Memorial Day Weekend 2012 is nearly upon us and that means a ton of parties are just around the corner. Even though 110-plus afternoons also come with the territory in Arizona, that doesn’t mean we don’t know how to have a good time in the valley. Relentless Beats has the full rundown of Memorial Day Weekend events specifically for dance music enthusiasts.

This Friday, the weekend kicks off with Lazy Rich at Wild Knight for Sound Kitchen. The valley’s premiere event, however, is Relentless Beats’ own Memorial Day Weekend Grand Opening at Monarch Theatre with Nadia Ali. Relentless Beats kicks off its new night at the venue with a live performance by the renowned singer. For any and all dance music lovers in the Valley this weekend, Nadia Ali will be a can’t-miss performance.

For those already planning to travel to Vegas, the hotels, nightclubs, and pool parties are scheduled heavily enough to completely saturate the weekend with dance music. Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub, LAVO, and TAO  each different events with Benny Bennasi, Fedde le Grand, Cosmic Gate, Kaskade, Above & Beyond, Chuckie, Armin van Buuren, EC Twins, Paul van Dyk and more from Friday to Sunday.
