by Leave a Comment

The Weeknd’s Legend of the Fall World Tour is heading to Atlantic City on May 19 at Boardwalk Hall, and Premier Nightclub is the place to cap off the night.

Rapper, Belly, hosts the Legend of the Fall Official Tour Afterparty at Borgata’s nightlife venue. As the opening act for the Starboy, along with rapping duo Rae Sremmurd and 6lack, Belly is a force to be reckoned with in hip-hop. The Weeknd announced Phase 1 of the tour late last year and amplified the experience with the announcement of the three acts in February. South Jersey “Feels it Coming” soon, so it’s time to get a little knowledgeable on the night’s host.

Notable songs by Belly:

“Might Not” featuring the Weeknd.

“Conseula” featuring Young Thug & Zack

“You” featuring Kehlani

And his latest release, “Glorious”

Premier attendees should expect nothing short of a poppin’ party on Friday, as the weekend kicks off with DJ Jason Smith. It doesn’t stop there, as highly acclaimed DJ Laidback Luke makes an appearance on Saturday to continue the festivities.

Premier’s 1st Birthday Celebration

by Leave a Comment

In a short period of time, Premier Nightclub has made a lasting impression on Atlantic City by igniting a rebirth in the nightlife and entertainment scene. The $14 million club will cheers to its 1st birthday on Memorial Day weekend with a lineup of A-list deejays.

A night out is only as good as the service, entertainment, and people that accompany it. Premier has it all. Within the walls of the two-story venue, there’s an electric feeling of excitement that can only be compared to world-renowned hot spots in New York, Miami and Las Vegas. This is what a Premier ‘Night Out’ is all about – creating that feeling of limitless escape.

Since its opening last year, Premier has hosted hundreds of artists in the DJ booth, thousands of guests on dance floor, and countless memories between its staff and party-goers. Atlantic City’s Nightclub of the Year celebrates its 1st birthday this Memorial Day Weekend, May 26-29, 2017, and if the first twelve months are any indicator, the party will be one for the books!

Here are some of  Premier’s best moments:

Whether it was Tiësto coming to town, Diplo gracing the stage, or Lil Jon providing the shots for the crowd, Premier nights have proven to be ones to remember. Returning trio, Cash Cash, always gives AC something to talk about while Brooke Evers brought a little bit of sass to South Jersey. The club turns up all weekend long, including the exceptional Premier Monday nights that have given the beginning of the week the shot of Jamo it needs. Premier has presented megastar Steve Aoki, who never disappoints with his music and cake-throwing antics, along with Laidback Luke and his contagious energy.

There’s only one way to celebrate a year of epic performances and unforgettable moments – blow the candles out and make a wish with Premier Nightclub for its 1st Birthday all #MDW17 with Borgore, Afrojack, Fedde Le Grand, and Lil Jon.
