Pacha Macau hosts DJ Fatboy Slim on April 28

Going out in Macau used to be limited to local bars and clubs, many of which offered a great night on the town, but were not the most amenable places to host an event, particularly if it was associated with a conference. In the past 15 years, the development of a set of hotels across the city has changed all that. While the atmosphere of old Macau has been largely lost, a plus side of the arrival of hotels and cuisines was the uptick in venues.

From small bars to enormous clubs, Macau is quietly evolving into a nightlife destination to match cities around Asia, and with complementary venues to ensure daytime is covered as well.

When Pacha announced it was setting up in Macau, the excitement was palpable, and the city is showing it can compete among the region’s best, certainly with its ability to host top acts. “You’ve come a long way baby” is the name of Fatboy Slim’s seminal album, and it is appropriate here as the DJ and producer is playing at Pacha Macau on April 28.

Known for his energetic live show, Fatboy Slim is one of the masters of samples in electronic music, and with his knack for digging out diamonds in the rough, has created hit after hit.
