"ATHENS, 9 August –Tiësto, twice voted the #1 DJ in the world by DJ Magazine, will make Olympic history on Friday, August 13, when he becomes the first DJ ever to perform in an Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games."

"In October 2003, Tiësto was approached by the Athens Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (ATHOC) for a DJ-performance of 90 minutes during the parade of the athletes, a part of the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games."

Awesome! The Olympics suck but at least now the opening ceremony should be interesting.

This kicks ass!! I was gonna watch the opening ceremony anyways (g/f wanted to see it ), but this just seals the deal, kickass! Hopefully he'll be as good as he was at Avalon in NYC this past June.

Well, if its like what happened at the 2002 Opening Ceremony, Bob Costas and Katie Cuiric will just blab on about shit while its going on, not letting me hear anything.

45 minutes of Tiesto and 45 minutes of Lisa Lashes would be Heaven.

"Tiësto will perform his DJ-set live in the Olympic Stadium in Athens. This will include new tracks produced especially for the Opening Ceremony and songs that have been tailored to compliment the spirit of the Ceremony."

This could very well be the first sporting event soundtrack that doesn't suck. If they release it that is.

Three Drives: Greece 2004?

The original Greece 2000 was one of my favorite songs in 1998, this would definitely fit. Or I could imagine Tiesto doing something similar to his concert last year - where he had different songs tailored to the different continents, with different lighting and backgrounds for each of them.

DAMN!!! I should have bought those tickets when I could. I don't really like the modern Olympics but the opening ceremony will be awesome.

That would be perfect wouldn't it? Can he top the Man With No Name remix though.
