The highest party in history: Paul Oakenfold skated under Mount Everest

The highest party in the world

Star British DJ Paul Oakenfold made history under Mount Everest. At an altitude of 5,380 meters, he organized the highest party in history in the base camp there.

Paul Oakenfold in his long career spanning over three decades, he took many people to new heights with his music, but this time he took on a very special challenge. He went away to the base camp under Mount Everest and arranged there the highest party on the planet. He ventured to extreme heights without mountaineering experience, but he is about to leave for a ten-day journey in Nepal trained for a third of the year, and of course maintained his 'concert' condition in between. All the necessary musical equipment was brought to the venue porters and yaks. Due to the high altitude and the resulting thinner air, the audience was far from being as playful, dance-inspired and energetic as at his other concerts.
