Tiesto announces 20-month Las Vegas residency
Top DJ Tiesto has announced a 20-month residency at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
The Dutch beatmaker insists he won't be making summer pilgrimages to the world's dance music meccas, like Ibiza and the Middle East, and instead he plans to set up shop in Sin City.
Announcing the big music news, Tiesto says, "With the scene blowing
up in America, Vegas is so much fun now. It's the right time to do
it. I do everything on my gut feeling, and I felt like it's gonna
be awesome there. I've been to Ibiza for 10 years, and I love
Ibiza, but I always look for something new and a new
challenge."
As part of his deal with MGM, Tiesto will perform more than 20
daytime shows at the resort's outdoor pool and over 40 gigs at the
massive new Hakkasan Restaurant and Bar, which houses 7,000
people.
He adds, "They want to make it an experience. For sure, the
production inside the club is going to be amazing."
