Pete Tong hails Lady GaGa 'coup'

Pete Tong has defended his decision to book Lady GaGa for a slot at his Wonderland residency at Ibiza nightclub Eden.

The DJ told The Sun that he was excited about having the 'Just Dance' singer perform at the event.

Tong said: "Having Lady GaGa is a real coup. It will be a real moment for Ibiza. Everyone thinks it's a strange choice, but I've done my homework with her. I don't think it's that unusual.

"She made it known to her crew that she wanted to do a show for the people in Ibiza. I've always been trying to get something out of the ordinary."

He added: "Quite often they agree to do it but they won't let you announce it until a week before and usually they pull out at the last minute.

"This year she's signed up for it, we've gone over it in minute detail and she's let us announce it. Obviously she could still fall over and break her arm but I hope she's gonna be there!"
