Tiësto, certainly no stranger to the touring grind, has played many of the largest and most exclusive venues in the world throughout his storied career. This upcoming show, however, represents Tiësto's first time performing in Brooklyn. It will provide fans the rare opportunity to see the artist outside of the typical club, arena or festival format. Brooklyn Hangar, located along the Brooklyn waterfront, will afford attendees a once-in-a-lifetime dance music experience, owing in large part to the underground feel of the space.
The announcement of this show is the latest in a string of exciting announcements from the global dance icon. Tiësto recently released a compilation album, AFTR:HRS – Mixed by Tiësto, via his deep house label, with featured track "Something To Say" currently sitting at #1 on Spotify's United States Viral 50 Chart and #3 on its Global Viral Chart. With more new music coming soon and a slew of other tour dates already announced, 2017 promises to be an electric year for Tiësto fans.
With a remarkable career spanning over 20 years, Tiësto remains one of the top dance music acts in the world. Revered for his live shows as well as for his production and remix work, Tiësto is a globally celebrated DJ that has been named "The Greatest DJ of All Time" by Mixmag and the #1 DJ by Rolling Stone. Through revolutionary moments such as being the first DJ to open the Olympic Games and headlining festivals like Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Stereosonic, Tomorrowland, Ultra and more, he has helped pave the way for today's modern music landscape. His 2014 album, A Town Called Paradise, yielded Tiësto his first platinum single in the United States with "Wasted" [featuring Matthew Koma] and his first gold single "Red Lights." In February 2015, Tiësto was awarded a Grammy® in the Best Remixed Recording, Non Classical category for his remix of John Legend's "All Of Me." This was Tiësto's first Grammy® Award and second Grammy® nomination.
