“We are excited to welcome Gordo back to the Tao Group Hospitality family. As Carnage, he created many memorable experiences for our Las Vegas guests and we expect that to be amplified even more with his return to our venues as Gordo.” – James Algate, Senior Vice President – Entertainment & Brand Strategy, Tao Group Hospitality

The announcement marks the next step in GORDO’s global takeover, sparked by his neverending ability to raise the conceptual bar while keeping his roots close to his creative core. Sticking to the theme of going full circle, the past year has not only seen the Guatemalan-American hitmaker return to his sonic Latin roots with singles like “Hombres y Mujeres,” but bring the glory back to his native Central America, teaming up with Seeds of Learning to build new centers for youth in the region.

Always strides ahead of the curve, as demonstrated by his TARAKA shows, recent stops in South America, and Europe, and pending performances at both weekends of Coachella, GORDO’s summer residency with Tao Group Hospitality in Las Vegas is sure to set the agenda for the year in house music. Tickets are sure to sell out fast, so grab them as soon as they go on sale!

About GORDO

GORDO in Peru

“Over a decade ago Marquee believed in Carnage and gave me a shot on the strip, it’s a crazy honor to return as Gordo and have the opportunity to play across all of Tao Group’s incredible new properties…the best is yet to come.” – Diamante Anthony Blackmon (GORDO)

Diamante Anthony Blackmon has already helped to define a global musical movement. But now he’s doing it again: GORDO is a new house music alias from the artist previously known as Carnage. His quest for this new sound has led to releases such as ‘KTM,’ which became an instant Top 10 hit on the Beatport Main Chart, TARAKA, which was named after his own event series, the techno-infused speaker-rattling ‘Leaving Earth’ with KAS:ST, the widely acclaimed ‘RIZZLA,’ and house anthem ‘R U 4REAL.’

His release “Hombres y Mujeres” alongside Colombian superstar FEID and recent Latin America tour sees GORDO’s return to his Hispanic roots. The Nicaraguan-American DJ/producer honors his heritage beyond giving back with beats though, as he’s fully committed to helping build schools and education centers in Nicaragua as well as his birth country of Guatemala with the latest opening its doors in February 2023 in Guatemala’s Nuevo Eden.

Already having established his name among dance music enthusiasts, Diamanté solidified his name as GORDO as he broke ground with 6 production on Drake’s latest dance-infused album, ‘Honestly Nevermind,’ got crowned #1 producer on Billboard’s Hot 100 producers, and #1 Hispanic DJ by DJ Mag. From here it is all about making the music he wants to. No going back.
