Get ready to strap on your mau5head and rush to the dancefloor, Beijing EDM fans, for Canadian electronica titan Deadmau5 is set to perform at One Third on May 3, a mere 10 days away.

The Gongti nightclub announced the set, organized by Live Nation, earlier this afternoon (Apr 23) via its official WeChat channel, and aside from plenty of colorful gifs and photos of the famed DJ and producer's signature oversized mouse headgear, the post also featured an official poster for the show (see below)

Making the announcement so shortly before the set is sure to surprise many fans, but they'll more than likely clear their calendars for it. That's of course because Deadmau5, real name Joel Zimmerman, has risen to the very upper echelon of dance music, thanks to hypnotic smash hits like "The Veldt", "Ghosts n' Stuff", and "Aural Psynapse". He's also been nominated for six Grammys.

Apart from his successes in terms of record sales and awards, Deadmau5's famed headgear and bombastic stage setups have also gained wide renown. Fans have been known to sport Mickey Mouse-esque mau5heads of their own at his shows, which of course can be cribbed off of Taobao if you've yet to acquire your own. For example, try the ones below and hope that they're delivered before the big day.

Deadmau5 is no stranger to China, having played Shanghai previously, but this will be his first Beijing show (which at time of writing had not yet been announced on his official website: live.deadmau5.com). He'll also hit up Shanghai on Apr 29 and 30 before moving through Asia and onto the US.

Deadmau5 will perform at One Third nightclub on May 3. Early bird tickets cost RMB 180. For more information and tickets, click "Read more" or scan the QR code on the poster above.
