Well today at AM I was welcomed back with news on 2 of our artists to be announced at multiple US festivals this summer; with one as a Pre-HL for Roo this year. If it's not obvious to you all who it is, look into it.
Oh, and alot of you will most likely be disappointed. Besides Phi of course.
Dada Life & Tiesto were quoted for the position by AC and basically replied with "fuck that" when Tiesto wanted $1.5 mil & Dada wanted $1.2 mil, I find these prices outrageous. Zed's Dead & Knife Party were quoted as well, but no replies yet that I am aware of.
I am calling bs on this. The guy played the valarium in knoxville recenetly and it didnt sell out nearly as fast as snoop dogg did at the same venue recently. The valarium holds 1,572 people. No way this guy is on a stage.

The same guy sold out PETCO Park
And last time I checked, Snoop was on a stage when he played Roo. Snoop has never sold out arenas, stadiums, etc. Maybe small coliseums.

Snoop has a much larger fanbase than skrillex. It is a completely absurd argument to say otherwise.
Well yes, but a majority obviously don't pay to see him live. Skrillex has had his fanbase explode in the past 2 years. Snoop has done nothing but maintain the same status over the past 20 yrs.
The only thing I'm worried about TruRoo, I'm personally wondering if they won't have him LN rather than during daylightish hours. They haven't done that in a long long time.
Having DJ's in that slot, that is.
Edited for coherency.

Late night would be the only possible way he would be on a stage. There is no chance that he is a true preheadliner. If he is ac/superfly loses all credibility.

It really depends. Snoop couldn't sell 1,100 tickets here in Richmond yet Skrillex sold out in a day, evidently.
really? are we discussing skrillex as a possible pre-HL? last year, bassnectar was the highest billed electronic artist at 14...the lowest pre-HL act was billed at 9. So, unless you think skrillex will be billed in the top 10 and five spots higher than bassnectar, which I cannot imagine, then skrillex will be a LN tent, as the LN which acts were 7 and 8 on the lineup last year.

They announced the Bamboozle line up the other day and Skrillex is a headliner..
He isn't a LN Tent act anymore. And in fact they also announced just last sunday that hes playing Terminal 5, Roseland, Pacha, and Webster Hall and all are already sold out!
If Skrillex is on the lineup he is on the Which Stage at this point.

I am absolutely not surprised to see Skrillex getting a high profile slot. He came to Tampa a couple weeks ago, but sold out the venue THREE AND A HALF MONTHS in advance, which is pretty much unheard of in this area. Tickets were going anywhere from $50-$175 apiece once they sold out. By the time Bonnaroo rolls around, he will be even bigger. If he is in a tent, it will be absurdly packed. With that said, I don't think pre-HL is the right spot for him. I can't imagine who he would "open" for and it make any kind of sense. Skrillex > Foo Fighters? >Phish? >Eagles? >Radiohead? I can't see it. He's definitely best in LN Which Stage, probably in the same spot Lil Wayne had last year.
Oh come on, isn't time for you to go ruin a game of Mafia yet?
For the record, GT sold out Terminal 5 and Deadmau5 sold out Roseland, who both have about the same capacity, for essentially the same price. That may not translate to festival crowds, though.
You forgot to mention that mau5 sold out 6 nights in a row at roseland.. Girl Talk was just one night...
I have no idea how big Pier 36 is, but he's playing there in NYC on NYE and tickets are $195
6,000 people.
And tickets for Afrojack @ Roseland on 12/30 are going for about $150+. It's NYE in NYC. A homeless guy playing a Chello with his weenie and it'd be an expensive ticket.
I'm going to Matt and Kim on NYE at Hammerstein Ballroom.. Tickets are only $55....
That skrillex is billed above blink-182 and incubus should not surprise anyone. To put him on par with acts such as mmj, black keys, robert plant (pre-HL from last year) shocks me slightly. Late night which I guess is possible, I could see his popularity surge putting him near the level of SCI from last year. I still think he is a LN tent, albeit likely a crowded one; but as some others have stated, that just leaves more room for me at an actual musician's show, regardless of where he plays

I am a HUGE Bassnectar fan, seen him many times since 07, but.. Skrillex is bigger than Bassnectar. Bassnectar prefers not to go mainstream and is happy with the success he has had & I highly doubt he'll get too much bigger. But then again he randomly plays 20,000 cap. arenas that sell out while Skrillex may play an 800 person club. It really just matters where you are & the traffic the area brings to you. Skrillex has a huge fanbase arguably bigger than here in the US. He's spent over 1/2 of the past 2 yrs in UK/Europe and they LOVE him there. Anyone who can sell out PETCO Park with $240 tix I say deserves somewhat some credit due to harcore fans
