Trance superstar Tiesto is coming back to the Twin Cities on April 1 -- and this time he'll play his biggest Twin Cities venue yet. The Dutchman will take over Roy Wilkins Auditorium, which has a capacity of more than 5,000.

If any EDM artist could fill those seats it would be Tiesto. While he's always played the Twin Cities' largest clubs (Myth and Epic), this is definitely upping the ante. Of course, he was the first DJ to perform at the Olympics' opening ceremony in 2004 and has played in front of crowds as large as 25,000.

In a press release, promoter Sound in Motion is calling the show "the biggest EDM event ever in the Twin Cities." The crew has "assembled the largest sound/light/laser/video set-up ever in the Twin Cities." Those are huge promises, especially coming on the heels of the insanely well-attended deadmau5 show in October.

Details: Doors at 7 p.m. April 1. 17 and older. General admission floor: $70. General admission seated: $60. For ticket info go to www.simshows.com.
