The world’s biggest DJ and critically-acclaimed producer, Tiësto, joins forces with Australian electro pop-stars Sneaky Sound System for the new single, ‘I Will Be Here’. 

In celebration of the release of the new single, Sneaky Sound System will join Calvin Harris as support for Tiësto’s massive Victoria Park headlining concert on 31st July, a first for any DJ to play this large scale London concert site on their own.  This will be another proud moment for Tiësto, whose milestones include performing at the opening ceremonies at the 2004 Olympic games in Athens, earning a Grammy nominee for his last artist record “Elements of Life” and closing mainstage at the Coachella festival in California, after the Red Hot Chili Peppers. 

The single is in line with the recent remixes Tiësto has been doing with artists such as Bloc Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Calvin Harris.  When asked about the new song, Tiësto said, “After hearing Miss Connie's vocals I immediately wanted to work with her and the band. The song is uplifting, while being a bit haunting at the same time.  I like songs that are inspirational and make you think.  At the same time, it’s a great dance track with some epic builds and breaks and is going off at the shows every night, which is the most important thing to me.”

The Sydney based trio of Miss Connie, Black Angus and MC Double D make deliciously addictive electro-pop that has been sought after by some of the hottest names in indie, pop and hip hop including Kanye West (with Connie appearing on his “Graduation” album), Empire of the Sun and Stuart Price (Madonna, The Killers). About the single, Sneaky Sound System says, "it might sound crazy, but all we could think about when coming up with an idea for this song was how it would sound with fireworks going off in the background. I mean Tiësto is 'big' and his music is 'big'. We thought fireworks... now that is 'really big'. Not long after we sent off our first draft of vocals we got a version back from Tiësto - it was on steroids! It's a proper collaboration where you get Connie's soaring vocals and Tiësto's anthemic production. It's pretty different to any other Sneaky track and we think it's amazing!"

While juggling his record breaking Ibiza residency, a grueling summer tour schedule and putting the finishing touches to his career defining new album, Tiësto is also planning the launch of an 18 month World Tour. North America will be the kickoff, with more dates around the world to be announced soon.
