Announcing the inaugural Club Cirque Festival in Tampa!
Come run away to join the circus Saturday, October 19th as Disco Donnie Presents and Sunset Events embark on a brand new festival experience. Club Cirque is a one-of-a-kind event taking over the South Lot at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Nightlife and circus come together for the perfect fusion of art and music.
Join us under the big top for an event you will not forget. For the inaugural event, there will be two separate UV decorative tents pumping bass and house music all night. They will be joined by four covered pathways so you don’t have to worry about weather. With tons of performers similar to the most notorious Cirque in the world, expect to see acrobats, contortionists, sword swallowers and so much more.
Check back for updates in the coming weeks as we announce the world-renowned talent that will soundtrack the evening on our enormous stages. Come run away with Club Cirque.
Tickets go on sale Friday, August 16th at 10:00 AM ET.

Sun City Music Festival Weekend Warriors: Alesso, Steve Aoki, Markus Schulz
It’s Friday and you know what that means. One week down, and three to go until Sun City Music Festival. Don’t have your tickets yet? Buy your tickets online today!
For this edition of our Sun City Music Festival Weekend Warriors, we were inspired by recent events. Everyone wants to go to Tomorrowland. Everyone. Their motto says, “Yesterday is history. Today is a gift. Tomorrow is a mystery.” So since we were given today, let’s have a little dance now, shall we?
Although some of us couldn’t make it to the rolling hills of Boom, Belgium, we can imagine we were there with three uploaded Tomorrowland sets from our talented Sun City roaster. Feel the energy and vibes as each mix is bound to get you moving. All the more ways to get ready for highly-anticipated event!
Alesso – Live at Tomorrowland
We love Alesso‘s Tomorrowland set because it starts with crazy energy and maintains it all the way through. Featuring some of his biggest hits and some recent favorites, get ready dizzying wind-ups, emotive strings, and a rocking good time.

Steve Aoki – Live at Tomorrowland
Even though we aren’t able to see the craziness that’s going on on-stage, we can hear the craziness happening behind the decks for Steve Aoki‘s Tomorrowland set. The tracklist is amazingly diverse and should be commended. Spanning over almost every single genre, the mix features artists like Chris Lake, Lil Jon, W&W, Flux Pavilion and Carnage. Now, how is that for eclectic? We’re really digging the mashup of “Warp 1.9” with Prodigy and the double bass kick on “Get Me Out of Here” is in-your-face and fist pump worthy.

Markus Schulz – Live at Tomorrowland
Sun City talent Markus Schulz had the pleasure of hosting his own stage at the mega festival, but also had the challenge of performing a 12 hour open-to-close solo set. On his current Global DJ Broadcast, he shortened the mix down to two hours featuring the highlights of the set. We love that Markus dug out the older, classic tracks towards the end because he very rarely gets to play them out. WARNING: Dead unicorns everywhere.
