Deadmau5 Pays Tribute to Avicii During Emergency Ultra 2014 Set
Despite being Ultra's marquee time slot, Saturday night's headlining set felt like it might never happen. First, Avicii was forced to pull out of the festival after having his gallbladder removed at a Miami hospital. Then, with Deadmau5 set to save the day, the festival was briefly suspended as the skies over Biscayne Bay split open and dumped rain on downtown Miami.
But rainstorms in South Florida often disappear in a snap, which this one did. Deadmau5, his trademark mouse helmet a silhouette against the Main Stage's massive light apparatus, walked to the DJ booth at 11pm sharp, and proceeded to play a low-stakes set that thrilled the crowd possibly because it was inherently accidental.
