About Chai & Beats
What is Chai & Beats?
Chai & Beats is the world tour and live show series by O FRESH, an international DJ from New York City. It started with 12 people in a room in Brooklyn and has grown into sold-out shows across the US, UK, and Canada. It's built around community, live mashups, and a room where everybody dances.
Is there really chai?
Yes. Wherever we can, we partner with a local chai vendor in each city we visit, so every stop gets its own cup.
What kind of music do you play?
A bit of everything. Bollywood and Punjabi are home base, and you'll hear plenty of both, but every set moves through hip-hop, Afrobeats, house, dance, pop, and more. It's all mixed live and reimagined every show, so no two nights sound the same.
Who else is on the lineup?
Every show features local DJ support acts from the city we're in, and select shows add special guests and live performers. Lineups are announced on @chaiandbeats and @djofresh before each show.
Show Day
When are set times released?
Set times are posted the week of the show on @chaiandbeats and @djofresh. Doors and timing vary by city, so check the event page for yours. Our rooms tend to fill early, so we recommend getting there early.
What should I wear?
Whatever you feel good dancing in. You'll see everything from sneakers to full outfits. If a show has a theme, like Halloween, it will be on the event page.
How old do I need to be?
Most shows are 21+, and you'll need a valid government-issued photo ID. If a show has a different age policy, it will be listed on the event page.
Can I leave and come back?
Re-entry is set by each venue and isn't available everywhere. Check the event page or ask venue staff on the night.
Are there tables?
Many shows offer tables for groups. When they're available, they're listed on the ticket page, and they usually go first.
Will there be photos?
Yes. Every show is professionally photographed and filmed. Find your photos on our gallery page after the show.
Tickets
Where do I buy tickets?
Only through the official ticket links on djofresh.com and @chaiandbeats. We use a ticketing partner in each city, and we can't honor tickets bought from unofficial resellers.
Can I get a refund?
All ticket sales are final, except when a show is cancelled and not rescheduled, or where the ticketing platform's policy says otherwise. See our event terms for details. Can't make it? Most of our ticketing partners let you transfer your ticket to a friend from your confirmation email.
The show is sold out. Can I still get in?
Join the waitlist on the ticket page if there is one, and follow @chaiandbeats. Any extra tickets or door sales are announced there first.
