So I know everyone's opinion of Tiesto on TA - and that's not the question.
There's a huge rumour he may play at a city in India (Hyderabad) on the 16th Feb. For those who've never heard him play(I have at Dance Valley 6 years ago - and quite enjoyed the experience), do you think it's worth travelling across cities (bus/train/planes) to see him; and also fork out about US$ 50 for a ticket?
There's not a whole bunch of "international" talent that comes thru India, so clubbers try and make the most of what they get.
So is Tijs worth the effort + the expense?

For people in India yes, but since you seem to be well travelled and would be critical of the gigs that Tiesto dishes out nowadays, no.
Unless you want to hear supposed 'minimal', 5 tracks from Elements of Life and a 2008 remake of Silence that is.

If you mean 5 tracks "alternative", 20 artist tracks, and STILL the 2000 version of Delerium. Then about right.
I thought that the team who were advertising this gig back in early-December are now telling people it won't go ahead?
At least, tiesto's official schedule has only a trip to Dubai in that weekend.

you wouldn't think
i'd imagine if it was his first time in a country/city with a relatively obscure EDM scene then he'll probably play a lowest common denominator crowdpleaser set with all the obvious/overplayed tunes, so i probably wouldn't bother shelling out

If I were to pay $50 on top of traveling across various cities by bus/trains or whatever. It better damn well be someone better than Tiesto. And for more than one night.

He played in town here for -all expenses included- probably less than what you'd have to pay. Still couldn't be bothered.
On the other hand, a bunch of us were seriously considering pooling our money together to send Ishkur to that concert as a bachelor party present.

Tiesto is better than Armin, Menno, or PVD. If you don't like good music then don't go hear tiesto.
