Tomorrowland: the magical world that most ravers only dream about visiting. A world coming together in the name of EDM, every DJ present that your heart desires, the most epic stage designs in the business, and apparently rationed artist food tokens. On the first day of Tomorrowland’s two weekend run, Friday, July 18, Deorro took to Twitter in outrage when the festival refused him an extra food token to gift to his agent. After all was said and done, Deorro played on a smaller stager rather than his scheduled mainstage performance.
The artist next to me is handed 9 food tokens without any problem, but I ask for just 1 for my agent who is helping me get sorted….NOPE

If you’re hungry and you see somebody else right in front of you that’s also hungry but has no chance to eat..YOU FEED THEM, you fuck. — (@Deorro) July 18, 2014
Fair enough Deorro…fair enough.
I fed over 100 families before I fed mine. Be a damn human, forget money. Help people, what the fuck is wrong with humanity these days man

Now we’re getting a bit dramatic. We’re at Tomorrowland Deorro, not starving in Africa.
I had the chance to play mainstage at one of the most iconic festivals in the world. But I care about people, and I make sure the eat. Sorry — (@Deorro) July 18, 2014
They must have had a snickers lying around somewhere guy. Apparently Deadmau5 felt the same way about the whole ordeal.
.@Deorro dude. How much are you getting paid to “professionally” operate a CD player to complain over 25 euros? 4 euros?

Deorro’s attention from Deadmau5 was actually taken pretty well under the circumstances.
But hey, I got a mention from @deadmau5. That’s actually very dope. Negative or not, he’s still an inspiration. #ShitHappens

In fact, Deadmau5 was actually one important person that motivated me to just speak my mind. The irony.. — (@Deorro) July 18, 2014
He later apologized, realizing that unfolding the whole crisis so publicly might not have been the best decision. We feel for you man. Just next time, pack snacks.
I apologize for bringing other people, other things and unnecessary shit into my rant

I’m human — (@Deorro) July 19, 2014
Went to apologize to those I was rude too here and I admit my mistake. Now it’s time to do this show. #LetsGo pic.twitter.com/NUmeY9ufeH
