DJ Tiësto: Elements of Life Tour in Melbourne!

Hallo allemaal! I had the pleasure of being at DJ Tiësto's gig last night; Thursday May 1. I paid a lot for the ticket and wondered what kind of night I would have there. I was very excited the whole week as he (his real name is Tijs Verwest) is my favourite DJ/trance composer. I only found out about DJ Tiësto a year ago when I was in France. I bought his Elements of Life album from FNAC in July 2007 and fell in love with all of his work. I could not make it to any of his Elements of Life Europe tour so I was very happy to see him in Melbourne.


I was pleasantly surprised and my expectations were more than exceeded. Festival Hall was not very packed as I think the Thursday was the least favourable of all his four gigs in Melbourne so there was lots of room to dance and nicely packed at the front! His set started at 8.20pm and he had no break like I thought he would! He played until after 12 and I was dancing for almost four hours!!! His music alone and DJing inspires so much energy in the crowd no matter how far away you are. It was a truly amazing experience and one I will not forget.

For all things Tiësto, go here.





PS. At the bar there were selling Coopers Lager in a can!
