Hypersonic Australia has reaffirmed Steve Aoki’s presence at the festival later this year, after punters discovered a conflict with a gig in Las Vegas.
This week, the superstar producer was named on the stellar lineup for Australia’s newest dance festival, going ahead this November.
After the lineup release, punters begun raising concerns about Aoki’s presence on Hypersonic’s social media pages, once they learnt he was due to perform at a nightclub in Las Vegas that same weekend.
OMNIA, a club inside Caesars Palace, was to host Aoki for a combined birthday celebration and Thanksgiving weekend gig. Described as an “all out rager party”, VIP tickets have been selling for up to US$150. The event was set for November 29 10:30 p.m. PST — the same date as the Sydney leg of the festival.
However, representatives for Hypersonic have since confirmed to Rolling Stone AU/NZ that Aoki will be heading down under for the event and the Vegas dates have been removed.
Hypersonic is produced by Symbiotic, one of Australia’s leading specialist trance event companies, led by CEO Richie McNeill and fellow director Janette Bishara.
Symbiotic has toured such acts as MaRLo, Vini Vici, Maddix, Billy Gillies, Paul van Dyk, Above & Beyond and more, and has presented Transmission Festival, Dreamstate USA, MaRLo Altitude and Festival X.
