It looks like Skrillex is returning back to Miami in March! We’re not sure exactly what capacity he will be returning just yet. The news came about and started rapidly circulating after Ultra Music Festival wished the producer a happy 37th birthday. He then quoted the tweet and said “See you in March” with the chick-hatching emoji.
At this point, Skrillex is not on the Ultra lineup and there is no surprise slot being teased either. Could Skrillex be a huge Phase 3 shocker? Another avenue for him to appear at Ultra would be alongside Four Tet, who will join Solomun for his Diynamic takeover of the Megastructure.
We’d have to assume that the chick hatching emoji was used because Skrillex recently wiped all social media and left one photo of his own hair, that was recently cut, on the floor. Something’s brewing and something magical is about to come out in March. Hopefully we hear of some teasers to make the time go by faster! We’ll let you know as soon as possible once more info about his legendary return to the iconic festival and for 2025 festival season!
As we’re typing this up, he has tweeted some more!
“if you like my music leave me your email at: skrillex.com/FUS and i’ll send you some things – Sonny Moore”
If you head over to the website, there is a spot to enter your email address. Nothing yet has hit our inboxes. We’re also very curious as to what the “FUS” might be or stand for.
This seems very similar to what Skrillex did in 2014 with his Recess album. Skrillex masterfully employed viral marketing to generate hype and anticipation for his 2014 album Recess. He began by dropping cryptic clues and hints on social media, sparking curiosity and fueling speculation among fans. Then, Skrillex launched a unique mobile app called “Alien Ride,” which gamified the album release. The app featured a spaceship dodging asteroids, and as players progressed, new tracks from Recess were unlocked. This interactive experience created a sense of exclusivity and urgency, driving further engagement. Simultaneously, Skrillex partnered with popular YouTubers and social media influencers to leak snippets and teasers, amplifying the album’s reach exponentially. This multi-faceted viral campaign culminated in a surprise album drop, catching fans off guard and generating massive buzz across the internet.
