DJ Tiësto replaces Swedish House Mafia in Phoenix Open

PHOENIX-Due to late cancellation by Swedish House Mafia, music fans will be treated to DJ Tiësto and special guest Gordo at Coors Light Birds Nest’s WM Phoenix Open (February 5-8) instead.

Tiësto, who has sold more than 36 million albums since 1994, will headline the final night on February 8th. Tickets already purchased for the day’s lineup [email protected].

General admission tickets for the newly announced couple start at $125 and VIP packages, which include food, drinks and prime seating, start at $350.

Phoenix Open tournament chairman Matt Mooney said while the Swedish House Mafia’s absence was disappointing, he was thrilled that Tiësto was able to step in with such short notice.

“Tiësto is an absolute legend in the world of electronic music and will undoubtedly bring an unforgettable energy to close out an incredible week,” Mooney said in the release.

Gordo’s special guest act begins around 6:30 p.m. before Tiësto takes the stage at 8:30 p.m

Gates open at 3:30 p.m. and close at 10:30 p.m. every evening from Wednesday to Saturday.

Who is DJ Tiësto?

The 56-year-old, who hails from Breda, Netherlands, specializes in electronic dance music and has been named “No. 1 DJ” by Mixmag and Rolling Stone.

Tiësto has produced hits such as “The Motto” and “Jackie Chan” with Post Malone and boasts nearly 39 million monthly Spotify listeners (83rd most in the world).
