When Darude was invited to DJ at TwitchCon, many of his fans were anxiously awaiting him playing “Sandstorm” and continue living out one of their favorite memes.
The set kicked off just as planned with a packed crowd, but things began to go astray when Darude didn't play his hit song “Sandstorm.” According to Mike Diva, fans began to angry that Darude wasn't playing the song that landed him that gig.
@KhailAnonymous You're not out of line at all. The only reason he played TwitchCon was the Sandstorm meme and he didn't even play Sandstorm

Fans began to grow more and more upset and even booed Darude.
@Darudevil @mikediva I've just never heard booing at EDM. Maybe just lesson learned? pic.twitter.com/4ZK8VeLKqZ
