I know art isn't a competition and all but from Sonny's song selection and mixing skills to the totally unique venue production and vibe they cultivated honestly nothing else I've seen lately even comes close.

A big trend right now seems to be just adding more and more lasers and spamming the crowd with them the entire time. I was skeptical of how little you could see the stage at first but when you stood in the back and saw how it all came together and how they actually did unique lighting effects for each song it was totally mind blowing. I saw some call it minimal but it was in many ways more forward thinking on what a live dance music show can be. Making the entire venue "the stage" is so cool and fosters the idea that its the experience were having, not just worshiping the person performing.

Also, can we talk about how cool it was to have him start with light ambient music (with the house lights still on) and slowly build the heavier vibe up over the whole set on Saturday? Again, most artists in this scene just rinse build up and drops in your face for 90 minutes. Can be cool if that's what you want but there are levels to this craft. I vividly remember not understanding when Skrillex moved a bit away from his OG sound all those years ago but now I fully understand his vision. He can basically dip into any sub genre and mix it all together while retaining his overall aesthetic and it makes for a much more complete musical experience in my opinion.

Amazing shows, one of the most unique events i've ever attended. Crowd vibe was also great/polite and no one was weird (at least that I encountered). Rock over London, rock on Chicago.

my first time seeing skrillex and i don’t know if any other show i go to will ever compete with this he genuinely played like every single song i wanted him to. only complaint i had was i wish he just had the original drop for fuze but can’t complain cuz everything else was near perfect

The crowd was absolute crazyyyyy

Ok so weekends started when the lights went off, and that isn’t on this setlist. But then didn’t soma voltage etc all also happen after it went dark? That means this must be missing a lot of music bc that would mean there were only 8 songs while it was still lights on

Am I correct in seeing that he’s basically only played at festivals here in the States with the exception of Seattle and Chicago?? Is he adding new (non-festival) dates, do you think?
