MUMBAI: Platinum selling DJ, producer and multi hyphenate artist Dillon Francis has signed an historic nightclub residency deal with Boston-based entertainment conglomerate Big Night for a multi-date residency at their award-winning nightlife venues including Big Night Live, The Grand, Memoire, and Shrine. The agreement also comes in-tandem with planned record collaborations with Big Night Talent managed act ESCAPEPLAN, which is comprised of two members of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT family ETHan (#4321) and zeETH (#309).
