Sunburn Predictions

Hello peeps,

I'm Tanmay and I will be adding to this blog with my nom-de-plume, TJ. So watch out for me. I like dubstep and progressive house. Sorry, I'm awkward with introductions. So, time to roll.

It has effectively been around 315 days since Sunburn left us high and dry last year. We have all had our share of speculation as to who may come this year. So, unlike all you people who ran on idle speculation, we decided to scientifically increase our chances to get it right. We will show you how.


  • The Headliner should obviously be on the Top 10 list of any DJ Magazine (We assumed DJ Mag).
  • Guessing that Above & Beyond have already been signed up, this particular artist (the mysterious headliner) should feature above them in the rankings. Since it's Day 3 and all.
  • That just made our life easier: David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Deadmau5. These are our prime candidates, anyone would agree to that, eh?
Here comes the fun part:
  • David Guetta will be performing in Guaruja, Brazil on the 29th of December, so it's safe to extinguish that bit.
  • Armin van Burren will be performing in Bangkok on the 11th of December and in Lebanon on the 30th. There is a massive chance that he may headline again. But, we still don't think that it will be him, obviously because Sunburn may look at someone new this year.
  • As for Tiesto, he's performing in Toronto on the 26th and Dallas on the 30th. So unless he wants to travel halfway around the world and back in such a short span of time, there is still half a chance.
  • Deadmau5. He's never come to India, let alone Sunburn. I, personally, have been dreaming of seeing him on stage and leaving possession of my worldly belongings soon after. But here's that glimmer of hope. He will be touring South Africa in the first week of December, then onto Abu Dhabi and then the UK till the second week. But here's that glimmer, there is a four day window between the 27th when he performs in Canada and 31st when he performs in New York. Now if, he can fly to India on the 28th and chill around and drink some Kings beer, he should be able to perform on the 29th. Same as Tiesto then.
Artists of Note:
  • Skrillex, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia both, have an empty slot during that time.

So our take (in order of possibility):
  1. Deadmau5, only because he's not come to India or Sunburn yet. Plus we love him.
  2. Tiesto, only because he hasn't come for Sunburn yet. And my, would he fit in!
  3. Armin van Buuren, since he happens to be touring our neighbouring countries at that time. But he's lower down the order since he's already performed here.
  4. Swedish House Mafia, big enough name now to perform as headliners.
  5. Skrillex, we were hoping we'd get Skrillex and Deadmau5 as part and parcel of Mau5trap Records on the "Ek pe ek free" offer going on right now, but anything can happen, since his slot is empty too. (NOTE: They usually roll together, plus they're both probably available. Als remember, that there isn't any noteworthy dubstep artist announced yet)
  6. Avicii has a similar Vancouver(26th)-New York(31st) situation, but if we can put our money on Deadmau5, we can put it on him too.
  7. David Guetta, not happening.
