DJ/producer and dance music icon, Tiësto, whisks viewers to the Dominican Republic through the release of his new music video for 'Summer Nights' featuring Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, John Legend - available to watch now.

The fun, freeing energy of a summer night takes center stage as the video explores the rich culture, exciting nightlife and beautiful city streets of Santo Domingo. People dance in jubilation, their hands raised to the heavens, as kids run through the streets and others whiz along on motorbikes. It strikes a beautiful portraiture of the local island community, with Legend overlooking the festivities as he sings along.

'Summer Nights' represents the first time Tiësto and John Legend have teamed up since the release of the Grammy award-winning hit remix, 'All Of Me,' in 2014. Together, the duo worked to create a track that stays true to John's sensibilities as a live performer but that also incorporates the undeniable dance music energy that Tiësto is known for. The result is an irresistible summer jam that has been called a "summer sizzler" by Entertainment Weekly, a "breezy new summer jam" by Billboard, and "replay worth-intoxication" by BET.

The track is currently available now on Spotify, iTunes and across streaming platforms.
