DJ Tiësto from Breda will not perform during the Super Bowl next Sunday. The singer is withdrawing due to a ‘family emergency’, he said on Thursday evening. Every year the biggest artists in the world perform at the Super Bowl.
During the warm-up and the breaks, the Breda native was supposed to perform his music in the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, but that is cancelled. “It was a difficult decision, but family always comes first,” the Breda resident reports on X.
The Super Bowl is a match between the champions of the American Football Conference and National Football Conference, the two professional leagues united under the American National Football League.
Tijs Verwest, as Tiësto is actually called, would have been the first Dutch artist to show his skills during the major NFL event. The match is usually the most watched program on American television.
