Deadmau5 cancelled, Die Antwoord replaces Breakestra

Unfortunately, Deadmau5 won’t be playing Sziget 2010 anymore. According to a message from the Deadmau5 management,

[...] whilst performing onstage at the 9:30 club in Washington DC,

deadmau5 collapsed, suffering exhaustion and vomiting. Medics at the venue took

him directly to hospital where he is now under supervision

deadmau5 is sad to advise his fans that on the strict advice of the doctors, he

now has no choice but to cancel the next 9 shows of his Summer tour schedule to

allow for his recovery. The dates affected are listed below.

Deadmau5 hopes to reschedule appearing in these cities in due course but in the

meantime thanks all his fans for their understanding and support.

Dates that have to be CANCELLED:

August 1st Osheaga Music & Arts Festival, Montreal Canada

August 7th Summersonic Osaka Japan

August 8th Summersonic Tokyo Japan

August 12th Cream at Amnesia Ibiza

August 13th Cocorico Riccione Italy

August 14th Papaya Summer Festival Croatia

August 15th Sziget Festival Budapest Hungary

August 17th Cavo Paradiso Mykonos Greece

August 18th Opium Mar Barcelona Spain

Some other interesting news is that Breakestra will be replaced by Die Antwoord on August 15, at the Party Arena.

  4. Philippos S. says:

    bring four tet, he ‘s free on the 15th:))) he comes from norway, he leaves for belgium! easy!!:)

  5. Mirex says:

    I dont think they will replace him, they´ll just write that it´s cancelled and there will be no show at that time :/ but, what we can do is wait and see

  6. Coceau91 says:

    Why not replace him with Wolfgang Gartner, Don Rimini or Diplo (since Diplo’ll already be at Sziget with Major Lazer, according to his agenda?)

  7. Gábor says:

    now @ hungarian sziget site and they write replacement for deadmau5 coming nex days

    i hope it is a big name ;)

  8. Alex says:

    Off course they will replace him. Remember Carl Cox? He cancelled at the last day but they booked John Digweed.

    I Think Richie Hawtin will replace deadmau5. I’m afraid David Guetta will replace him… well, we know it in a few days

  9. Mirex says:

    David Guetta wont come to sziget, since he played at another festival by sziget production…
    it may be ROYKSOPP, because they´ll be in Slovakia the day before

    Their MySpace says that the guitarist is getting treated for cancer, so they cancelled all the shows they had scheduled… http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=1700693&blogId=537447035

  14. Mellowmaniac says:

    Hmm – Timo Maas replaces Deadmau5.

    I would have prefered one of the other DJs from the Electrocity Festival (Kevin Saunderson, Erik Morillo, Roger Sanchez)…
