Hartbeat, the global media company creating entertainment at the intersection of comedy and culture, just announced the additions of Akon, Bryson Tiller, DJ Irie, and Saweetie as headlining performers for Hartbeat Weekend – the music and comedy celebration taking place Labor Day week at Resorts World in Las Vegas.
The newly added artists join an already stellar lineup featuring Kevin Hart, Lil Wayne, and Ludacris, with Akon and Bryson Tiller set to light up the stage poolside at AYU Dayclub, while Saweetie will electrify audiences Friday evening at Zouk Nightclub.
For a weekend filled with laughter, Hartbeat is excited to offer two complimentary comedy shows. On Friday, join us for LOL STAND-UP, a showcase of top comedians ranging from Hartbeat talent to local Vegas acts. Then, on Saturday, don’t miss Hot Mic, hosted by Comedian CP, featuring rapid-fire sets from both rising stars and big-league comedians like Yamaneika Saunders, Skillz Hudson, and Kendall Ward, recorded live for Kevin Hart’s LOL Radio, SiriusXM Channel 96.
Ahead of Hartbeat Weekend, Hartbeat will also be taking over Zouk Nightclub filming brand-new stand-up series, LOL Live. LOL Live will feature ten 30-minute, curated specials showcasing a diverse lineup of comedians, including Brandi Denise, Chico Bean, Chinedu Unaka, Daphnique Springs, Devon Walker, Justin Silva, Ken Flores, Lea’h Sampson, Malik B, and Sydnee Washington.
Hartbeat Weekend will also feature a series of live podcast tapings on Saturday, August 31, and Sunday, September 1. Highlights include the return of “Straight from the Hart” with the Plastic Cup Boyz (Joey Wells, Will ‘Spank’ Horton, Harry Ratchford, Wayne Brown, and Na’im Lynn) and the hit music podcast “One Song” with Diallo Riddle and Luxxury. Also joining this year’s podcast lineup are LOL! Radio’s latest additions, including “Petty Crimes” hosted by Griff Stark-Ennis and Ceara O’Sullivan, and “Off Topic with Yamaneika,” hosted by comedian Yamaneika Saunders with special guest George Wallace. All podcast tapings are free for attendees and will take place live from Hartbeat Lounge at Jalisco Underground inside Resorts World.
The beloved Gran Coramino Cup will be returning to the Eight Lounge in Resorts World. From Gran Coramino Tequila in partnership with Chilled Magazine, the one-of-a-kind bartender competition celebrates and shines a light on the hustlers of nightlife that often go under-appreciated.
