As the world famous club ‘The Guvernment' in Toronto, Canada is set to close its doors for good, Knife Party and Deadmau5 were asked to help finish out its last remaining week. Unfortunately many fans in Toronto were left with a bad taste in their mouth as Knife Party didn't seem to live up to the fan's expectations.
Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen of Knife Party took the stage at 1:30am according to fans and played a 90 minute set until their time was over at 3am. While fans seemed to be enjoying the set, many fans were not pleased when “Bonfire” began playing in which the duo announced it was their last track of the night. After Knife Party‘s set was over, the fans took to Twitter to show their unhappiness with Knife Party.
Here is Knife Party's response:
Look, we're real sorry your nightclub is closing down…and opening again 5 minutes away, but we get told "play 90 mins" = we play 90 mins.

Toronto needs more PLUR…kinda surprising, given the amount of people on MDMA last night.

@ZunicandBernard that's right, you're special. you're a precious little snowflake.

@realsebastienn Oh well, go see Armin then. We've been going for 3 years, it's not like we have a massive repertoire to choose from.

@Kiiki_J a) we had no idea tickets were so expensive. b) we were asked to play "for 90 mins" and had no idea that actually meant "6 hours".

For what it's worth, we had a great time at Guvernment…apologies to all those people expecting the 4 hour trance mix of Internet Friends.

Of course Deadmau5 had to chime in:
@knifepartyinc wait till everyone finds out my set is only 18 minutes.
