Deadmau5 has teamed up with Honda to be a part of his free live concert series Nov. 11 to celebrate his new album Five Years of Mau5. The concert will take place at the Knockdown Center in Queens. According to EDMTunes, the guest list for the show — not surprisingly — filled up in minutes, as one might expect with a free deadmau5 show in the New York City area. The show will be livestreamed on Honda's YouTube channel, so make sure you are tuned in for the start of the show.

Deadmau5 is a noted car enthusiast who likes to show off to his fans his various pricey toys, which have included Lamborghinis, a McLaren and most famously the Purrari that had the artwork of Nyan cat painted on the side. He also participated in the famous Gumball Rally, a high-speed car expo where the rich and famous race their cars for a total of 3000 miles, sometimes over two continents. He has also started a video series on YouTube where he interviews fellow disc jockeys and other interesting people, like Toronto mayor Rob Ford, as they go out and grab a coffee at Tim Hortons.

It only made sense with his passion for cars that Joel Zimmerman — deadmau5 — would partner with Honda, not just a carmaker for regular people, but also F1 cars as well, for this concert series. The last time he was in the New York City area, as we previously reported, the promoters decided to ban the sale of alcohol at the last minute, which led to massive backlash from fans.

So he will look to redeem himself with his fans this time around. Deadmau5 has played few gigs this year, as he has been finishing his 25-track album While (1<2) and prepping for his by all reports massive Entropy world tour next year.

The show next Tuesday will begin at 9 p.m., so get ready for a rare deadmau5 live set.
