The Prodigy Cancels Ultra Performance, deadmau5 Steps In
UPDATE at March 19, 21:34 EDT:
deadmau5 has reached his agreement with Ultra where his set tonight will be delay-streamed right after Hardwell finishes up on the mainstage.
K. We sorted something out. Hardwell will stream his thing, then we will delay the feed and stream our show right after :) EASY FIX. @ultra

Original Story:
Due to unfortunate medical circumstances, The Prodigy will be unable to perform their closing set on the Ultra Live stage tonight. Doctors have not allowed group member, Maxim, to travel or perform in Miami this weekend, thus forcing the cancellation. This was set to be the British band’s first performance in the USA in a while, which has left many fans disappointed.
To the rescue comes an unlikely hero: deadmau5. The Canadian was already scheduled to play tomorrow night on the A State of Trance stage after a Twitter exchange with the man in charge of ASOT, Armin van Buuren. He will take over on the Ultra Live stage during the very same timeslot that The Prodigy was scheduled to occupy: from 11 PM until the festival closes at midnight.
The Prodigy are very disappointed to announce that they will not be performing at Ultra Music festival on Saturday…
