Recent EDC headliner David Guetta, a staple at Wynn Las Vegas’ XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club for more than 10 years, has taken his business across the street to Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
The Grammy-winning French DJ will perform a two-year residency at LIV Nightclub and LIV Beach, the venues founded by David Grutman and his Groot Hospitality, beginning in in 2025.
“David is a once-in-a-generation talent who embodies the charisma and class that defines the Fontainebleau brand,” Fontainebleau CEO and chair Jeffrey Soffer said in a press release.
As part of the deal, Guetta will also make occasional appearances at Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
This surprise and entirely unexplained move has no doubt incensed Wynn, which is actually in the process of suing the Strip’s newest resort for poaching its talent. And the Fontainebleau is rubbing salt in the wound, since company CEOs never get quoted in press releases about music bookings.
No announcements as of yet on dates, ticket info, or new lawsuits.
