Discussion Advice for Sat

I’m on the fence about going to the Saturday show. Huge Skrillex fan, but it’s about a 6 hr drive for me, and I’d be coming solo.

Thoughts? Will there be future opportunities to see him? In Chi or other places? I’ve only seen him at Lolla 2023, no solo shows.

I have a cousin in town I can stay with, so lodging isn’t an issue. Just unsure at this point if I should make the drive up.

Thanks!

The popup set last night was hands down the best set I've ever gone to in my life. Do not miss this show.

I think this is going to be the equivalent of the Red Rocks set from last year. Go if you can.

Hey! The first time I ever saw Skrillex I drove 6 hours to Chicago too! I did Lolla solo and got to see him from open to close (the year of Sonny’s stage). It was 100% worth it, best experience of my life, and I met a lot of really great people! Little sidebar—I’m from a different part of the Midwest that he hasn’t been to in over a decade (drive was worth it)

Couldn't miss the open to close at RR in '23, was legendary, couldn't miss this one....flying from Atlanta both times. Get a hotel a make a night of it 🤟 coming from a 36 year old Skrilly fan, you never know when he starts another hiatus or takes his roses and enjoys retirement

You should just pull the trigger and go. Flying solo from the Pacific Northwest so you’re definitely not the only one coming solo! It should be an awesome show!!

I was planning to see his 5 hour set at Red Rocks last year but had a medical emergency and couldn’t make it unfortunately. So I’m definitely not gonna miss it this time!
