Six years ago, Pretty Lights dimmed. Now, after his surreal comeback flipped the switch back on, he’s returning to Las Vegas for a pair of epic arena shows.
The influential electronic music producer stepped away from the industry and had remained out of the public eye since the summer of 2018, when he performed for a sold-out crowd at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. With five years of pent-up creativity, he emerged with a momentous tour, “Soundship Spacesystem,” and officially returned to the stage in August 2023.
Pretty Lights, whose real name is Derek Vincent Smith, has now announced a rare Vegas doubleheader as part of his “Soundship Spacesystem 2024 Check Your Vector Tour.” The concerts are scheduled for Halloween weekend, October 25-26.

The twin bill in the nation’s entertainment capital signals more than just another tour stop. For longtime fans, these shows offer a chance to reconnect with Smith’s signature sound. And for newer audiences, it’s an opportunity to experience firsthand an artist who helped shape the art of live electronic music performance.
Taking over the illustrious MGM Grand Garden Arena, Pretty Lights will command the same stage as The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and countless other music icons have in years past. The arena has also played host to a number of boxing’s most legendary fights, including the infamous 1997 championship bout in which Mike Tyson bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield’s ear.
