Tiësto Concert Death
DJ Tiësto’s recent tour of Indonesia was struck by tragedy after a clubber died of a drug overdose at his concert in the capital city Jakarta. The young man, who has not been named due to his family’s wishes, died on 22nd April 2006 after apparently taking six ecstasy pills.
At first, the organisers of Tiësto’s Indonesia tour refused to comment on the death because they claimed his family did not want any publicity.
About 28,000 people attended the concert in Jakarta’s Ancol district, the largest ever dance event in Indonesian history. It was arranged to coincide with the launch of Tiësto’s ‘In Search of Sunrise 5’ mix compilation, and for it the country’s biggest ever soundsystem was constructed capable of delivering a ground-shaking 250,000 watts.
Tiësto’s ‘In Search of Sunrise 5’ tour touches down in the UK on 16th and 17th June at London’s Brixton Academy, although tickets for the Friday gig have already sold out.
