Tiesto to play at the opening of the Olympics

Tiesto performing at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games, Athens 2004.

This evening on Dutch television the Greek artistic director of the openings ceremony (Dimitris Papaioannou) confirmed that they were very proud to have Tiesto as a part of their official opening of the Olympic Games of Athens 2004 on Friday August 13, 2004. He is going to spin his music live during the parade of athletes. During this parade all participating nations introduce their athletes.

Fucking hell, can he get any bigger? I hope he plays better than he has at Cream recently!

Lmao hes playing for 90 mins so there is chance he might fuck up but hope he doesnt. Estimated audience of 2.2. billion

and global!!!, he was shite!!!

I'm glad Mick is away, he wouldn't be happy about all this!

It would be so funny if he did though. Imagine if he just let the record play out or something! I am going to watch this for defo!

ive told him mate, and he didnt have anything t say!!!, he's read around other message boards aswell bout his GG set, he seemed a bit gutted!!! love winding him up!!!

Am supprised they can afford him........................

Wonder what he;s charging to do this

must be first time a dj ever played at the olympics

Poor mick will be crying in his pint lol.

Nah happened at the Atlanta opening and the Sydney closing

I saw Tiesto play @ The Academy in Manchester a few months ago, snore he was so boring, he didn't go anywhere and the tunes he was playing were nothing special.

I used to go to GC and see him play all the time, he was class but the last time i saw him i left after an hr,

I hope he doesn't fuck up that though,how gutted would you be???

its a shame the poor bastards have to sit through that shite

i personally wouldn't care, and i doubt a load of athletics lovers are gonna notice a dodgy mix

I hope he nails it 2bh!!

Seen him at global and he dissappointed me, and wass expecting a lot.

Wud like 2 see him prove his position as world no.1

hes nowhere near worlds number 1 dj imo, worlds most popular because of things like this where he gets his name around, but theres far better djs than tiesto.

Yeah, he was amazing at The Arches early this year and at last years Global Gathering, I dunno why he has went downhill of late.

i just cant class a dj as number 1 when ive seen him play more stinkers than good sets i have seen him play well, but on the nights ive seen him play good hes also been outplayed by other djs.

EXACTLY mate!!!!
