Eric Prydz - Summadayze Cancellation

Eric Prydz - Summadayze Cancellation

Much to the chagrin of his fans down under, electro powerhouse Eric Prydz cancelled his Australian & NZ tour due to his fear of flying.

He will no longer be performing in Auckland for Summadayze on the 10th January 2009. To see a full list of all the other great acts still on the line up for Summadayze please see the below media release.

Says his management, Mainstage Artists:
"It is with great regret that we must announce that Eric Prydz has not travelled to Australia. It has been well documented that Eric has had a history of air travel issues and regrettably after having boarded his flight in London he had to leave the flight and was unable to re-board.

Another flight was then re-booked for the following day but again after boarding the flight, a panic attack ensued and he again had to leave the airplane, it was then decided to abort the tour. This is huge disappointment for all concerned, especially Eric and he sincerely apologises to all ticketholders of his scheduled events.

We can only apologise to Future Entertainment who have done everything in their power to make these shows possible and have been nothing less than professional throughout.

CALVIN HARRIS DJ Set
Calvin Harris invented disco. No, Calvin Harris reinvented disco, a cult producer-slash-singer-slash-bedroom-knob-twiddler slash DJ who can make the banging-est of pop-dance tunes out of bugger-all kit. Calvin Harris will make you jump around like a silly-billy - the slamming likes of 'The Girls' and “Acceptable in the 80’s” plus his own style of infective disco madness will meet you on the dance floor at Summadayze.

UTAH SAINTS
Displaying the crossover traits that made the Utah Saints such a formidable force, Utah Saints’ recent release, ‘Something Good 08’ (Van She Tech Remix), is the biggest dance record of 2008 so far… Already receiving heavy daytime plays on Radio 1 from the likes of Jo Whiley and Pete Tong, who’ve named it ‘Hottest Record In The World’ and ‘Essential New Tune’ respectively. Having sold over 6 million records to date, recorded with the likes of REM’s Michael Stipe, and performed with U2 and others on mega-stadium tours, Utah Saints remain one of the most trail-blazing outfits within electronic music.

THE POTBELLEEZ
The Potbelleez are DJ-producers Dave Goode and Jonny Sonic, sassy singer & MC Blue and vocalist Ilan Kidron. In October 2007 the band dropped ‘Don’t Hold Back’, which spent an incredible 17 weeks at No.1 in the ARIA dance charts and 29 weeks in the ARIA Top 40 singles chart. Their follow up single ‘Are You With Me’, hit the ground running as Australian radio’s #1 Most Added Song to national playlists. The Potbelleez live show is excitement plus, with Dave and Jonny displaying their breathtaking skills over four CDJ’s, two mixers and two FX units, while Blue and Ilan weave their magic up front. The set-up is a proven winner for music fans and promoters alike.
