The wounds of the Vegas shooting are still fresh.
In the wake of the horrific tragedy, which left 59 dead and over 500 injured, people are rallying together in support of those affected.
Las Vegas, known for its unparalleled vibrant nightlife, has become a hub for electronic music. Major nightclubs and venues are now centered around electronic music acts, with many artists having residencies at clubs.
With a growing culture comes a sense of community, and it’s great to see people giving back to Vegas. Big names like Diplo, Steve Aoki, Tiesto, and The Chainsmokers, among others, have donated sizable sums to victims of the shooting. What’s more, many of them have been challenging fellow artists to do the same.
