SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKING (2010-2015 Pop & EDM All Night Long!)
SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKING is a late-night, high-energy dance party dedicated to the pop and EDM hits that dominated the decade from 2010 to 2015. Billed as a throwback to a simpler party era, the night promises a nonstop playlist of iconic club bangers and fist-pumping anthems, encouraging attendees to relive the feeling of being at a party in 2012. The event leans heavily on good vibes and a Y2K-inspired "swag" aesthetic, making it as much a nostalgic fashion statement as a musical one. It's a tribute dance night, not a live concert, so the featured artists will not appear; the focus is purely on the music, the crowd, and the all-night-long party atmosphere.
The DJ-spun soundtrack spans the biggest crossover names of the era, including KE$HA, David Guetta, Rihanna, Avicii, Nicki Minaj, Akon, Icona Pop, Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Pitbull, Calvin Harris, ZEDD, Swedish House Mafia, Katy Perry, T-Pain, Lil Jon, Jason Derulo, DJ Snake, Selena Gomez, Afrojack, Kid Cudi, A-Trak, Drake, Beyoncé, Dillon Francis, Soulja Boy, Miley Cyrus, and Steve Aoki, among many others. An official Spotify playlist is available to set the mood in advance, and guests are encouraged to follow the event's Instagram account for updates, pictures, and song requests.
