Star DJ Gigi D’Agostino is suing the Salzburg Electric Love Festival, demanding money for not performing – the “Krone” reported. But the Italian is currently struggling with a lawsuit from a local organizer himself.
He never performed at the Salzburgring, received 20,000 euros for it – and yet star DJ Gigi D’Agostino is suing the organizers of the Electric Love Festival. The Italian is demanding a further 20,000 euros, allegedly for breach of contract – the “Krone” reported. Now it turns out that these are not the only legal problems for the celebrated musician. D’Agostino himself has a lawsuit on his hands. The Vorarlberg organizer Walter Egle is bringing out the big guns against the DJ. “For me, what he is doing is fraud,” he said in an interview with the “Krone”. Egle booked the Italian for a concert in Zurich several years ago, and D’Agostino received his fee in advance. According to Egle, he canceled the performance almost at the last minute without giving any reason. “I was left with all the costs,” the Vorarlberger said angrily. Specifically, the amount at stake is almost 180,000 euros – not including Gigi D’Agostino’s fee. The proceedings have been going on for almost two years. “D’Agostino has his company headquarters in Italian-speaking Switzerland. That’s why the place of jurisdiction is there and everything takes time,” he groans. Most recently, racists hijacked Gigi D’Agostino’s big hitOther promoters also told the “Krone” that Gigi D’Agostino does not have a very good reputation in the industry. Most recently, the musician hit the headlines – albeit through no fault of his own. Racists hijacked his hit “L’amour toujours” and defaced it with xenophobic slogans.
