Tiёsto in Concert - US Tour - 2005

[Dee Phunk]

World-renowned DJ, Tiёsto, and Angel LIVE, the touring division of Godskitchen, are expanding the Tiёsto In Concert extravaganza to the US market. Building on the landmark events Tiёsto headlined in 2005, including the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics in Athens, Tiësto`s Space Mountain: Mission 2 Concert at Disneyland Resort Paris and the Tiёsto In Concert shows in Holland, which drew 55,000 fans over two days, Tiёsto has set forth to bring the US the most extraordinary live experience.

Aiming for a tour that reaches far beyond the established DJ show, Tiёsto and Angel LIVE have created a sensory driving four-hour production. Tiёsto will be immersed in a massive half-million dollar set with production features such as the signature Tiёsto LED surrounded DJ booth, as well as a three story LED wall. In addition, visually stunning elements, such as a massive pyrotechnics and special effects show and more than a hundred lighting fixtures and lasers, accentuate the entire production.

Enhancing the intense visuals and adding an electric and magical atmosphere to the mix, the show will include more than thirty performances including aerial acts, Butoh dancers, Samba and Taiko drummers, flying Geishas, singers and Carnival showgirls. The performers will surround Tiёsto in two different acts, as part of the Around the World theme of this year's tour. Distinctive visual programming will take the audience on a dazzling trek that begins in America and traverses the globe, accented with live performance segments from South America, Asia and other countries.

Tiёsto and his management team from Holland and Brooks Pettus, executive producer through Angel LIVE, created the Tiёsto In Concert US Tour after working together on more than thirty shows over the last three years. “At the end of the day, this concept is as much magic and theatre as it is a performance by the most recognized DJ in the world. Tiёsto is about to break through to the mainstream and we know we have something amazing here…I stood in the arena in Holland with 27,000 other fans and saw how he moved the audience. I am sure that the Tiёsto In Concert Tour will reach well beyond the dance community to everyone who wants to be a part of a landmark event, and a show that is incredibly original and history in the making in the US,” says Pettus.

“The Tiёsto In Concert events in The Netherlands were among the greatest nights of my life and real milestones in my career,” concludes Tiёsto. “I’m really excited about the US shows…I’m sure that they’ll rock!” says Tiёsto.

The first of four events will be held at the LA Sports Arena, in Los Angeles, on August 20 and tickets go on sale June 10th. For full ticket details please go to www.tiestoinconcert.com.
