Deadmau5 recently hyped up his upcoming mega-production live show that is still in the planning phase on Zane Lowe's BBC 1 XTra show. He claimed that his show will be "bigger than Bon Jovi", which could only mean that Joel aims to bring this tour to only the biggest stadiums in North America.

When he revealed his stage plans to the big production companies, they apparently told the artist "Dude, you have the biggest balls" when comparing his tour to others. You can listen in to the full interview below, check it out:
