Tiesto
Tiesto, a.k.a. Tijs Verwest, is a performer who’s transcended musical genres to create a global “Tiesto brand.” His achievements include a Grammy nomination, numerous MTV awards, performing at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, and even a wax statue at Madame Tussauds. With over 9 million followers on Facebook and over 240 million hits on YouTube, Tiesto has truly become a universal phenomenon.

Music
Recently voted ‘The Greatest DJ Of All Time’ in a poll conducted by leading dance music publication Mixmag, Tiesto has worked with artists as diverse as Nelly Furtado, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Goldfrapp, Jónsi from Sigur Rós, Diplo, and Busta Rhymes. When he’s not collaborating with the world’s most respected artists he’s jet setting his way around the globe playing sold out shows to his adoring fans. His 2010 “Kaleidoscope World Tour” spanned more than 15 months and 175 dates across six continents playing to over 1,000,000 people. The hugely successful tour was recognized by Billboard Magazine who nominated Tiësto for two 2010 Billboard Touring Awards and placed him among Billboard’s Top 25 biggest grossing touring acts of 2010.

Tour dates
Just in time for the start of the 2011 fall college semester Tiesto embarked on his “Club Life College Invasion Tour,” the largest dance music tour to ever hit the American college market. Tiesto is currently headlining the two-week tour with stops at campuses across the United States and Canada. The final stop on the tour takes place on October 8, 2011 at the Home Depot Stadium in Los Angeles – home of the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team – and with a capacity of 26,000. This will be the largest single DJ show in US history.
