This summer the electro phenomenon Deadmau5 will take over London’s Victoria Park with a huge open-air headline show. As well as his increasingly impressive live show, the man in the mouse mask has attracted a stellar line-up of support acts. The bill is cluttered with some of the most exciting names in dance music, including DJ sets from Mark Ronson, Calvin Harris and Zane Lowe. Some up and coming talent comes in the form of Nero, who picked up this year’s Beatport Award for Best Dubstep Act; and Skrillex, whose unique mish mash of dupstep and electro have been winning him a small army of fans in the States.
The event takes place on Saturday 11th June and will be Deadmau5’ only festival appearance in England this year. Tickets cost £42 plus booking fee and are currently available from Ticketmaster.
To celebrate the event, we have some exclusive Deadmau5 merch for one lucky fan! Answer the question below, to be in with a chance of winning a t-shirt, usb stick and mini-speaker.

Deadmau5 has been one of the world’s biggest dance music success stories. In the past three years the Canadian producer has become a mainstay on underground dancefloors, conquered America and even contributed his own radio station to the latest Grand Theft Auto game on the iPhone. The secret of Deadmau5’s success is a startlingly good live show. Where other dance acts are content with delivering uncharismatic DJ sets; Deadmau5 goes all out with a fully live performance and light show of retina detaching proportions.
With not long to go until his long awaited UK Tour, Deadmau5 revealed his highly anticipated new live set-up at last weekend’s historic Coachella festival. The debut production was seen by thousands, including superstars such as Jay Z, Beyoncé and Tommy Lee. The brand new L.E.D mau5-head was finally unveiled and freshly debuted tracks had the giant crowd exploding.
Lucky fans attending the UK tour dates will be the first to experience the new live show on British soil. To celebrate we’re giving away tickets to the London leg of the gig taking place Sunday 2nd May at Brixton Academy. All you need to do is email competition@shazamteam.com with your answer to this simple question:
Which city does Deadmau5 come from?
