Transportation really can be a hit or miss thing. Unfortunately, this was the case for Eric Prydz when he was on route to Tomorrowland 2017. While being notorious for having a fear of flying, Eric Prydz opted to take a train in order to get to the music festival. On route, Eric Prydz tweeted that “due to a personal accident” the train was running about 2.5 hours behind schedule.
Due to the time constraints, Eric Prydz's management had Afrojack fill in for his set, and was able to coordinate a police escort from the train station to the main stage.
Instead of missing his set completely, Eric Prydz was rushed to the festival at 160 miles per hour in order to make it by 12:15 pm PST.

Omg this is gonna be so tight. Getting police escort from the train direct to the Mainstage. Looks like I might be a wee bit late.

The contrast between being in a car driving 260 km/h with coppers in front, to standing on tomorrowlands mainstage… it will be weird…
