FYE Ultraclub Presents: The Concert Afterparty featuring DJ Pee Wee (aka Anderson .Paak)

When Anderson .Paak steps behind the decks as DJ Pee Wee, the vibe shifts from arena-sized spectacle to the kind of sweaty, soulful, crate-digging party you wish you’d been invited to. On May 23, 2026, the multi-Grammy winner is trading his drum kit for a mixer, bringing his infectious energy to FYE Ultraclub for an afterparty that is set to redefine the city’s late-night landscape. If you’ve seen .Paak live, you know he’s a force of nature; as Pee Wee, he leans into his deep love for funk, disco, and rare hip-hop grooves, curating a set that feels less like a performance and more like a masterclass in rhythm.

The Venue: A Spectacle at Exhibition Place

Located at 15 Saskatchewan Road, FYE Ultraclub has carved out a niche as Canada’s self-proclaimed first “ultraclub.” This isn’t your typical dark basement dance floor. Situated within the historic Exhibition Place grounds—a neighbourhood that bridges the gap between the lakefront and the bustling Liberty Village—the venue is designed for sensory overload. Expect high-concept production values that go well beyond a standard light show. We’re talking aerialists suspended above the crowd, burlesque-inspired choreography, and a level of hospitality that aims to make every guest feel like a headliner. It’s a venue that demands a certain level of commitment to the aesthetic, which is exactly why the “High Fashion After Hours” dress code is strictly enforced.

Why DJ Pee Wee is the Ultimate Curator

Anderson .Paak’s discography—from the breakout success of *Malibu* to the glossy, retro-funk perfection of Silk Sonic—proves he has an impeccable ear for melody and groove. As DJ Pee Wee, he strips away the polished production of his studio albums to focus on the raw, kinetic energy of the dance floor. He’s known for his vinyl-only approach and an unpredictable track selection that can jump from deep-cut 70s soul to modern-day bangers in a heartbeat. Watching him work is a reminder that at his core, .Paak is a musician’s musician. He doesn’t just play tracks; he curates a mood that is designed to keep you moving until the lights come up.

Getting There and Making the Night

Since the event is located at Exhibition Place, you’re perfectly positioned for a night out that starts in Liberty Village. Grab a pre-party cocktail at one of the trendy spots along Liberty Street before heading over. Getting there is straightforward: the Exhibition GO station is a short walk away, and the 509 Harbourfront or 511 Bathurst streetcars drop you right at the Exhibition loop.

Good to Know

• **Dress Code:** This is not a drill. The “High Fashion After Hours” policy is serious. Leave the sneakers, athletic wear, and baseball hats at home. Think sharp, elevated, and intentional. If you show up in a hoodie, you’re likely getting turned away at the door.
• **Age Restrictions:** This is a 21+ event, but note that men must be 22+ to enter. Bring your government-issued ID.
• **VIP Service:** If you’re rolling with a group and want to avoid the crush of the main floor, call (416) 595-5554 to inquire about table service. It’s the best way to experience the venue’s high-end hospitality.
• **Timing:** Doors open at 10:00 PM, but given the calibre of the artist, expect the room to fill up quickly. Arrive early to secure your spot on the floor before the music hits its peak.
