Dubstep Wunderkind, Skrillex, Announces Epic Headlining “Mothership Tour” Spanning 3 Months

Skrillex has announced yet another string of North American tour dates, meeting the mounting demand for his live experience head-on by playing venues with capacities in excess of 4000 people. This early-fall jaunt sees the young EDM producer sharing the bill with fellow native Los Angelino 12th Planet, live-production outfit Two Fresh as well as DC Moombahton practitioners Nadastrom. The Mothership Tour will showcase the first ever North American performances by UK rap/grime troupe Foreign Beggars as well. Highlights set to include two massive nights at Chicago’s Congress Theater with Dada Life and other guests as well as a Halloween gathering in Bloomfield, Colorado where the entire posse will be joined by Skream & Benga and Nero (live).

Many cities will be privy to an official after-party featuring guests Dillon Francis, J. Rabbit, Steve Duda, Alvin Risk, and numerous surprise guests. In typical fashion, Skrillex will be armed to the teeth with bass, carrying an impressive sound-system powered by 50,000W of PK Sound on the tour. Guess you’ll have to go to see what that sounds like. With such a dense schedule, it’s impressive to think that these are just a fraction of Skrillex’s 300+ performances slated for the next 12 months, including dates in Europe throughout November and December.

This is going to be an incredible tour, I wanted a diverse lineup and I wanted to showcase great music, great people and great times! -Skrillex
