Tiësto in Concert US Tour
August 26, 2005


After careful consideration, the producers of the Tiësto in Concert US Tour, Angel LIVE have decided to postpone the Washington DC event at the MCI Center on Friday, October 21, 2005. After our experience with the site build in LA last week, we realized we do not have enough time to build the site properly in the narrow window between the end of U2’s show Friday morning and the opening of doors at 8:30 pm that night. To do so would require a compromise to the scale of the production and/or the safety of the aerial performers, none of which are viable options for Angel LIVE. We are actively in discussions with the MCI Center for a 2006 reschedule.

On behalf of Tiësto, who was incredibly excited about the DC show, and Angle LIVE, we apologize for the change of schedule. Following the phenomenal success of Los Angeles on August 20, we are excited to do it again and look forward to seeing everyone in Miami for the October 27 event, which is on sale currently, along with the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans on October 29. The New Year’s Eve Event will be held at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas and tickets will go on sale September 3, 2005.

While this is in the wrong forum, I would not have read it otherwise and not gotten a big chuckle.

Their logistics people are total fucking morons if they had to actually do a install to realize that they would not have enough changeover time.

Some project manager needs to be fired over this, seriously. It is their job to plan out every little step of an install, send out advance teams, etc. They should know (within a small margin of error) how long it is going to take them to put it/tear down their show and it should have been in the rider they sent to the venue with the contract.

Makes me chuckle.
