Beatport Fridays at Marquee Dayclub

Beatport Fridays is the digital music platform's first-ever dedicated weekly Las Vegas residency — a 16-week series that runs every Friday from May 1 through September 4, 2026 at Marquee Dayclub in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The partnership between Beatport and Tao Group Hospitality places one of electronic music's most influential platforms directly inside one of the Strip's most prominent outdoor dayclub venues.

Marquee Dayclub is a 65,000-square-foot outdoor complex occupying multiple levels of The Cosmopolitan. The venue's main pool area surrounds a dedicated stage with a full production rig, making it one of the few Las Vegas dayclubs that can accommodate the stage production requirements of a weekly branded series. The bungalow terrace — Marquee Dayclub's signature outdoor feature — provides shaded seating and views of the main stage for guests who want the dayclub atmosphere without standing at the rail.

The Beatport Fridays lineup rotates across the 16-week run, following the Beatport platform's broader aesthetic: house, tech house, melodic house, and progressive house from artists with established Beatport chart presence alongside DJ competition winners earning their first headline slots. The launch weekend on May 1 coincides with the pre-EDC Week buildup, and the series runs through Labor Day weekend on September 4 — aligning its end with the close of Las Vegas's outdoor pool party season.

Confirmed performers for the 2026 series include Miss Monique (May 1–4, Cinco de Mayo launch weekend), Walker & Royce (May 15, EDC Week Friday), Lost Frequencies (June 5 and June 12), VNSSA B2B NALA (June 5), Coco & Breezy (June 19, Juneteenth Friday), Proppa (July 17), and CID (August 28). Beatport is also running a DJ competition program throughout the series, with emerging artists submitting mixes for the chance to open for headliner acts — a format that extends the series' community engagement beyond the headline bookings.

Beatport Fridays operates 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM every Friday, consistent with Marquee Dayclub's standard dayclub hours. Cover charges run $25–$60 for walk-up entry depending on headliner demand. The NoCoverVegas free guest list provides free or reduced entry on most Fridays — sign up in advance, as Beatport Fridays' EDC Week dates (May 15 and May 22) and high-demand bookings fill the guest list quickly.

Beyond the music programming, Beatport Fridays represents a strategic integration between the world's largest electronic music platform and Las Vegas's Pool Season calendar. Beatport's DJ competition program specifically targeted the series as a career-launch opportunity, with full DJ competition details and submission windows published on beatportal.com throughout the run. For dance music fans attending Las Vegas over the summer of 2026, Beatport Fridays adds a weekly anchor point to the dayclub calendar that sits between the major-headliner bookings at Encore Beach Club and OMNIA Dayclub in terms of both scale and underground credibility.
