ATLANTIC CITY — ACX1 Studios will hold its official Music Division launch on Sunday, May 26, 2024, as a day-long entertainment event and introduce the industry to its new radio station Splash 98.5.
Rob Schwartz, co-founder and Chief Music Officer of ACX1 Studios, said the launch will be a free celebration with live artists and DJs from various genres in addition to comedians. “The purpose is bringing the music industry to Atlantic City,” said Schwartz.
A new ownership group reopened the former The Pier at Caesars/The Playground Mall Thursday, on Sept. 14, 2023, as ACX1 Studios.

The space will cater to the music and movie industries as well as offer event rental space, Schwartz has said. The building utilizes a unique concept that includes a mix of retail, restaurants, entertainment, and educational space.
On Saturday, ACX1 Studios is hosting the Jus Nice Sneaker Convention and its Fresh Gala Sneaker Ball on Saturday night. For more information click here.

The concert stage and DJ area will be set up near the front of the former mall. Schwartz said the event would not be possible without the help of an amazing list of sponsors including the Mechanical Licensing Collective, The Simpson Restaurant which will open in the ACX1 Studios property later this summer and a host of others.

“You can hear it from the Boardwalk, and you can see it from the Boardwalk,” Schwartz said of Sunday's music launch event. “There were 750,000 people in Atlantic City last year. We wanted to capitalize on that.”
