Huge disappointment coming out of Vancouver as Tiesto unfortunately had to cancel his appearance tonight for day 2 of Dooms Night at the Pacific Coliseum. As Tiesto's timeline suggests, it was due to a massive delay from a commercial flight.
Since Tiesto was the big headlining act for day 2 of Dooms Night, Solid Events, the event organizers of the festival made a tough decision to cancel day 2 entirely:
Due to unforeseen circumstances with flight delay with #tiesto. #DAY2 will be postponed until further notice. Thank you for ur patience.

For those fans that are unfortunately party-less for the night, Solid Events had organized a free show at the last minute at Bar None tonight featuring other headliners like Danny Avila, Dzeko and Torres:
Tonight at #barnone vancouver @DJDannyAvila and @DzekoandTorres for free show. @VancityBuzz #vancouver #edm and of course us :)

There is already talk from the event organizers of rescheduling Tiesto so hopefully all of these difficulties will eventually blow over with a new Tiesto date. But I cannot help but feel absolutely gutted for the fans, the event organizers, and even Tiesto as so many people were so ready to have a great time but were thwarted by unforeseen circumstances. My sympathies are with you.
Update: Tiesto rescheduled to play Vancouver on Sat, Nov 2nd for a special 3 hour set! - Link.
