Get pumped everyone because the “Godfather of EDM” is coming to Tampa this Thursday, November 16th! The trance-infused genius Tiesto is making his way to Tampa Bay to provide his fans with the show of a lifetime at the Ritz in Ybor City. Considering he is the first DJ in history to sell out a solo concert in a stadium, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
Tiesto started his career DJing at houses parties and small venues only to begin realizing that he could make a comfortable-to-luxurious living when he began residencies at Holland clubs between 1985 and 1993. Once he molded a brand image for himself and transitioned into his own creative groove, he decided to venture into the musical realm that would change his life forever. He is known for inventing and revolutionizing mix compilations into masterpieces. This unique art began to go viral and is now considered to be a trend in electronic music reflected off of his powerful influence. Those that currently create the same kind of work pay homage to Tiesto’s unorthodox novelties.
As an inspirational character, Tiesto is one of the many that are fully-enriched in the rapidly growing subculture of “bassheads” that seems to fuse together disorderly teenagers and pompously-pocketed businessmen. Music is a rarity that has the ability to sew theoretical open wounds that arise due to a divided world. It motivates others to merge through a shared passion and unite in a setting that provides nothing but an abundance of euphoric sensations and memories. The world of EDM, once confined and bashed on by others, has exploded through the works of social media, festivals, and musical influencers like Tiesto.
For those of you interested in experiencing this craze in new music, come on out to Tiesto’s show this Thursday. Doors open from 10 p.m.-3 a.m., and the event is welcome to anyone that is 18+ years of age with a photo ID. Ticket prices vary between $50-$80 plus taxes and fees, but make sure to hurry up and snag yours because it is almost a sold out show! Get an early start to your weekend and get lost in the music with one of the greatest DJs of all time.
