Earlier this year, Riot Hospitality Group, which is headquartered in Scottsdale and known for Cake Nightclub, Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, The Clubhouse at Maya, The District, Hand Cut Chophouse, Farm & Craft, El Hefe, and Riot House, quietly launched a community relations arm—Riot Gives Back.
This fall, they are quiet no more.
On Dec. 2, they—along with partner 345 Wealth Management—will host Rock the Rooftop under the stars on the WET Deck at the W Scottsdale. The concert will light up the night with an intimate-yet-explosive performance by Bailey Zimmerman, who recently made history on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart by becoming the first artist to place three career-opening entries in the Top 10 simultaneously. Zimmerman’s style, a mash-up of timeless American country, rafter-rattling arena rock, and authentic storytelling, has earned him more than 400 million global streams in the past few years alone.
Zimmerman will be joined by Nate Smith, recently named to the Country Now Artists to Watch list after exploding onto the scene with Wildfire, which went viral with more than three million views on TikTok.
Rounding out the evening with a late-night performance is Loud Luxury, a Canadian EDM duo comprised of Andrew Fedyk and Joe Depace that is setting charts across the globe on fire with electronic music anthems. The duo’s most popular Body is certified Diamond in Canada, multiplatinum in Australia, Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S., and platinum in the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden, and their recent follow-up song, Love No More, has more than 150 million streams on Spotify.
Proceeds from the concert benefit Riot Gives Back’s mission to support first responders, military members and their families, and children, as well as Make-A-Wish Arizona, which grants life-changing wishes for Arizona children with critical illnesses.
Tickets start at $75 at RockTheRooftopFest.com.
