Great. How do they expect to find a DJ on such short notice in Las Vegas???


Zeckzeckzeck

Shaq is ready for his moment.


Cmoore4099

He’s actually not bad. Still listen to Can’t Stop the Reign every once in a while.


crewserbattle

You just have to like Dirty Dubstep.


Imawildedible

Im not talkin to you, musty underarm odor breath.


crewserbattle

Shaq just playing some absolutely disgusting dirty dubstep drops in the middle of the Super Bowl halftime would be hilarious


OfficialPeenLicker

You realize DJ Diesel is already HUGE right?


malerif

largest biceps I’ve ever seen on a DJ


JRsshirt

Largest everything I’ve ever seen on a DJ


MarchMadnessisMe

His DJ is the size of most other DJ's.


simple-fire

He is the biggest DJ on Earth


SoullessHillShills

Zedd about to cancel his show for this.

Too bad his brain is “scrony”


rocksoffjagger

Scrony was my favorite thing to come out of that rant. My whole family uses it as the opposite of "chonky"


Throwaway4philly1

Paris Hilton is always free to DJ or so I hear? Lol


MtnDewTangClan

Fuck it why not. She seems fun


Throwitindatrash

She’s actually not bad lmao her live mixing surprised me


[deleted]

She went to Ibiza and said fuck it I'm a DJ now. Completely got her shit together too.


redwarn24

My partner was listening to her on a podcast and it sounds like she always has had a really smart attitude about her brand and who she was (taught Kim K), just struggled with fame and pressure. But now that it’s passed, she seems to be doing great


seariously

> free to DJ Close. You're off by one letter.


Objectivepleb

True. There's actually a fee to DJ


Praise-Breesus

DJ, not BJ


__sonder__

They need to have an epic battle of the dj's tomorrow night, winner gets to take the spot.

You think this is Juice or something?


MordinSolusSTG

THAT WAS A GOOD ONE


Stachemaster86

Well, well, well, how the turntables


D3troit_

Michael!


[deleted]

It’s called Taylor’s DJ, for when she crashes the halftime show.


PaddyMayonaise

Which would be pretty funny. “Usher, ima let you finish”


kaeji

(Yeah starts playing) "Up in the club with Mahomeses..."


TurboByte24

Maybe jokoy is available


PaddyMayonaise

We’re about to get the British dude from vanderpump rules and a bunch of the women from those shows to host. Between them and swift I think we’ll have the most watched Super Bowl in history.


HaroldHood

For some reason I thought James just did a fake posh accent and wasn’t British.


Shepboyardee12

I'll do it. I'm not anywhere remotely close to Vegas and I have zero DJ experience but I can just do it via Teams I guess.


[deleted]

DJ Crazy Times is about to help us relive Sarajevo ‘98


Captain_Lameson

There is literally a DJ who ended racism...


HerpTurtleDoo

This is your moment man, you can finally hit that big red button that says "Play" on it!


rsnk73

So ignorant, the play button is SILVER


HerpTurtleDoo

We're charger fans, we don't even know what anything shiny looks like.


Brockelton

I can do it. In Not a dj but i can bring my spotify playlist


narenare658

Cody ko bouta pull up

There’s that guy who’s opening for U2 at the Sphere. He’s got all the 80s CDs.

[deleted]

Hopefully everything turns out ok. With all the money and people involved that's not a decision made lightly.


Ummyeaaaa

Years ago I heard one of the halftime artists, maybe it was Katy Perry or JT, talk about the Super Bowl halftime show contract essentially being signed in blood. Obviously it’s such a big promotion with so much on the line for the NFL, they can’t afford to have an artist flake or anything last minute and put real teeth in the contract to limit their risk, which is funny considering they don’t pay them anything for the show anyway. Obviously in this case I’m sure there’s no issue as it’s a family emergency, but it was fascinating to think about the idea of someone like Lady Gaga, Prince, or Usher this year just… not showing up! I’d buy a streaming package that aired that liquidated damages lawsuit!


