Deadmau5 Apologizes for Drunken Coachella Set: ‘I Don’t Remember a Thing’

Deadmau5 is acknowledging a weekend two Coachella set where he appeared onstage looking drunk and slurring his words, writing on social media that “I don’t remember a thing” from the performance.

The producer’s post from Saturday (April 19) goes on to say that the Friday night (April 18) set was “probably my last Coachella show.” The show in question was a back-to-back performance from deadmau5 and Zhu on the dance-focused Quasar stage, which hosts extended DJ sets and also featured b2bs from Kaskade and Idris Elba and Alesso and Gorgon City over the weekend.

“But I don’t think I had a cig?” deadmau5’s Saturday post continues, “So… that’s good I guess? Going back to bed. Wake me up around Thursday ish.”

In a subsequent post from Sunday (April 20), the producer posted a picture of his cat alongside the caption “even my cat is disappointed in me. Tho, it could be argued that she always has been.”

“Sorry about last night. Lol,” the caption continues. “TO BE FAIR, I felt the first 3/4 was great! Huge shout out to Zhu for introducing me to whisky and carrying my dumb a– till the bitter end. lemme quit smoking, do some f—en personal resetting here at home, find my spirit animal, work on some new music, and come back better.”

The ‘mau5 got plenty of support in the comments section, with fellow veteran artist Claude VonStroke writing that “I was somehow randomly at the bad part. We have all had that one bad show and it’s cool that you are owning it! I was wondering what was going on up there.”

Upcoming deadmau5 dates include his ongoing residency at XS in Las Vegas and festival dates including Junction 2 in London, Chicago’s North Coast and Elements in Pennsylvania.
