DJ CED's '90s and 2000s night lands at House of Blues on Jan. 16

CK Entertainment's throwback party brings DJ CED, DJ Tron, DJ Dynamite and Tony C to Barefoot Landing on a Saturday in January.

January on the Grand Strand is quiet season, which is exactly why a Saturday night built around the songs everyone half-remembers from middle school sounds like a good idea. House of Blues just put one on the calendar.

DJ CED headlines CK Entertainment's '90s and 2000s night at House of Blues in North Myrtle Beach on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2027, at 8 p.m. DJ Tron, DJ Dynamite and Tony C round out the bill. The date was announced Oct. 22, and tickets run $56.50 to $147.50 through Ticketmaster.

The concept is in the name. The listing bills it as CK Entertainment presenting the '90s and 2000s, and four DJs means a long night of handoffs rather than a single set. The price spread, from the mid-$50s up to nearly $150, suggests there are a few ways to do the night, so check what each tier gets you before you buy.

The room is a big part of the pitch. House of Blues opened in 1997 at Barefoot Landing, the shopping and entertainment complex along Highway 17 that took that name in 1988 after starting out in 1972 as the Village of the Barefoot Traders, according to the North Myrtle Beach history kept by the city's tourism office. By the time the House of Blues arrived, Barefoot Landing already had the Alabama Theatre, which opened there in 1993. The venue sits at 4640 Highway 17 South (House of Blues) and is operated by Live Nation, per Ticketmaster's venue guide.

Four DJs, one decade-and-a-half of throwbacks, and a Saturday in the off-season.

That history is part of why a throwback night fits here. Plenty of people on the Strand have been going to shows at this House of Blues for close to 30 years now, which means a good share of the crowd in January will have first heard a lot of this music during the years the building was new.

The bigger point is timing. Mid-January is when the beach towns go quiet and locals get their places back. A Saturday party on the calendar gives the month a destination, and with doors and dinner options right at Barefoot Landing, it's an easy night to plan around.

Tickets are on sale now. Pick your tier, find your old going-out shirt, and decide in advance which song you'll pretend you don't know all the words to.
