EDM kingpin DJ Khaled has been taken down a peg.
The US producer and DJ delivered a disastrous set at Las Vegas’ Electric Daisy Carnival festival on Sunday night (US time), with fans reacting angrily after sound issues plagued his performance.

For his part, Khaled elected to point the blame at the mysterious ‘they’ in charge of the festival stage, accusing ‘them’ of sabotaging his set by making him wait for 90 minutes backstage before letting him loose in front of the crowd, even though sound issues persisted.
It certainly wouldn’t be the first time a festival’s sound set-up has gone wrong, but it did give us this amusing footage of Khaled in an anti-authoritarian mood, declaring “This is California!” to introduce his biggest hit… even though Las Vegas is in Nevada.
Better luck next time, Khaled.
