Really? And why not????
You forget that SHM are gone and they won't be back anytime soon, so this is moot point.
Name another act that will be able to fit in their slot and have even close to the VIP pulling power that Tiesto has?
Jamie Jones...
possibly....
but my money would still be firmly on Tiesto (on those grounds)
You forget that this is a man who has ditched his "Don of Trance" mantra, is producing music for A-list rappers, started the Vegas EDM invasion and is now making more commercially accessible electro/prog house music. Mix that with his already acclaimed previous success and background, not to mention the ego of the man AND he has his toes dipped in the Ushuaia scene (albeit only briefly last year), and Tiesto is a shoe-in to fill that VIP more than any other act - apart from perhaps the Swedes - but which I have already mentioned is irrelevant.
Interesting enough I hadn't even considered Tiesto for Pacha until I saw a "rumour" on these forums a few days ago, but it would kind of make sense for both parties. Moreso than a switch to Amnesia, which, lets face it, would be a perennial step backwards for Tiesto. A previous residency to a smaller club.
Granted, Pacha is immensely smaller, but Pacha's whole pull revolves around their decadence and class and the crowd they bring - another reason that VIP will be banged out if Tiesto goes there.
Pacha + Tiesto (if it comes to fruition) = commercial win , whether you like it or not.
