Deadmau5 Debuts New Stage At Governor’s Ball, Experiences Technical Difficulties
As we mentioned before, Deadmau5 has been preparing a new stage, and he premiered it tonight at Governor’s Ball in New York where he unfortunately had some technical difficulties.
Deadmau5's closing set at Governors Ball 2015 on Saturday, June 6, had promised to be a primetime unveiling of the new geodesic dome setup that was years in the making for the mercurial electronic musician.
Instead, it started as a patience-testing struggle against power issues that caused the sound to sputter and cut out multiple times. The pregnant pauses spurred "fix this shit" chants and speculation that the trickster artist was messing with the crowd. "It was so good for like minutes!" lamented one attendee.
Deadmau5 removed his trademark mau5head and could be seen yelling at the tech crew onstage before coming out to the front, shrugging and doing a few push-ups to fans' amusement.
The outspoken artist also took to Twitter to address what had taken place.
Rehearse all you want, you're still at the mercy at the fuckup who doesn't know how 3 phase power works. Lol. Amazing recovery tho!
