A Look Back Skrillex's First India Tour; What To Expect At Sunburn 2024
·
·
Skrillex, the man who made dubstep a global phenomenon, is returning to India for Sunburn 2024 in Goa. But this isn’t his first rodeo on Indian soil. For those who remember, back in 2015, Skrillex lit up Indian stages for the first time in a way only he could—equal parts chaos and charisma.
In October 2015, Skrillex toured for the first time in India in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi. Organized by Vh1 Supersonic, the tour was India’s first taste of live dubstep from the man himself.
During this period, India was already in the throes of an EDM explosion, and Skrillex’s arrival felt like a turbo boost to the scene. His sets were a wild mix of his signature hits like “Bangarang” and “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites,” plus a dash of Billboard’s hottest hits at the time.
Delhi’s gig, in particular, was a spectacle. Skrillex, rocking a black kurta, delivered a set packed with fiery visuals, fireworks, and even snippets of Bollywood thrown in for good measure. At one point, Prabhudeva made a virtual appearance on the screen, shaking his hips to the beat.
But as with any great EDM show, there was a bit of madness. The Delhi crowd got a little too rowdy, leading to some shoving and a temporary halt in the music. However, despite the brief chaos, the tour was a huge success.
Now, nearly a decade later, his return is one of the most anticipated moments of Sunburn 2024. If his 2015 tour was any indication, Goa is in for an unforgettable night.
Skrillex’s influence on the Indian electronic music scene goes beyond his iconic sets. For Indian producers like KaranKanchanMusic, Nucleya, RealSuReal – Skrillex was a game-changer. More recently, events like Wreckfest have served as a showcase for India’s thriving electronic scene, featuring a lineup of producers, rappers and musicians from India.
Skrillex’s influence can be felt in the way these events, especially Wreckfest, are structured—with intense energy, innovative visuals, and a dedication to giving the audience a full sensory experience. This kind of platform underscores how far the Indian Electronic music scene has come.
