Uninvited look-alike of deadmau5 disrupted performance during deadmau5's set on stage
At the 2025 Veld Music Festival in Toronto, Canada, a bizarre incident unfolded during Deadmau5's set. A man, dressed identically to the Canadian DJ, including his iconic mousehead helmet, unexpectedly stormed the main stage, impersonating Deadmau5[1][2][3].
The imposter's actions caused a significant disturbance, confusing festival-goers and security personnel. As the imposter squirmed around, he attempted to cover his private region[4]. Security guards quickly intervened, leading to a scuffle. During the altercation, the imposter resisted and even hit a guard[5]. However, they were able to overpower him, forcibly pulling down his pants in the process, leaving him fully exposed in front of hundreds of attendees[1][2][3].
The incident, which was captured on video and shared on Instagram by user Fred B (@fred.bk), has sparked questions about whether it was staged or a genuine intrusion. Deadmau5 himself was performing his set when the incident occurred, and the imposter's actions disrupted the flow of the show[1][4][5].
The Veld Music Festival, known as the largest electronic festival in Canada, featured artists such as Deadmau5, John Summit, Rezz, Alesso, and more[6]. Despite the incident, the festival continued, showcasing the resilience of the music community.
