Busy Days Ahead For Deadmau5
Since we last looked at Deadmau5’s late summer/early fall tour, the electronic artist has slotted additional dates for several cities and pushed back the release of his live DVD. Oh, and he’s looking for someone to design a new head for him.

However, fame can be a fickle mistress and Deadmau5’s revised itinerary now has him working even harder, playing two shows in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the PNE Forum, Aug. 11-12; four shows in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium Aug. 25-27; Atlanta’s Tabernacle Sept. 13-14; Montreal’s Metropolis Sept. 20-Oct. 1; four nights in New York City at Roseland Ballroom Oct. 5-8; and four nights at Boston’s House of Blues Oct. 11-14.
Deadmau5 has also added Las Vegas to the routing, playing The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan Sept. 2-3.
Tickets for the additional shows as well as the newly listed Vegas gigs are already on sale.
The release date for Deadmau5’s DVD – “Live @ Earls Court” – also has a change of schedule. Originally planned to drop July 5, the disc’s release has been delayed until Aug. 2 in order to add “technical enhancements.” The live DVD depicts Deadmau5 history-making performance as the first electronic artist to sell out the 19,000-capacity venue in London.
Finally, the challenge to fans to create a new Deadmau5 head is underway, but you only have a couple of days to meet the July 13 deadline. For inspiration, check out the 10 pre-released submissions posted at Talenthouse.com.
