Skrillex will perform a five-hour set at Red Rocks this May

Skrillex returns to Red Rocks after 2 years for a 5-hour marathon.

Skrillex, the groundbreaking electronic music producer and DJ, will return to the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater on May 13, 2025, marking his first performance there in two years. This much-anticipated show is generating excitement among fans who have followed his career and the special bond he has with the iconic venue.

Skrillex, born Sonny Moore, initially gained fame as the lead vocalist for the post-hardcore band From First to Last before transitioning to electronic music. His debut in the EDM world began in the late 2000s, quickly making waves with his unique blend of dubstep and electronic influences. His EPs, My Name Is Skrillex (2010) and Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (2010), were key in popularizing dubstep, helping him rise to international stardom. Over the years, he’s become a defining figure in electronic music, earning multiple Grammy Awards and pushing the boundaries of sound.

Red Rocks has been an important venue in Skrillex’s career. His history with the amphitheatre dates back to 2014 when he performed there as part of his Mothership Tour. The two-night event was an unforgettable experience, filled with high-energy performances and surprise guest collaborations, such as appearances from Pusha T, RL Grime, and What So Not. Those shows solidified Skrillex’s connection with the venue, making his Red Rocks performances some of his most memorable.

In April 2023, Skrillex made his highly anticipated return to Red Rocks for an unprecedented five-hour set. This show was his first performance at the venue since 2014, and it was nothing short of legendary. The night started with an intimate DJ set among the crowd, setting the stage for the epic experience ahead. Over the course of five hours, Skrillex played a mix of his unreleased tracks, fan favorites, and even revisited songs from his past, including a stunning rendition of “Emily” from his former band’s 2004 album. The night became an immersive journey for fans, offering a rare chance to hear Skrillex’s full range of creative exploration.

Now, as Skrillex prepares to return on May 13, 2025, anticipation is high for what he will bring to the stage this time. With his history of delivering electrifying performances at Red Rocks, fans can expect an unforgettable night of cutting-edge electronic music. Though details about the setlist and special guests remain under wraps, Skrillex’s evolution as an artist suggests that this show will be no ordinary concert.

For those lucky enough to attend, this performance will be more than just another gig — it will be a continuation of Skrillex’s legacy at one of the most iconic venues in the world, and a celebration of his lasting influence on the electronic music scene.
