Atlantis is upping its game again.

Atlantis Paradise Island has announced two major live music events at Aura Nightclub this year, with performances from Nelly and Steve Aoki at the Bahamas resort’s flagship nightlife venue.

On Saturday, May 23, Grammy Award-winning artist Nelly will headline a Memorial Day Weekend performance at Aura Nightclub from 10 PM to 4 AM. The event is open to guests ages 18 and older.

Nelly, known for hits including “Hot in Herre,” “Ride Wit Me,” and “Dilemma,” previously performed at Atlantis during the resort’s New Year’s Eve celebrations in 2024.

Later this summer, internationally known DJ and producer Steve Aoki will return to Aura Nightclub on Friday, July 10, also from 10 PM to 4 AM. The 18-and-older performance marks another appearance for Aoki following previous sold-out events at Atlantis.

Aoki has become one of the most recognizable names in electronic music, known for high-energy live sets and festival performances around the world.

The events continue Atlantis Paradise Island’s ongoing lineup of entertainment programming, which has increasingly focused on large-scale concerts, nightlife events, and celebrity performances.

Aura Nightclub is Atlantis’ 9,000-square-foot nightlife venue, with VIP tables, a high-capacity dance floor, and a concert-focused sound and lighting system.

The resort has continued expanding its entertainment calendar in recent years with performances tied to holiday weekends, New Year’s Eve programming, and major tourism periods in The Bahamas.
