The news you've been waiting for; Tiesto's return to Oz!

As revealed on inthemix recently, global dance music superstar Tiesto is set to return to Australia in late April. Trance fans unite, this is the tour you’ve been waiting for! It will be the Dutchman’s first visit to Australia in 4 years, and judging by the response to the initial announcements it’s clear that Tiesto’s many local fans have been waiting for this news with keen anticipation for quite some time!

As promised, inthemix can now reveal that Tiesto will be touching down for shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney over the last weekend of April (Anzac Day long weekend) and first weekend of May. Presented by Hardware, Prime Time Management, Transmission, Family and Killrockstar, inthemix is a proud supporter of Tiesto’s return tour! The tour has so far visited over 70 cities across the globe and is in support of Tiesto’s third artist album, ‘Elements of Life’.

The venues selected for Tiesto’s Melbourne and Sydney ‘In Concert’ shows are said to have been carefully chosen to meet the Dutch legend’s exact specifications, preferring to play arenas with “clear quality sound and access to a large scale, yet intimate feel as Tiesto likes to be close to the crowd (2 meters away in fact).” Tickets go onsale Tuesday February 12th, and an exclusive allocation will be available right here on inthemix.

Tiesto recently gained accolades from American music megalith Billboard.com, with the website naming him and his Elements Of Life world tour as one of 2007’s highlights. “Tiesto’s spectacular tour featured sky-high video screens, pyrotechnics and trippy appearances by Blue Man Group,” enthused the US media outlet. “With a lighter-hoisting rock scope and a ‘concert-style’ set programmed to match the visual onslaught, the tour blazed a new trail for DJ performance.”
