Anjunabeats leaders Above & Beyond have made a habit of conjuring something rather special for the EDC Las Vegas edition of their “Push the Button” moments, when they stop the music and allow a member of the audience to do exactly that. Last year, actor Bryan Cranston himself was brought onstage to push the button during “Walter White,” though this year it was a more sentimental affair.
“Normally we don’t plan Push the Button in advance, as the spontaneity element is a big part of what makes it exciting,” A&B announced following Saturday night’s performance, confirming they’d been encouraged to make an exception after receiving a special message from a fan.
“I am currently going to attend EDC Las Vegas with my brother and grandparents, and I’ll keep this short and sweet,” fan Anthony Vagenas said in the lead-up to the show. “My grandmother turns 75 years old Friday, June 17, and my grandpa will be 84 years old during the time as well. I’m trying to give them the best experience that they can have while they are there at EDC, and would love for my grandparents to push the button. We have to keep the EDM scene going for as long as we can and this would really help to prove that the age difference has no affect in a place like EDC, and everyone loves everyone.”
The resulting “Push the Button” was a special one that brought the generations together. Watch it below to relive the moment.
