Dearest Dynagroovers,
I do realise that many of you are mostly ONLY into House Music, however this
show is really going to be something that has never been done before in the
Electronic Music Market (well, in North America anyway).
Godskitchen is doing a 4-city tour with Tiesto this summer. The LA Date is
August 20, 2005 and will be held at the LA Sports Arena. The show is similar
to the Tiesto In Concert Tour he did last year in Europe. Difference is, this
show will be even more visually spectacular. HUGE production value and TONS of
performers. Think of it as a bit of a dance music festival, carnival in Rio, a
Cirque De Soliel preformance and a theater production all rolled into one.
Below is the complete press release with all the info. Check out the website
for more info - www.TiestoInConcert.com
...and as always, feel free to email me with any questions.
Thanks,
Pat SchooLastra
Marketing & Promotions Manager

Los Angeles, CA: World-renowned DJ, TiÑsto, and Angel LIVE, (the touring
division of Godskitchen), are expanding the TiÑsto In Concert extravaganza to
the US market. Building on the landmark events TiÑsto 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 TiÑsto In
Concert shows in Holland, which drew 55,000 fans over two days, TiÑsto has
set forth to bring the US the most extraordinary live experience.
Aiming for a tour that reaches far beyond the established DJ show, TiÑsto and
Angel LIVE have created a sensory driving four-hour production. TiÑsto will
be immersed in a massive half-million dollar set, designed by Bruce Rodgers of
Tribe Design and lit by Stanley Crocker of the Department of Light and Shadow.
The production features the signature TiÑsto 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 & Taiko drummers, flying Geishas, singers and
Carnival showgirls. The performers will surround TiÑsto 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.
TiÑsto, along with his management team from Holland and Brooks Pettus,
executive producer through Angel LIVE, created the TiÑsto In Concert US Tour
after working together on more than thirty shows over the last three years.
âAt 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. TiÑsto is about to break
through to the mainstream and we know we have something amazing hereâ¦I stood
in the arena in Holland with 27,000 other fans and saw how he moved the
audience. I am sure that the TiÑsto 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,â
says Pettus.
Other key players in the TiÑsto In Concert US Tour 2005 are: Set design by
Bruce Rodgers from Tribe Design (Madonna Drowned World Tour, Fleetwood Mac,
Sting, Dave Matthews Band); lighting design by Stanley Crocker from Department
of Light and Shadow; script, performance design and execution by Party
Productions NYC and visuals by Stoptime341 Productions.
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 14. Ticket prices for the August 20
show are $37.50 for upper level seated; $47.50 for lower level seated; $67.50
for floor general admission, which includes a free TiÑsto In Concert tour
t-shirt and $200 for the VIP package. The VIP package includes side stage
standing general admission, access to a backstage lounge, a hosted bar and a
TiÑsto In Concert t-shirt. Tickets can be purchased at TicketMaster or the
TiÑsto In Concert website, www.TiÑstoinconcert.com
<http://www.tiestoinconcert.com/> To ring in 2006, TiÑsto will headline a
special New Yearâs Eve event at a currently undisclosed location.
TiÑsto, the first and only DJ to be voted the #1 DJ in the world by DJ
Magazine (DJ Magazineâs Top 100), three years in a row (2002, 2003, 2004),
is clearly an international superstar. He has won 3 TMF-Awards (Holland &
Belgium), 4 Dutch TMF-Awards and 1 MTV Europe Award. TiÑsto is currently on
the road in support of his latest release In Search of Sunrise 4.
âThe TiÑsto In Concert events in The Netherlands were among the greatest
nights of my life and real milestones in my career,â concludes TiÑsto.
âIâm really excited about the US showsâ¦Iâm sure that theyâll
rock!â
