deadmau5 presents We Are Friends Tour

Nationwide tour launches July 15th

Since 2012, We Are Friends (WAF) has been a music compilation series with the clear idea of giving airtime to fresh, newly discovered talent from deadmau5’s mau5trap label. With its 11th edition due to arrive later this year and new singles to drop from the label’s key and rising players before then, the mau5trap family is celebrating the milestone with its first-ever branded tour: deadmau5 presents We Are Friends. Headlined by deadmau5, NERO (DJ set) will support on all shows with Kasablanca, Lamorn and more friends Bensley, BlackGummy, EDDIE, HNTR, LUPA, Morgin Madison and No Mana on select dates.

The WAF trek kicks off July 15th in Philadelphia at The Met and will take deadmau5 and friends across the US through December with stops in Madison, Minneapolis, DC, Detroit, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, San Francisco, and Boston. Also included are stops at iconic venues such as The Gorge in Washington and two nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado. Look for more dates to be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets go on sale this Thursday, April 28th at 10 am local time via Ticketmaster.

deadmau5 is proud to partner with Fandiem throughout the WAF tour to inspire his fans to give back and win a chance for Friends in Miami: The Ultimate Miami Basel Adventure. In support of The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), deadmau5 fans can get involved and Donate to Win at the time of ticket purchase, in person across all tour stops, and online.

One runner up winner will receive two guest list passes to a non-festival show of their choice (General admission, backstage access not included) and a special deadmau5 merch package. Anyone that donates $100 or more and will get a custom deadmau5 lapel pin.

For the tour, deadmau5 — who is always active in the metaverse — is offering on April 26th Market Lunchin, a new NFT drop with MakersPlace, the premier marketplace for rare and authentic digital artworks. The 1 of 1 piece is part of a series of seven 1 of 1’s, with each owner receiving guestlist access to every single show on the tour. deadmau5 is also putting aside a limited number of guestlist spots for each show to offer holders of his head5 collection. All attendees at each show will be gifted an NFT badge commemorating the tour. Look for unique opportunities throughout the tour for deadmau5 NFT holders including metaverse afterparties, unlocked new music and more.
