Major Lazer

Major Lazer is an electronic music supergroup founded by Diplo (Thomas Pentz) in 2009, with current members Diplo, Walshy Fire (Jeremy Reid), and Ape Drums (Joaquim Dos Santos). Their sound sits at the crossroads of Jamaican dancehall, Afrobeats, reggae, and electronic dance music — a hybrid built to work across both festival mainstages and nightclub dancefloors. Their debut mixtape 'Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do' (2009) established their dancehall-EDM fusion identity, followed by studio albums 'Free the Universe' (2013), 'Peace is the Mission' (2015), and 'Music is the Weapon' (2020), each demonstrating an evolving facility with global bass music production that few acts in electronic music have replicated. Their 2015 collaboration 'Lean On' — made with Danish singer MØ and DJ Snake — became one of the most streamed songs in Spotify history at the time of its release, topping charts across 37 countries and accumulating over two billion streams, a commercial milestone that expanded their audience beyond the dance music community into mainstream pop. 'Cold Water' (2016) featuring Justin Bieber and MØ continued that trajectory, earning multi-platinum certifications across multiple markets. 'Run the World' (2020) with Beyoncé highlighted their ability to work with pop music's highest-tier collaborators. Their Las Vegas presence at Encore Beach Club and XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas positions them within the Strip's most premium outdoor and nightclub venues. Confirmed 2026 Las Vegas bookings include Encore Beach Club on June 13, 2026, where their dancehall-to-EDM set range translates naturally to the dayclub-to-nightclub transition crowd. The group's live performance reputation — built across Coachella, Ultra Music Festival, and Glastonbury mainstage appearances — brings a festival-scale energy to the intimate club environment.
