Tiësto Pranks EDC Las Vegas Crowd By Pretending To Be Marshmello

Marshmello and Tiësto tried to pull a fast one on us this weekend. Amidst the mystery over the former’s identity, Tiësto hopped onstage in an all-white outfit and the Mello head, while Marshmello gave the news on the microphone. Marshmello and Tiësto managed to switch places when the stage lights were dark, apparently.

Now, this myth has basically been debunked already. The prevailing argument is that Marshmello is actually DOTCOM. DOTCOM has gone quiet on social media, and fans have noted that both DOTCOM and Marshmello have suspiciously similar tattoos on their right legs. Tiësto and Marshmello also have conflicting tour dates. Tiësto is scheduled to stay in Las Vegas until July 2, while Marshmello is set to traverse Asia.

It was just an opportunity to have some fun with the fans. Marshmello also brought Ookay, JAUZ, Skrillex and Martin Garrix to the stage during his set.
