Whilst touring South America earlier in the autumn, Paul van Dyk became the recipient of a prestigious Las Lunas Del Auditorio Award.
One of Mexico’s highest musical accolades, the Awards highlight the best in live shows & performances from across the musical range. Now in their 14th year, they include rock, pop, dance, musicals and ballet categories. Previous winners, across its gamut, have included U2, Buena Vista Social Club, Paul McCartney, Cirque du Soleil, Depeche Mode, Shakira and others.
Receiving the award for this year’s Best Electronic Music Performance the trance legend said he was both “thrilled” and “thoroughly honoured” – going on to thank his “loyal Mexican fans for their endless passion and support”. Taking this year’s title, van Dyk saw off stiff competition from fellow 2015 category nominees, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and NERVO.
