Norwalk, Conn.—JCK Las Vegas attendees should pack their Apple Bottom Jeans for this year’s JCK Rocks event.

Hip-hop artist Flo Rida will be the event’s headlining entertainment, JCK announced Tuesday.

The Grammy-nominated artist is best known for his hits, “Low [Apple Bottom Jeans]," "My House," and "Club Can’t Handle Me."

“His electrifying energy is set to create an unforgettable experience for attendees,” said organizers.

The annual event will take place at Tao Beach on Sunday, June 2 at 9 p.m. at Tao Nightclub within the Venetian.

"We are very excited to bring JCK Rocks back to the beach at Tao and with such an exciting headliner.

This year’s JCK Rocks will bring us all back to the JCK concert event we all know and love and will be talking about for years to come,” said Sarin Bachmann, group vice president for the RX jewelry portfolio and event leader for JCK.

“JCK Rocks continues to be an anticipated, not-to-be-missed event where the industry comes together to celebrate the success, hard work and connections made during JCK. It’s going down for real!"

The event will follow Jewelers for Children’s “Facets of Hope” event, which will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Venetian’s San Polo Ballroom.

Those attending the JFC event will have a “surprise experience” guiding them from that event’s ballroom to Tao Beach.

All JCK badge holders are invited to attend JCK Rocks until the venue reaches capacity.

Tao Nightclub will have expanded capacity and feature a live stream of the Tao Beach performance.
