"I want to make it a big show like all the big singers have done. It's not just a DJ set. I've brought in massive names in production terms - Mark Brickman who produced the Roger Waters Pink Floyd show and the visuals people who do Gwen Stefani and Coldplay's tours. The night is called Planet Perfecto and the DJ booth is the control tower, the Starship Enterprise, and musically we go to different worlds. I've written original tunes for it. I'm excited. I live in LA so it's a quick flight for me every Saturday night." said Oakenfold.
