Prior to the concert on Tuesday, he has performed practice sets in villages on the way to base camp.

It was a dramatic departure for Oakenfold, who admitted he was more used to playing the world's top clubs and the beaches of Ibiza and Goa than the mountains of Nepal.

Oakenfold, who had never trekked before, trained for four months.

Base camp lies at an altitude of 5,380 metres (17,600 feet), and around 100 climbers and trekkers were there for the gig.



'It was truly amazing. I feel very lucky to have played here.

We did a wonderful event and had people from all over the world.

I feel very blessed,' Oakenfold told AFP by phone from base camp after the performance.

Base camp lies at an altitude of 5,380 metres (17,600 feet), and around 100 climbers and trekkers were there for the gig.

'It was pretty cool.

I've been here many years but never seen anything like that,' 38-year-old American climber Ben Jones told AFP by phone.

The number of trekkers at the camp will swell in the coming weeks as the climbing season gets into full swing.

Hundreds of climbers spend weeks acclimatising to the altitude before attempting to reach the summit during the brief spring window when the weather is at its best.

Top British DJ Paul Oakenfold braved thinning air and freezing temperatures to host the 'highest party on earth' at Everest Base camp on Tuesday, playing to around 100 climbers all in full mountain gear.

The Base camp lies at an altitude of 5,380 metres (17,600 feet)

The 53-year-old artist, who trekked for ten days to reach base camp, mixed his beats on a makeshift stone stage set against the spectacular backdrop of the world's highest mountains.

With brightly coloured Tibetan prayer flags fluttering overhead, climbers and trekkers danced as best they could in their heavy hiking boots and thick down jackets.

A row of F18 fighter jets are pictured on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson.

The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, the guided-missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer and the guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain are pictured in March, 2017.

The USS Carl Vinson has now sailed to North Korean peninsula.

North Korea has called the US aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson dispatch outrageous.

North Korea has warned it is 'ready to react to any mode of war desired by the U.S.'

The Chinese army has deployed 150,000 troops to the Yalu River Bridge at the North Korean border in anticipation of a wave of refugees from North Korea if war breaks out.

Meanwhile, the US Navy has moved the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier strike group from Singapore to the North Korean peninsula.

Donald Trump has warned that 'North Korea is looking for trouble', insisting that if China 'does not decide to help', the US 'will solve the problem without them'.

The US President wrote the message on Twitter after revealing he had urged his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to pressure Pyongyang in to stopping its nuclear programme.

His warning came as Russia admitted it is 'extremely worried' the US will attack Kim Jong-Un after North Korea warned it has US bases 'in its nuclear sights'.

Pyongyang had earlier threatened 'catastrophic consequences' after Donald Trump sent an armada of warships to the Korean Peninsula.


At the same time, China has moved 150,000 troops to its border to deal with a possible influx of North Korean refugees amid fears Trump may strike Kim Jong-un following the surprise US missile attack on Syria last week.

It comes as G7 nations insisted Bashar al-Assad must step down as part of any peace solution in war-torn Syria and as US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson declared it was clear that the 'reign of the Assad family is coming to an end'.

May be it didn't met the people's taste, I still can't believe that a park of such design could be abandoned in a densely populated country like Japan

Cant even explain why they shut amusement parks in highly populated places like that, there are lots of them around the world even the in U.S.

Johnston Atoll Airport, USA




Johnston Atoll Airport is one of the most historic abandoned airports in the world.

Imagine trying to land a plane here!, Johnston Atoll Airport is a small atoll situated several hundred miles south of Hawaii, in the Pacific Ocean.


Built on a small island, it housed 400 men and had an underground hospital.

Attacked by Japanese submarines in During WWII, it now lies in ruins and abandoned.

Nicosia International Airport, Cyprus.




Prior to the Turkish invasion on Cyprus in 1974, this was actually the most important airport in the whole country.

Today it is a no-man’s land, a United Nations buffer zone from which both Greeks and Turks are barred.

Abandoned aircraft at David Monthan Airfield, Arizona, USA.



This is the world’s largest airplane boneyard, where the previous aircraft bodies from the US Marines, the US Navy, the US Army, US Airforce and the US Coast Guard now ‘lay to rest’ for scrapping, recycling or historical purposes.

A Graveyard of Abandoned Airliners at Benin City Airport, Nigeria.




These photographs, captured at Benin City Airport in 2005 and 2010 respectively, are a good example of those scenes.

In past decades, Nigeria’s airports have become the final resting places for passenger aircraft whose operators have gone out of business for a variety of reasons, or simply put them out to pasture.

These images reveal the former Okada Air fleet of Boeing 727s and BAC-One Eleven 300s.

In one image, 17 of the 18 BAC-111s acquired by the Benin City-based airline can be seen rotting away in a neglected corner of the commercial airport.

With them is a larger, US-built 727, lingering on in an equally poor state of repair.

Nara Dreamland, Japan.


Nara Dreamland was built in 1961.

It was a Japanese theme park inspired by Disneyland in California.

It closed in 2006 due to declining visitor numbers.

Abandoned mall in Bangkok, Thailand filled with Tilapia.



A mall in Thailand that used to be awash with shoppers is now teeming with fish after the abandoned building was flooded.

The New World Mall, in Bangkok, was closed in 1997 after it was found to have breached building regulations, before a fire in 1999 left it without a roof.

Rainwater slowly filled the building with water, causing a major mosquito problem in the community.

In an effort to rid themselves of the pests, the locals introduced freshwater talapia fish to eat the insects.

The fishes can be seen in hundreds.

Federal Secretariat Ikoyi, Lagos Nigeria



The old federal secretariat, Ikoyi was before its abandonment a power house for deliberation and implementation of issues that concerned the development of the country.

It was an administrative complex built by the Yakubu Gowon led administration to cater for the administrative need of the country.

When the capital was moved to Abuja, it was left to rot.

Now it houses rodents, reptiles and hoodlums who take advantage of the derelict and overgrown compound to perpetuate illegal activities.

The bodies are believed to have been buried after one of a series of mass deaths swept Paris between the 14th and 17th centuries.

“The fact that so many people were buried together, that the grave is this large, tends to show us that there was a major mortality crisis,”

“The crisis may have resulted from an epidemic, famine, or extreme fever.”

“What is surprising is that the bodies were not thrown into the graves but placed there with care,” Isabelle Abadie, one of the archaeologists involved in the excavation, told The Telegraph.

“The individuals men, women and children were placed head to toe no doubt to save space.”

Stale, but worth sharing.



Archaeologists have made a strange and rather gruesome discovery under a supermarket in central Paris: an ancient mass grave containing the skeletal remains of more than 200 people.

The grave came to light after the Monoprix supermarket company called on the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research to inspect the ground underneath its Boulevard Sebastopol store before moving forward with an expansion of its basement.

The bodies, which were found neatly stacked five deep in eight underground chambers, are thought to be victims of an epidemic that struck France at least five centuries ago.

Archaeologists from the National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP) were called in to take a look and have spent days tirelessly uncovering the bones.
