Norwalk, Conn.—Global music stars Snoop Dogg and Jason Derulo will headline JCK Rocks.

Hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg will kick off the show with a DJ set followed by a performance by superstar Jason Derulo. 

Derulo is known for his chart-topping hits, like “Whatcha Say” and “Wiggle” [feat. Snoop Dogg], that blend pop, R&B, and dance music.

The annual event will take place at Tao Beach on Sunday, June 8 at 9 p.m. at Tao Nightclub within the Venetian.

Snoop Dogg’s latest jewelry venture, the “Lovechild” collection, made in partnership with jewelry brand Metal Alchemist and artist-focused multimedia platform Gamma, will be displayed on the JCK show floor in the Currents Neighborhood.

"Each year, JCK continues to redefine the experience that serves as the industry’s celebration of the business done and the incredible community that JCK serves. This year is certainly no exception,” said Sarin Bachmann, senior vice president for RX’s jewelry portfolio of events.

“We are excited to raise the bar once again at JCK Rocks featuring two of the biggest names in music, while highlighting such an integral collaboration with our headline sponsor Lovechild by Metal Alchemist and Gamma with Snoop Dogg.”

The concert will follow Jewelers for Children’s “Facets” fundraising event, which will take place in the San Polo Ballroom on Level 3 of the Venetian at 6:30 p.m.

Facets attendees will gain VIP entrance into JCK Rocks and be led via procession from the San Polo Ballroom to TAO Beach.

Tickets to Facets are available here.

A JCK or Luxury show badge is required for entry to the concert.

JCK Rocks is open to all JCK attendees and exhibitors who are at least 21 years old. Registration is open now.
