Girle Action

Steve Aoki, who plays The Ritz in Ybor City, Florida on July 17, 2021.

Celebrity DJ, and heir to the Benihana restaurant fortune, Steve Aoki has been around since the ‘90s when he founded Dim Mak records and has since worked with everyone from the Backstreet Boys to Blink-182. Aoki got called out for maskless partying during his last Tampa Bay appearance at WTR’s Super Bowl party. Just be warned, if you’re up front you may be sprayed with champagne.

Steve Aoki w/Kyle Kinch. Saturday, July 17, 10 p.m. $50. The Ritz, Ybor City. sunsettampa.com
