April Fool’s Day, a day where it’s okay to lie to mom, betray your spouse, or any other number of dastardly deeds, is having its impact felt within dance music. An internet-focused demographic, with one leg in the tech world and the other in this world, dance music fans are as prime an April Fool’s Day target as any. There’s a fine line when it comes to April Fool’s Day, though, as there is with any form of comedy. Knowing the absurd from the indistinguishably false, especially on this day, is as important a skill as any.
To help out with the vast amount of misinformation out there today, we’ve round up all of the April Fool’s jokes and articles we could find. From collabs and lineups to news stories and festival locations, the interwebs really went all out this year. Producing stories on Cat Nightclubs, a deadmau5 Comedy Central roast, a Sandstorm button on YouTube, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike going acoustic, blogs had their fun as well.
Now that everyone has the sleep out of their eyes and are aware that it is indeed a day full of lies, deceit, and false hopes, check out these jokes and decide which you like best.
