The NEON FUTURE EXPERIENCE will feature a brand new custom stage set & visuals by V Squared Labs, whose works have been featured on the main stages of Electric Daisy Carnival and Ultra Music Festival. This new NEON FUTURE design combines custom built LED cubes with mirrored panels to create a new visual experience, giving fans the illusion of both depth and clarity never before seen in stage production.
One dollar ($1) of each ticket sold for the STEVE AOKI NEON FUTURE EXPERIENCE shows will go towards the Steve Aoki Charitable Fund.
