WWE® (NYSE: WWE) today announced that producer and DJ Valentino
Khan will perform at WWE’s biggest event of 2021, SummerSlam. Khan
will welcome fans with the hottest hits in music as they arrive at
Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. SummerSlam will take place this
Saturday, August 21, marking the first time the annual event has
been held at an NFL stadium.
“Being part of a WWE event is a childhood dream come true for
me. From growing up in the ‘Attitude Era’ till now, I’ve been a fan
all my life and truly have respect for the business. The fact that
I get to connect with the WWE universe through my own music is an
incredible full circle moment. I can’t wait to go hard at
SummerSlam in Vegas,” said Valentino Khan.
“We strive to create a vibrant atmosphere at all WWE events and
music plays a very important role whether it be at live events or
throughout WWE programming. We’re looking forward to having
Valentino Khan kick off the festivities at SummerSlam this
Saturday,” Neil Lawi, Senior Vice President and General Manager,
WWE Music Group.
Khan is a Los Angeles-based DJ, producer and artist whose music
truly knows no bounds. His versatility and lethal ear for good
music has granted him production credits for the likes of Lil Pump,
French Montana, 2 Chainz, T.I, and Dizzee Rascal. From making music
with Grammy-winning artists Major Lazer, Skrillex, Diplo, Bruno
Mars & Tyga, to performing on some music’s biggest stages such
as EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, and Ultra Music Festival, Valentino
Khan is excited to check one stage off his bucket list this
Saturday at WWE’s SummerSlam. A heavyweight in his own right, Khan
continues to break barriers with original tracks, production
credentials, and incredible live sets.
SummerSlam will stream live at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT exclusively on

else.
