Kaskade has stepped in to replace Tiësto as the Super Bowl’s first-ever in-game DJ this coming weekend.Tiësto had been due to perform a set as part of the Super Bowl LVIII, which will take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday (February 11).As well as spinning tracks for the thousands of fans at the stadium during the warm-up for the huge sports event, the trance artist was to remain in place to play brief sets in the breaks featured within the game.However, Tiësto took to social media last night (February 8) to announce that he had been forced to pull out.“Me and my team have been preparing something truly special for months, but a personal family emergency is forcing me to return home Sunday morning,” he wrote.“It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first.”Tiësto added: “Thank you to the @NFL for the collaboration and looking forward to working with them to deliver something incredible together in the future!” You can see the post below.Me and my team have been preparing something truly special for months, but a personal family emergency is forcing me to return home Sunday morning.
