The night closed out with headliner, quadruple-platinum selling progressive house DJ and producer, Calvin Harris playing a mashup of, “You Used to Hold Me” and “Quasar” on the Waikiki Beach stage to thousands of fans.

“We had record attendance today for the third Sound Wave and I couldn’t be happier,” said Steve LeVine, SLE’s Chief Entertainment Officer. “Being able to put on a fun, safe, music festival for electronic dance music fans in Arizona has always been my vision for this event. It’s a great experience to be able to share this passion with my entire team as well as my partner Disco Donnie Presents. I am proud of what this event has become and look forward to riding the wave again soon.”

A portion of the proceeds for the event will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona, which helps Arizona Youth realize their full potential in life by carefully matching them with adults who can become friends and mentors.
