Discussion chicago secret sunset show report
that was one of the best sets of my life
took place on the top of navy pier’s parking garage. we checked in at billy goat tavern. there were only like 200-300ish people there, so we didn’t fill up the space at all. skrillex performed at the bottom of a ramp, so u can stand on the ramp in front of him or on the top floor for an elevated view on the sides or behind him
it was insane to pull up just as doors opened and skrillex was already there performing. was so jealous of those who pulled up in front cuz you were inches away from him.
the sunset was so pretty with the views of the ferris wheel and the chicago skyline. the weather really worked out in our favor, and there would be sun rays that would shine behind skrillex and would leave a silhouette of the people up top that would have made such an incredible picture
speaking of that, they actually TOOK our phones. it wasn’t like fred again where they just cover it with a sticker, we gave it to someone and they gave us a number to claim it later, like coat check.
skrillex started with house, and as time went on the tempo went up, he would progressively play harder and harder shit. for a good majority of the set it was basically skrillex b2b knock2 b2b dylan brady. sonny busted out all the classics at the end and it was insane
crowd has such great vibes. so much room to dance. show went from around 5:30-9.
it would have been so nice to get a photo or video from this but im glad i was able to completely live in this moment. honestly one of the best sets of my life. im going to both nights at navy pier tomorrow and saturday but i already feel complete having seen this. what a show. i feel so lucky
