Witness Skrillex’s Mothership Tour 6/9 And Win A Pair of Tickets from Us

by | Jun 5, 2014 | MUSIC

Skrillex and friends are coming to RVA’s Browns Isle next Monday thanks to the good folks at Steez Promotions and it’s sure to me a hot, sweaty, sticky mess at 130 BPMs.


Skrillex and friends are coming to RVA’s Browns Isle next Monday thanks to the good folks at Steez Promotions and it’s sure to me a hot, sweaty, sticky mess at 130 BPMs.

We wrote about this show and picked it as one of our “Shows for the Week,” we’re that pumped for it.

Here’s what we said:

It’s time for all the old sticks-in-the-mud to give in and accept the healing powers of brostep. Skrillex is equally popular with party-happy teenagers and DJs in strip clubs, and that’s got to mean something. Admittedly, I’ve always been more into the cerebral branches of the dubstep genre–Burial, Kode 9, Digital Mystikz, that kind of stuff–but I have to give Skrillex props for recruiting A-list guest stars like Chance The Rapper and G-Dragon for his new album, Recess. Plus, there’s a song on it called “Fuck That,” which is actually kind of a banger, AND it starts with a track called “All Is Fair In Love and Brostep.” Fuck it, this dude’s OK by me. And if you’re the sort of person who can spend a Monday afternoon on Brown’s Island dancing your ass off under the hot summer sun, hopefully covered in dayglo body paint and waving a hula hoop in the air, he should be a good bit more than OK by you too.

You can guarantee yourself a ticket by buying some here.

Beyond that, we’ve got a few tickets to give away to Monday’s show, so click through the widget below and keep an eye out for an email from us on Sunday as that’s how we’ll notify the winner.

Thanks for reading, folks!