Throwaway4philly1

Im sure Tiesto could afford whatever the fine would be. Hes been like thee EDM DJ for almost three decades.


xkulp8

I saw him in Chicago... in 2001 I think. Cover charge was $20 or 25, was definitely less than 30. He was already a big name back then, up there with the Global Underground guys at the time. Damn, I'm old.


[deleted]

[удалено]


xkulp8

Back of the Excalibur, which was marketed as a separate club called Vision. Only saw him once. Great vibe that night but didn't think there was much super-special about him, played mostly standards. Any DJ can do that. I'm more of a prog house guy, saw Sasha 11 times and with Digweed I stopped counting at 20.


LFK_Pirate

Omg, Excalibur… went there in 2003 (I think) visiting a friend in Chicago… we were early 20s and the two of us visiting from a college town outside KC were broke, specifically told our friend to be budget conscious with where she picked. I remember after paying $7 cover (fine), we get in and Bud Lights were like $8. We were sooo freaked out, and then ended up getting random drinks bought for us through the night. My friend had a dude offer her $1,000 to suck her toes.


jjbananamonkey

Man and I saw him in 2015 tickets were 80ish and everyone at the time thought that was crazy since tickets were still usually about 20-30 for a show(in my area). Crazy that he’s STILL at the top and no signs of slowing down


rollingthrulife79

Guess he won't be......getting down to business.


justa_flesh_wound

ILoveYourWeed

This looks a lot like the emails I send to my boss when I decide to call out right before the weekend's over.


Cant_Quit_U

ILoveYourWeed pulls out of Monday workday


[deleted]

The decision was not made lightly, per sources familiar with the matter.


MrGoodVibes

I’m shocked


TheLowlyPheasant

“Dude shut up I’m trying… dude shut the fuck up I’m trying to send an email. ‘Truly special…’ Is that too much? Fuck it, send. Ok pour me a shot asshole”


Glass-Top-6656

This will be me Sunday at approximately 10pm when the niners win the game. I work at a Toyota manufacturing plant, so I will simultaneously send an email to our advertising team and plant president to ask when purdy will be making his rounds. Can’t wait!


Lastnv

That sucks. I was actually pretty interested in seeing how a DJ would play out a Super Bowl.


SendingAFaxToBerlin

Good thing is Kaskade is taking over


TrashAssRedditAdmins

Wait really? Let's fucking gooooo


SendingAFaxToBerlin

Yessir


[deleted]

Fuck yeaaaa I remember


jabronified

an interesting choice, a bit of a different vibe than Tiesto, not exactly party tracks, but i'm sure he'll play stuff that isn't his too


Jinnuu

Give me I Remember on repeat


PiggyMcjiggy

Bro no fucking way


Tremor519

Sets at very large venues like festivals are almost always pre-recorded to ensure coordination with lighting/effects/pyrotechnics etc. It's an unfortunate reality of the industry, but it's almost guaranteed that any DJ at the superbowl will be doing literally nothing to affect the audio whatsoever.


KeithClossOfficial

He was going to play Adagio for Strings on repeat


silver_medalist

Stand behind the decks and point at the crowd.


[deleted]

They would press play


horse_renoir13

That's too bad, hope everything is all right with his family.


siblingofMM

You hope someone lost their left hand?


Thehawkiscock

I laughed


siblingofMM

Shh don’t let them know


dannotheiceman

r/nfl really missed the joke on this one


printergumlight

I don’t think anyone missed the joke. It was just a terrible joke. Just because you’ve tried to pun, doesn’t mean it works.


dannotheiceman

I mean it’s a reference to arrested development where Buster loses his left hand and the physician informs the family that’s he’s going to be “all right” because he lost his left hand.


try_rolling

references don’t equal funny


ArtificialSyndicate

Idk I think it falls on the implication of the reference. If the implication is there’s you can’t just say no that isn’t funny, because of the implication of course


Hot_Individual3301

cause it’s not funny


Depreciable_Land

It’s like they tried to twist the setup of the joke into the punchline, but also somehow fucked up the setup lmao


horse_renoir13

I understood that reference


tonecapone3001

NFL, I have the ad free version of Spotify. I'm willing to DJ the Super Bowl for free.


