Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike at Hakkasan There are a few things you might not know about the Greek/Belgian EDM duo.

Two: They’re brothers. Three: They’ve got an album in the works, due out later this year. Maybe they’ll give you a taste of it during their Hakkasan debut. April 9, doors at 10 p.m., $30+ men, $20+ women.

Kristian Nairn DJ set at Ghostbar Hodor, a DJ? Pretty ridiculous, right? No more so than Chumlee getting behind the DJ booth a few weeks back—or Game of Thrones in general, frankly. But the towering actor has been DJing enough to tour—one called the Rave of Thrones, which includes this Vegas date—and according to his Soundcloud page, dude forgoes the usual big-room dance pop for house music. To which Ghostbar will hopefully be receptive. April 11, doors at 8 p.m., $25+ men, $20+ women.
