Emerging electronic visionary Skrillex is one of America’s biggest breakthrough artists and has had a meteoric rise to DJ superstardom.

The UK leg of his first ever world tour hits our shores in November. See below for full details.

Sonny Moore aka Skrillex is at the forefront of a new generation of artists that refuse to be restricted by genre. The unique sound which is currently dominating dancefloors and airwaves across the globe mixes dubstep, electro, glitch and beyond.

Skrillex has been smashing clubs and festivals around the world including London’s Victoria Park last month which saw him supporting deadmau5 and performing to a crowd of nearly 25,000 people.

He has also made a name for himself as a highly sought after remixer and producer, having worked with the likes of Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Benny Benassi and La Roux.

His first independent nine song EP release Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites was released on Big Beat Records in conjunction with fellow electronic revolutionary deadmau5’ Mau5trap label.

The track dominated the charts last year on beatport, with the title track claiming to the site’s number one slot, the first time a dubstep track has ever done so.

Eight of the songs also broke into the Top 10 and multiple tracks claimed the number one slots on several of the sites subgenre charts.

Following its huge success, Skrillex is now back in the studio putting together his next album which is due for release towards the end of the year.

Having garnered a huge fanbase around the world, Skrillex will be performing at some of this year’s biggest festivals including Creamfields on August Bank Holiday Weekend and Global Gathering on Saturday 30th July.

The UK tour kicks off on 16th November and visits London, Manchester, Glasgow, Sheffield, Bristol and Nottingham.

Joining Skrillex as support on the UK leg of his world tour includes Flux Pavilion, KOAN Sound and Feed Me DJ set.

Skrillex said, ‘This is going to be an incredible tour. I wanted a diverse line-up and I wanted to showcase great music, great people and great times!’
