David Guetta announces a rare 4 date Canadian tour

/

The man that helped popularize electronic dance music to the wider pop music world and contributed to making this scene as big it is today is coming back to Canada after a long a break. David Guetta has recently been busy releasing new material, first with his Beatport chart topping remix of Avicii's "Addicted To You", and then with his collab with Showtek called "Bad" that's currently #5 on the Beatport top 100: 

Listen to Hardwell's and Nicky Romero's yearmix for 2013

/

With 2013 almost in the books, the yearmix blitz is now in full effect. Check out these year-mixes from two of the biggest names in the scene, Hardwell and Nicky Romero:

Hardwell will be in Canada for 2 huge New Year's Eve events: the first one will be in Calgary for Glitter & Gold at the BMO Centre (Click here for tickets); he will then fly to Vancouver for the Solid NYE event at the Pacific Coliseum (Click here for tickets).

The new #1 DJ in the world will be in Canada for 2 parties on New Year's Eve

/

Hardwell, voted as the #1 DJ in the DJ Mag top 100 poll for 2013, has just announced that he will be partying with us Canadians to ring in 2014. He will be in Calgary playing at the BMO Centre and in Vancouver at the Pacific Coliseum for two special New Year's Eve parties:

Hardwell is not one to forget his close friends as he has Dyro supporting him in Calgary, while Dannic will be joined by Firebeatz, Sick Individuals, and more in Vancouver. Dyro and Dannic have already joined Hardwell in a Canadian tour last year so they are no strangers to the Canadian winter cold! You might ask, how will Hardwell be able to play at two separate parties, on the same night, in two different provinces, for New Year's Eve? I thought about it too but if I would venture a guess: it will involve a private jet, fast cars, and taking full advantage of the hour time difference between Calgary and Vancouver.

Tickets go on sale for these two huge stadium New Year's Eve events on Monday, November 4th at 9:00 am in Vancouver, and 10:00 am in Calgary. Click below for more information:
