This last-minute show expands Skrillex’s U.S. summer tour schedule by a third, with the producer playing a headlining set at Lightning in a Bottle near Bakersfield, Calif., this past Sunday and a set scheduled for Lollapalooza in Chicago this August.
Meanwhile, Fred again.. is headlining Bonnaroo in June and before that will play three headlining sets at the Frost Amphitheater in Stanford, Calif., June 4-6. Skrillex also made a surprise appearance during a Fred again.. set in Mexico City earlier this month.
The pair have not performed together in the U.S. in an official capacity since headlining Coachella with Four Tet in 2023, when the trio — who earned the name “Pangbourne House Mafia” after making music together in Pangbourne, England — was swapped in as the festival’s Sunday night closers after Frank Ocean pulled out of the show. That trio made their U.S. debut in February 2023 when they headlined Madison Square Garden, with the show selling out in two minutes.
Details for the San Francisco show are scarce, but the space can hold approximately 3,000 people, according to the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department.
