Club promoters in India announced this week that Tiesto has decided to boycott Bangalore on his upcoming tour, in response to the city’s escalating crackdown on dancing.

Local cops subsequently told Bangalore newspaper the Decca Times that they wouldn’t actually have stopped Tiesto’s show because of the tourist revenue it would have brought in, though Mirza from Bangalote promoters Eblitz Inc claimed the Dutch superstar trance DJ was concerned.

“The blanket ban on dancing on Excise licensed premises in the City didn’t go well with him because when he performs, people dance,” he explained. “We couldn’t confirm to him that his audience here will be allowed to dance because of the ban.” (Deccan Herald, India)
