FOUNDATION NIGHTCLUB FEATURING BENNY BENASSI 

Benny Benassi will play a set early at Resolution and will spend the rest of the night at Foundation. He is a world renowned DJ, spinning a blend of house and electro for very danceable music. You may have heard one of his hits, “Satisfaction“. Benny Benassi is great live, but Foundation gets very crowded fast. Then again, everything will be maxed out for New Years. It’s usually a fun, young crowd at Foundation. Event starts at 10:00 pm and goes until 2:00 am.

Tickets: $55 (not including fees)
