Kentucky Performing Arts and Transmit Productions will present Paul Oakenfold on Friday, October 25 at 9:00 p.m. at Old Forester's Paristown Hall. Tickets are available for purchase here.
Oakenfold is argued to be the first global superstar DJ for his spectacular contributions to our musical landscape.
Oakenfold's signature can be seen in everything from the early rise of hip-hop and the re-invention of British dance culture to the Balearic explosion and the birth of “Madchester”. He was awarded by the late Queen Elizabeth on behalf of the British Empire as a “Pioneer of the Nation” for his contributions to dance music.
