Canadian Joel Zimmerman, aka deadmau5, has made his ascent to superstar DJ status in a relatively short space of time thanks to his gimmicky mouse head which he wears for much of his sets as well as tapping into the progressive house and electro scene which has been the favoured 4/4 flavour of clubbing in recent years.
Now he's returning to the UK in December to embark on a tour in which he'll become the first ever electronic artiste to headline London’s Earls Court, following in the footsteps of Oasis, Pink Floyd and Madonna. deadmau5 has also assembled a top line up of acts to join him including BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe, dubstep hot property Magnetic Man (the trio of Skream, Benga and Artwork), self-proclaimed re-inventor of disco Calvin Harris, the respected electro duo Stanton Warriors and dancefloor favourite Kim Fai.
The tour kicks off on December 8th in Bournemouth, then visiting Leeds, Manchester, Coventry and Glasgow, culminating in the London show. Full details of the line ups for each are below. For tickets and information go to http://www.deadmau5.com/ukwintertour/
