British producer, DJ and trance master Paul Oakenfold will help the Garden celebrate its second anniversary next month.
He'll bring his "We Are Planet Perfecto" tour to the Union Plaza restaurant and club at 9 p.m. Oct. 21.
Tickets are $35 in advance, $40 at the door, on sale at Ticketbully, Hommework and the Garden.
It's a 21 and over show.
The tour comes as Oakenfold, one of the first electronic dance music artists to break through big, is putting the finishing touches on a new album, "Pop Killer," due early next year. It features guest appearances by Cee-Lo, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Matt Goss.
He's also winding down his three-year "Perfecto Vegas" residency at Sin City's Rain Nightclub. His last performances there will be Oct. 8 and New Year's Eve.
Oakenfold's website lists a performance time of 11:40 p.m. at the Garden, 511 Western.