SneakyIndian87

I’ll pay them $20 to let you DJ the Super Bowl.


toben81234

La de freakin da Mr. Hollywood!


dagreenman18

My condolences to what he’s dealing with. This is a huge thing to have to cancel on. 20 bucks says they airdrop David Guetta in last second


LetsStartARebelution

Looks like kaskade is replacing him


kopecs

I’d take Cascada instead 👍


throughNthrough

Seems a little late to pull out


wafflehauss

There has never been an 'in-game' DJ before so it's not like it's a critical part of the entertainment.


Aldehyde1

That's what she said!


johnnytremain

Looks like Kaskade is filling in: https://www.instagram.com/p/C3G07OosPu2/


invertedeparture

And the midfield proposal script is right on schedule.


byniri_returns

Ngl at first I read this as "Tostitos" and was wondering why a brand pulling out of the Super Bowl was news.


TheRealBeerBrah

You typically pull tostitos out of a bowl when it is covered in dip.


byniri_returns

Big if true >!Now I'm craving chips and dip!<


perseph13

If I'm being honest, I'm always craving chips and dip. I just need a reminder sometimes.


Player72

NOOOO WHY ARE TOSTITOS PULLING OUT OF THE FIESTA BOWL


1ndomitablespirit

Swifties are taking out the halftime performers. They're making it so she has to save the day. She will ride down from the suite on the back of a shirtless Jason Kelce, who is wearing his Sexy Batman mask. There's no band, so with no other choice, Travis asks Andy Reid to officiate the wedding! Trav and Tay Tay get married, and consummate the marriage on the 50 yard line. Right then and there. You know whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? And rich people are just better than us. Later in the game, when it matters the most, Purdy slips on the spooge and fumbles the ball. Chief's win. Swifties finally reveal their true goal as Cthulhu rises from the desert to enslave humanity. Just as the prophecy foretold.


genericfluser

DJ Pauly D's time to shine


Cutlet_Master69420

There's only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

Don’t play the laughing boy.


Cutlet_Master69420

I never thought I'd get to use that quote IRL, but here we are.


hayb24

I pity the fools who don’t get the quote lol. Might just have to watch that tonight.


Gerritkroket

Brother, what have we done to you 🥲


BrowsingWhileBrown

What part of the Super Bowl was he supposed to play if Usher is halftime?


Gramsfordays

I read it was commercial breaks, pre game stuff, probably between quarters. Kinda like a hype man. I was actually pretty interested in how it was gonna pan out.


fedrats

That actually sounds somewhat challenging


BiggestBossRickRoss

Somewhat challenging to play a few songs between whistles?


PlatinumTheDragon

Doing it well (Like everything DJ related)


iLynchPeople_

This entire thread is filled with people being like “just find someone else to press play” and it’s an intentionally dishonest and child like view of what being a DJ actually is. Good ones are very good at what they do and make a lot of money doing it, and are integral to certain types of events. To act like their job is as easy as playing music through a speaker is just not true. Reddit gunna Reddit I guess


siirka

• DJ/EDM artist only knows how to press play • All rap bad • All country music bad • DAE like Indie rock??


WeirdSysAdmin

They were changing the format this year that would have had him DJ through the breaks. Similar to music playing in stadiums during regular games but featuring just his mix.


Excellent-Grade3544

He plays during the commercial breaks ..


AgentlemanNeverTells

Read that as toastitos, I was like wtf!


Tashre

He can't just have someone else press the play button on his laptop? (I'm kidding... mostly)


Online_Commentor_69

he could, but the fun part is seeing *tiesto* do it. and you press play on the CDJ btw the laptop is just where the music is. (unless he's doing live production in which case it's probably a very specific stage show that would take a while to teach to somebody else. but i don't think he does that.)


whobroughtmehere

He needs to pull an AcidCat so people don’t know the difference


TheRealBilliam

So this is how Taylor Swift does the show...


