Hip-hop icon 50 Cent is bringing his catalog of chart-topping hits to Brooklyn this fall for what promises to be one of the biggest nightlife events of the season.
On Saturday, October 10, the Grammy Award-winning rapper will headline a one-night-only event at Pacha New York, the city's buzzy new nightclub, as part of a special collaboration with Mamacita, the global Latin urban party brand. The performance marks another major booking for Pacha's inaugural New York season, which has already attracted an eclectic mix of DJs and live performers to its sprawling Brooklyn dance floor.

If you've ever wanted to hear "In Da Club," "Candy Shop," "P.I.M.P.," "Many Men" and "21 Questions" in a packed club instead of through your headphones, this may be your chance. While organizers haven't revealed exactly what the night's performance will look like, fans can expect plenty of the songs that helped make 50 Cent one of the defining artists of the early 2000s—and one of hip-hop's most enduring stars.
The event is being presented by Mamacita, which has built an international following by blending reggaeton, hip-hop and Latin urban music into high-energy club nights. For 50 Cent, the brand has enlisted street artist TVBOY to create the event's visual identity.
The booking also shows Pacha New York's willingness to move beyond its electro roots. While the Ibiza-born nightlife brand has spent more than 50 years cultivating a reputation as one of dance music's most influential club names, the Brooklyn outpost has embraced a broader approach to programming.
For New Yorkers, it also offers a rare opportunity to catch 50 Cent in an intimate club setting rather than a massive arena or festival stage. As such, expect tickets to be in high demand for the one-night event, especially given Pacha's limited capacity. If you're hoping to relive the soundtrack of the 2000s—or just want an excuse to spend a Saturday night under Pacha's famous cherries—October 10 is shaping up to be a date worth circling.
Pacha New York is located at 140 Stewart Avenue in Brooklyn. Tickets to 50 Cent start at $80. For more information and to buy tickets, click here.
