florence Welch. His 2026 return to Wynn Las Vegas is a homecoming to the venue where he launched his first US residency in 2011.

Calvin Harris currently performs at XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas, typically on Fridays and Saturdays; XS (Jan–Feb), EBC (May+). Their sets span EDM / House, delivering a sound that has earned them one of the most dedicated followings in the Las Vegas residency circuit.

Harris launched his first Las Vegas residency at Wynn in 2011 — one of the earliest major EDM residencies in the market, predating the explosion of Strip electronic music residencies by eighteen months. His 2026 return under an exclusive two-year Wynn Nightlife agreement (XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club only, through 2027) formalizes what was effectively always a primary Las Vegas home into a contractual commitment. No other Las Vegas venue can book Calvin Harris during the term of this agreement — any Harris show on the Strip in 2026 or 2027 is exclusively at Wynn.

XS Nightclub at Encore provides the indoor winter and spring setting. The 40,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor venue — outdoor saltwater pool, champagne-gold surfaces, 10,000 custom lights — delivers a production environment calibrated for his pop-optimized house sets at peak-club scale. His January 2026 dates at XS coincide with CES Week, when Las Vegas fills with the tech-industry demographic that adds to XS's already diverse crowd. February 13 and February 21 land near Valentine's Day weekend, a premium booking period at which Harris dates are among the most in-demand of the winter residency season.

Encore Beach Club hosts the outdoor spring and summer dates. His EDC Week Saturday on May 16 and Memorial Day Weekend Saturday on May 23 are the two most sought-after nights of his entire Las Vegas season — festival-week and holiday-weekend bookings that draw the largest and most anticipatory audiences of the annual calendar. EBC pool parties open at 11 AM; Harris typically performs in the early-to-mid afternoon when Las Vegas heat and crowd energy are at their combined peak. The outdoor pool deck format at EBC is the setting closest to Harris's festival-main-stage context, and his sets there reflect that audience expectation.

Arriving early matters at both venues. For XS winter nights, guest list entry is guaranteed until approximately 12:30 AM, but arriving before 11:30 PM secures the best floor positions. For EBC pool parties, doors open at 11 AM and general admission areas fill steadily through the morning. Harris sets at EBC draw crowds that arrive specifically for him rather than for the pool experience more broadly, which means the venue's capacity absorbs faster than on resident-DJ or off-peak dates. Guest list registration through NoCoverVegas for EDC Week and Memorial Day dates should be completed as early as possible; these are the highest-demand slots in the Las Vegas guest list calendar, period.

Calvin Harris's sound: Pop-crossover house from the craftsman behind 18 consecutive UK Top 10 singles — Harris's XS sets blend the danceable precision of his Funk Wav productions with the electronic anthems that defined the 2010s festival era, delivered with production polish built for stadium-scale clarity. At XS Nightclub, the professional sound systems and production infrastructure amplify every element of their performance — from the sub-bass to the high-end clarity.

As a headliner, Calvin Harris commands the prime time slot — typically starting between 12:30 AM and 1:30 AM at nightclubs, or between 1:30 PM and 3:00 PM at pool parties. Headliner sets run 90 minutes to two hours and feature the full production package including pyrotechnics, CO2 cannons, and synchronized lighting.