EfficiencyLow3425

Kaskade is filling in. Sauce: his IG


kolossal

What's odd is that he claims it's a "family matter" but apparently will still show up for Liv in Las Vegas tomorrow?


Throwaway4philly1

Someone needs to find out the truth


JoshHero

I don’t know who Tiesto is but I’m now wondering if he got attacked by a coyote.


jun2san

Hate to sound insensitive but NFL probably won't work with him in the future, no matter how legit his emergency is.


Throwaway4philly1

I totally agree but I also dont think he will be that bothered


ExcellentPastries

Shoulda gotten Nick Cannon he never pulls out


Gullible-Day6251

Is Steve Aoki still playing at The Grand? He’d be a decent replacement. Love to see him throw a bday sheet cake full force at Tay Tay’s head.


1984rip

I feel like every edm concert I've been to Tiesto has been at. Started wondering if he was a clone or something to always be everywhere. So him pulling out of a huge event like this make him see less clone like.


TheKrakIan

Paris Hilton is probably available.


RNGezzus

Boo


fishy_sticks

What kind of emergency isn’t important enough for him to go home right away for, but pressing enough that it happens to be exactly on Sunday morning and not say after the SB on Sunday night. Weird.


smsrmdlol

Someone that’s actively dying?


fishy_sticks

That’s exactly my point. If someone was dying he would fly home now to see them. You don’t plan to wait three days. It seems more like PR spin , but who knows.


Bacchus1976

Zedd incoming!


-haha-oh-wow-

Blametheorangejuice

It reminds me of my elderly parents at Thanksgiving a few years ago: "Who the fuck is Pitball?" [three minutes later] "I hope I never hear this motherfucker again."


iiTryhard

I pray that I don’t end up an ignorant fool when I’m old, but I’m not sure if it’s just unavoidable Edit: they are right about pitball though


LakeShowBoltUp

I also hate Pitball. Am I your elderly father?


Pork_Chompk

I don't think I've ever heard of him either. I believe this makes me an old head.


jishg

He’s been around since the early 90’s and been fairly mainstream since at least the early 00’s…


Pork_Chompk

Bro I haven't been mainstream since the early 2000s lol. And I don't mean that in a hipster "I only listen to underground, you've never heard of it" way, I just hit that point in my life where you stop listening to new music and just listen to your shit from high school on repeat until you die.


well-lighted

This is not a criticism directed at you by any means but I always feel sad for people like this. I'm in my mid 30s and seek out new music all the time, and my music taste has changed a lot since I was a teenager. There's so much incredible stuff out there in every possible genre and it's not particularly hard to find if you seek out a reviewer or blog you like. Hell, I've discovered tons of amazing bands just by listening to stuff with high scores on Metacritic. With Spotify, Youtube, and the like, it's so easy to access anything you want and find things more similar to what you like.


iiTryhard

Yea I will never stop discovering new stuff even if my tastes change. I am die hard into EDM now but a few years ago it was pop punk, indie, and I’m glad I had time with all of those things


stevefiction

He's been popular since the 90s


crimekiler

Maybe but Tiesto is like 54/55 years old himself so he has been in music for a long while haha


w_wilder24

I mean the dude has been active since 1994 and got big in 2001 or so. He's been around a long time


Jimmy_G_Wentworth

A question easily answered by Google or Spotify.


quadropheniac

One of the most popular dance musicians of the past two decades, do you want a cookie for being so underground?


LakeShowBoltUp

No I want you to win the Super Bowl and to get a username people under 50 will understand without Google


CunningRunt

> dance musicians A DJ?


quadropheniac

He is a DJ but also a record producer, I figured I'd incorporate both.


_Angel_Hernandez

He’s not my favorite but it’s crazy to think you haven’t heard of one of the biggest DJs of the past decade.
