Tiësto adds Sneaky Sound System to the stellar support for his Victoria Park open-air event.

As if it wasn’t enough that the one-man DJ phenomenon Tiësto was holding his very own open-air event in the beautiful environs of Victoria Park this summer, as if it wasn’t enough that this is one of the only events of its kind, as if wasn’t enough that he’s roped in electro pop chart-topper Calvin Harris to be his main support at the show – but now, Tiësto has added on the Antipodean juggernauts of electro-soul-funk that is Sneaky Sound System onto the bill as well.

And a more worthy addition to the bill cannot be imagined. The Sydney trio of Miss Connie, Black Angus and MC Double D make deliciously addictive electro-pop, with their roots in their hugely successful club nights “Sneaky Sundays” which included DJ sets from the glittery likes of Tiga, LCD Soundsystem and Hot Chip. In Australia Sneaky Sound System are bona fide pop stars, with their debut album “2″ rocketing to the top of the album charts, spawning massively successful hit singles like “I Love It” which are ubiquitous as they are catchy. They’ve also been rained with accolades, including four ARIAS (the Australian equivalent of the Brits) and an Independent Spirit Award at the 2009 MTV Awards Australia.

And if that wasn’t enough, the members themselves have gone on to collaborate with the likes of Kanye West (with Connie appearing on his Graduation album), Stuart Price and Empire of the Sun, with famous fans including none other than Erick Morillo and Brandon Flowers from the The Killers. Truly fitting additions to the unforgettable dance extravaganza that will be Tiësto’s Victoria Park event, and just one more reason why it will be an experience not to be missed.

Las Vegas 21-05-2009,

Memorial Day weekend brings the big guns to “Little Ibiza.

Las Vegas is often referred to as the entertainment capital of the world, Memorial Day is the first big party of the year and Tiësto is the top-ranked DJ on the planet. It’s only natural, then, that the three are about to converge.

It’s Memorial Day weekend and Tiësto is coming to town: Get ready to embrace DJ royalty.

Memorial Day in Vegas is becoming somewhat of a tradition for Tiësto: He performed at Rehab’s Memorial Day party in 2008 and is back again this year to do two big shows with the Light Group. The Dutch DJ will do double-duty this long weekend, playing Jet on Sunday night and the Bank on Monday night. The Grammy-nominated DJ-producer is looking forward to spending some time in Sin City. “I love Las Vegas,” he said. “It’s not just a gig, it’s everything around it.”

An avid partier by any measure, the European sensation says his Vegas to-do list has more “shows” on it than “sins.” He hopes to take in at least one Cirque du Soleil performance and wants to see “Le Rêve,” too.

And then there’s the food. “I like to go out or dinner (and) as you know, some of the best restaurants in the world are in Las Vegas,” Tiësto said, naming Stack, Little Buddha and Nove Italiano as three of his favorite eateries in town.

Of course, Tiësto won’t just be playing tourist this weekend. He’s here to spin, so we caught up with the king of the turntables to talk music, audiences and a little Las Vegas band called The Killers.

You have a new album coming out in September. What will it sound like?

I don’t know how to describe it yet. It’s a blend-mix of everything, like, all the influences I’ve had in the last couple of years. It’s indie, it’s rock, it’s dance, it’s electro, it’s house. All the influences are there. I [am currently trying] to produce songs instead of dance tracks, so they’re still dance tracks, but they’re song-written dance tracks. That’s the big difference for this album.

Electro-dance is definitely moving mainstream; is that a good thing or a bad thing for the genre?

You can finally see that dance music is coming through. … I think it’s amazing that it’s finally happened; it should have happened years ago. It used to be very underground, and now it’s more mainstream—but that’s not a bad thing … Even hip-hop artists and indie bands, they all use electronic sounds now. The Internet brought freedom to the people, and dance music is freedom. … I’m glad I can be a part of that and keep it going.

You recently collaborated with The Killers to remix “Spaceman.” What made you want to work with them?

[The Killers] have always been one of my favorite bands, since the first album. I think they have an amazing charisma around them, and the music and the lyrics are always very strong. [They are] a great band to be affiliated with.

How do your shows in Las Vegas differ from your shows in Europe?

The clubs I play in Vegas are, for me, really small compared to what I normally do. When I do the big shows [in Europe] I just play, like, outdoor, epic trance music … [In Vegas] I try to keep it more housey, more vocal.

Are Vegas audiences different from European ones?

The Vegas crowd is always a very beautiful crowd. There’s lots of hot girls everywhere, and guys are all pimps with lots of money [laughs] … It’s a different crowd to play for, and, for me, I like that a lot because it’s something different. People come to Vegas to party from all over the world, that’s what I like about it. It’s like a little Ibiza.

Antwerp 07-05-2009,

Tiësto and Front 242 are coming to Laundry Day this year, the Dance Festival in Antwerp that is held on the 5th of september. This year the party is held on a new location: the ‘Nieuw Zuid’ near the Antwerp palace of justice.

150.000 m²

Laundry Day started in 1998  as a small party in the ‘Kammenstraat’. In 2005 it moved to ‘het Eilandje’ because the ‘Kammenstraat’ became to small. This year they moved again to the ‘Ledeganckkaai’, somewhere in the middle of nowhere where a piece of ground was renovated as a festival terrain.

Tickets cost 20 euro

Laundry Day is held on the 5th of september 2009. Tickets for Laundry Day 2009 are 20 euro in the pre-sale and 25 euro at the door. Pre-sale starts exclusively with Free Record Shop from the 11th of may 2009.
