There has been plenty of buzz over the past week after it was revealed that legendary dance music artist Tiësto was embarking on a journey into the realm of melodic house under the new alias VER:WEST. With many clamoring that he had “returned to trance,” from listening to the preview found on his SoundCloud it became clear that this new project is centered more around the progressive house stylings that could be found blended in to in some of his In Search of Sunrise mixes.
Now, after teasing the world with the snippet of “5SBS,” fans around the world can mark their calendars for the debut performance of VER:WEST as well: Tomorrowland Around The World. Announced to be taking over the Freedom Stage for a set earlier today, the addition of this new project from Tiësto adds to an already impressive lineup that features others including Armin van Burren, ANNA, Vini Vici, and more.
“I would describe VER:WEST as melodic house music. It’s a lot deeper and more chill and a very different energy than Tiësto. I got this opportunity from Tomorrowland to express a different side of me which I’ve never done before. I know they are going to put amazing visuals around it and make it look really different and cool. Expect the unexpected, it’s going to look amazing!”
