Paul van Dyk will miss his originally scheduled gigs this year at Miami Music Week as a result of the injuries sustained from his scary fall during his mainstage set at A State of Trance 750 in Utrecht, Holland.
Van Dyk was originally slated to play at Space on March 19 with Chris Bekker and Friends. That show has been replaced with a Paul van Dyk tribute show of sorts, featuring Aly & Fila, Ben Nicky, Alex M.O.R.P.H., and Kyau & Albert, who all collaborated with van Dyk on his recent Politics of Dancing 3 album.
They will take over the Space main room, while Erick Morillo will celebrate his birthday on the terrace with a 24-hour marathon set with some special guests.
"Due to Paul van Dyk's recent accident, he is unable to perform at Club Space for Miami Music Week on the 19th of March," said Club Space Miami in a statement via the Miami New Times. "We at Club Space wish him a speedy and healthy recovery and we certainly cannot wait to have him back for you. We have scheduled Paul's Politics of Dancing 3 collaborators, Aly & Fila, along with Ben Nicky, Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Kyau & Albert to perform their Miami Music Week showcase at Club Space. All tickets for the Paul van Dyk event will be honored for entry on that evening."
This news shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who has been following the updates from his team on Facebook. Paul van Dyk fell from an elevated stage on Feb. 27 during his performance at ASOT 750. A clearly shaken Armin van Buuren then got on the mic to announce that the stage was going to be shut down for the remainder of the night. He sustained a concussion and cracked vertebrae from the fall, but doctors expect him to make a full recovery to get back out to the fans with more shows and music.
