Dutch trance and electro legend DJ Tiesto brings his live show to a close at Birmingham's LG Arena on March 20 after five staggering sell-out performances across the country.

One of the most popular and prolific names on the clubbing circuit, Tiesto has notched up countless accolades over the past decade - the was the first DJ to headline and sell out a live show at Victoria Park in London to 25,000 fans and remains the only DJ ever to sell out a three-month residency at Priviledge in Ibiza last summer, where he played to over 100,000 people.

He's remixed everyone from Britney Spears to The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and sold out a 150-date world tour, collecting several awards and nominations along the way from the Grammy's and MTV Music Awards. In short, Tiesto is no ordinary dance music producer.

His fourth studio album Kaleidoscope features collaborations with an all-star cast of the music elite, including Nelly Furtado, Kele Okereke from Bloc Party, Jonsi of Sigur Ros and Calvin Harris.

And, if the sell-out shows that took place throughout America in late 2009 are anything to go by, the UK leg of the Kaleidoscope tour promises to be one of the most extravagant that UK clubbing fans have ever seen.

The shows have been described as no-holds-barred, off the wall productions where no expense is spared.

Visuals are kicked up into another level entirely, lightshows are beamed out as if into space, and of course Tiësto's signature brand of euphoric dance reduces the audience to a frenzy.

Early booking is advised as tickets are expected to sell out quickly. They are priced £30 and can be purchased online at www.theticketfactory.com or on 0844 338 8000.
