Another day, another deadmau5 Twitter story. Sorry guys but the dude makes news a lot. Today the Mau5 started things off on a positive note teasing the return of his epic beloved Cube stage production. Evidently last summer’s dome was a “production band-aid” and not the next evolution of Deadmau5 stage production we all thought it was. Oh yeah, and that long forgotten Entropy tour? It has a new name and is about 40% done, and we imagine this new cube will be part of it.
Mau5 some thingie was just sorta a “production bandaid” so I could knock out some live shows last year https://t.co/24NnU1s4lr

Thinking about getting @taittowers on board to help engineer the cube 😉 once that’s done + music… Then I’ll tour like a madman

While the dome was cool, the Cube is one of the most iconic pieces of stage production in dance music history and fans would love to see it return. From the looks of it, the Cube might be in for a redesign.
Oh it can be re-engineered 😉 https://t.co/nn1kGtsZvn

Sadly, this exciting tidbit was forgotten when Deadmau5 sarcastically announced he would not be playing EDC Vegas this year. It devolved into a bit of a battle with Insomniac CEO Pasquale Rotella. In the end Pasquale, always the nice guy in the EDM world, noted that fans would love to see him at EDC but it is unlikely Mau5 would accept the invitation to play.
Spoiler alert: not playing edc.

Nah. I just prefer to put myself in environments that don’t consist of the same fucking thing over and over again. https://t.co/xMLWe3dzl1

@deadmau5 you speak like we tried booking you 😂

@PasqualeRotella you reply like I give a fuck.

@deadmau5 I know you don’t. It’s unfortunate cause you have plenty of fans that would like to see you.

Oddly enough Paavo from Above & Beyond joined the chorus and backed up Deadmau5 on the point that bigger is not always better, bemoaning the corporatism of Insomniac’s festivals.
@_yosmeth @deadmau5 bigger is not better. Especially when EDC no longer allow acts to do their own light / visual show on the MainStage.
