Skrillex playing Glastonbury

[Matt42]

Ok so is he actually playing his own set somewhere ? Or is he just guesting with someone else. It would be nice if he was on somewhere after the stones so I could actually go and see him.

Thanks

[Apone]

I hate to be rude but if you read the thread your question would have been answered...

[the wonderwhy]

Can I also say he may not be officially announced, he was an "exclusive" for Leeds and Reading when announced

[chestwig]

I agree. It's not for me, but I'd be much more likely to go to Skrillex than the Stones

[dcsessions]

He did the essential mix last night and if I'm honest it wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be. Still can't see why he's such a phenomenon or deserving of an essential mix though. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b022dv8x

horrible music.

an insult to call it dance music, really.

its for rock fans who dont actually like dancing.

[Shutty]

His full stage show based around some rotating cubes and light show is quite impressive from what I've seen on YouTube, although his music isn't to my taste but to each their own

That's all of his stage show, if it has more of this kind of stuff in it I would love to see it

anybody bigging up skrilldawg here needs to listen to some oldskool dubstep before it was ruined by unsubtle morons like him (don't wanna sound like a music snob here, but i am really so i can't help it)

suggestions (if you're interested): pinch, kode9, mala + coki (dmz), shackleton, cyrus, burial etc

To be honest I think people are getting a little bored of wubbyness; I think with the breakthrough of Disclosure, the success of Rudimental and singles by Duke Dumont and Chris Malinchak there appears to be a notable shift towards ambience and melody which I think is a great thing as it means producers have to work harder in making hooks and better written songs.

That track listing for the essential mix looks horrible

[Verbal]

I really like Kode9, Burial, Horsepower Productions, Joy Orbison, Breakage, etc. but I also really enjoy stuff like Skrillex, Nero and Knife Party (but I draw the line at Modestep.)

They're wholly different beasts, and it's not like music like Kode9 isn't being made any more so I don't really see a problem.

Nothing played on the radio I would consider dubstep... It's dead it used to be minimal now it's just wobbly noise

Thought I would revive this post from last year rather than start a new one. I have just seen the rumour of Skrillex playing is now a Strong Rumour for the Other Stage.

Potential Headliner?

[DJL]

Where did he play last year? Wasn't it a much smaller slot? Was it a dj slot as opposed to 'live'? Anyone go, was it busy?

Questions questions.

[chubbyhamster61]

I believe that he played on The Gully in the dance village under a secret slot which seemed like quite a small stage for him. From what I remember he clashed with The Stones, I didn't see him however.

I heard rumours that he spent the whole weekend at the festival wandering around the crowd.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

He played three times, as part of Dog Blood,with Chase And Status on Arcadia and then as part of the Essential Mix.

Sounds like the same scenario as XX/Smashing Pumpkins last year to me.

Just substitute in Skrillex and Pixies.

Skrillex's visuals for the screens on the NME tent at Reading last year looked like it was made using PowerPoint.

& the "space ship" he DJ'd in looked like a w*nky waste of time gimmick.

This was a hell of a lot better than that tacky little ship ever was.
