“DON’T BE SHY” TO OBSESSED OVER TIËSTO & KAROL G’S COACHELLA PERFORMANCE, WE DO TOO

It’s the first weekend of Coachella 2022 and Tiësto is making a phenomenal comeback. The Dutch DJ and house music legend has teamed up with Colombian sensation Karol G to perform their history-making hit “Don’t Be Shy” and “The Business”.

Headliner Karol G just performed “BICHOTA”, when suddenly the stage opens up and a huge Aztec-inspired DJ station rises out of the stage revealing Tiësto’s name in blinding lights. The beat of “Don’t Be Shy” starts booming over the stage as Karol hits the first notes and the crowd goes wild!

This upbeat and simple dance tune wrote history in 2021: It’s the first English song ever for Karol G, and the first Latin Artist collaboration for Tiësto. A match made in the electro-dance house heavens blessed us with the soundtrack to many memories of hot summer parties.

When the last la la la from “Don’t Be Shy” died down Karol G exits the stage and the dancers rearrange, leaving the DJ in the spotlight. All eyes are on Tiësto as he hypes up the crowd and “The Business” fills the air with ecstatic tension. It continues to build, the crowd almost static with anticipation when the beat drop hits, and everyone goes crazy.

After the Coachella performance, it’s easy to see how “The Business” has managed to dominate the charts worldwide since its September 2020 release. It was even nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Recording at the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards.

This performance marked Tiësto’s return to the Coachella main stage, after being the first-ever DJ to close out the stage in 2009 and again the following year. It’s the perfect opportunity to stir some noise for the release of the third single from his upcoming album, “The Motto” with Ava Max, which is out now. Pop some champagne bottles to that!
