You must have a WORK visa to come into the US if you are coming here to work...as in, you are coming to the US and getting paid to DJ. Must get a new one every six or twelves months. This is for tons of countries.
Menno de Jong came here a few times w/o one...then one time got stopped in Detroit while on his way to LA (to play at an afterparty for US. Armin and ATB played at the main party). Turns out he didn't have a work Visa (I don't think he realized he needed one) and was forced to turn around and go right back home. Don't think he's been back in the US since and this was last July I believe. Dunno what's the status on getting him a work visa. |

You need them for a lot of countries, the US is diligent about it though, whereas Canada... Ya... Not quite the same, haha.
I'm glad the Zabster kept his cool, shows what kind of guy he really is. And I think (as previously mentioned) we are ALL thankful he didn't decide to pull a Tenaglia and start pooping on promoters chests, or whatever it was he was threatening to do, good one Danny T, been in the industry a thousand years and hasn't gained an ounce of professionalism, smooooooth. |

Yeah, US has been diligent since 9/11.
Remember Laurent Garnier was booked to do a US tour in 2005 and basically gave the US a big F-U after it turned out to be so much trouble and what he thought was necessary unreasonable after more changes made to the restrictions in 2004. Think they wanted all kinds of private details like proof of things he owned, bank account info, phone records, info on his family members, and more.
He's doing some US dates in November (Spundae/Avaland in LA, Chicago, Miami, New York)...not sure if its his first time in the US since he cancelled back in 2005 or not. |

Yes. They were trying to cut his set short. I forget the exact details of why, but it stands:
If promoters try to cut your set short, make like Menno and tell 'em to " off!" |
