DJ Hardwell headlines UBS Arena's first EDM show

Elmont is getting ready to dance as Dutch DJ Hardwell headlines UBS Arena at Belmont Park with his “Rebels Never Die Tour” on Sept. 17. This marks the venue’s first EDM event.

“I am back. And now I’m gonna show you who I truly am,” announced Hardwell aka Robbert van de Corput, 34, via social media. This tour is Hardwell’s return to the music scene since announcing his retirement in 2018. 

After wielding a decade of hits (“Spaceman,” “Apollo”), Hardwell performed a special guest set closing out Ultra Music Festival in Miami on Sunday. He also announced a new album, “Rebels Never Die,” featuring the songs "Broken Mirror” and “Into the Unknown,” coinciding with his tour.

Tickets for Hardwell’s show go on sale to the general public on Tuesday at 10 a.m. via ticketmaster.com. However, a presale begins Monday at 10 a.m. and runs through Tuesday at 10 a.m. using the code: NYHARDWELL. Concertgoers must be 18 or older to attend.
