The Grammy-nominated electronic music superstar has confirmed performances from July 19-20 and 26-27 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, a stone's throw away from the Civic Center Plaza, where Skrillex and Fred again.. headlined a larger-than-life rave over the weekend. ILLENIUM was born in Illinois but eventually moved with his family to San Francisco, where he attended St. Ign

ILLENIUM has grown to be one of the biggest names in dance music. His melodic bass tracks have captivated fans from all over the world and has defined a new genre altogether. Having performed at pretty much every major festival around the world, there’s really only one place left on the east coast that he has yet to perform at. This all changes this Summer as he makes his Atlantic City debut at The Pool After Dark inside Harrahs Casino and Resort on August 17th. The team behind Fame Hospita

Just a little over a year ago, ILLENIUM debuted his TRILOGY experience — three sets, one each focusing on Ashes, Awake, and ASCEND, all in one night. The show happened just a couple weeks before the release of his fourth album, Fallen Embers, last July. Now, he’s bringing the TRILOGY experience back and you know he just had to do it in Denver at Empower Field at Mile High. We’ll have to see how he incorporates the new album into the show, because naming it “Quadrology” really doesn’t sound tha

You'll have to act quickly to catch ILLENIUM's next Red Rocks headlining event. The electronic music superstar has announced his return to the iconic open-air venue, which will happen in less than two months—and for one night only in 2024. Following his record-breaking "Trilogy" performances in Los Angeles, fans were undoubtedly excited, but surprised to see the show announced on such short notice and taking place on a weeknight. At the time of writing, ILLENIUM has not yet announced a supportin

We’re getting a new ILLENIUM album. As today’s new song, “Worst Day” with MAX appeared on Spotify, it was bundled with a few of his previous recent singles, “From The Ashes,” “All That Really Matters,” and “Shivering.” The same thing happened as Fallen Embers was nearing release. Nothing has been officially announced yet, to our knowledge, but the signs are there. As for “Worst Day,” vibe wise, it shares a lot of similarities with “Good Things Fall Apart” with Jon Bellion. The pop influence on

This past weekend, ILLENIUM debuted some new music with Nurko, remixing “Golden Hour” by JVKE. While it would be great to have a headline saying it was his first remix in years, he actually just released a remix for the legendary Nirvana just earlier this year. So, second in a while will have to suffice. Still, ILLENIUM remixes are very rare and they never fail. Check out the short clip below and stay tuned for the official release!   Photo by Alive Coverage/Sipa USA This article was fir

Fans of Illenium were disappointed to hear the news that he had to postpone his scheduled performances in Toronto. The artist took to social media to announce the cancellation of his shows at Rebel on June 30th and July 1st, explaining that he is dealing with health issues following a recent surgery.  “Hey all, unfortunately I’m going to have to cancel my shows in Toronto tonight and tomorrow,” Illenium wrote. “I went in for surgery last week and I’m now experiencing some complications t

Apart from remixing his own “Blame Myself” with Virtual Riot on the Fallen Embers deluxe album, it’s been quite a while since we’ve had an original heavy banger from ILLENIUM. The last few all saw him teaming up with Excision for “In My Mind,” “Feel Something,” “Gold (Stupid Love).” Last night as he closed out the Ultra main stage for the first time, he dropped a brand new, unreleased banger that reminds us for all the pop and love songs he puts out, he can still go incredibly hard. The song is

Just a few months since the release of Illenium’s fourth studio album, Fallen Embers, he’s back with the Deluxe version, featuring five new songs including a remix with Virtual Riot for “Blame Myself” and a new collaboration with Said The Sky, “I See You.” Among the new tracks is “Wouldn’t Change A Thing” featuring Thirty Seconds To Mars – which marked the first new music from Thirty Seconds To Mars in three years. The song has already garnered over 1 million streams and counting since its rele

With only about 90 minutes of advance notice, ILLENIUM announced to fans that he had created an animated short-film centered around music from his latest album, ILLENIUM. ‘Starfall’ is an animated sci-fi adventure, boasting cinematic imagery inspired by gaming and anime, adding a whole new dimension to the star-studded album. It’s said to “prime fans to experience ILLENIUM in person when his tour kicks off at the end of the month.” “We worked incredibly hard to create this piece,” said ILLEN

Earlier this week, ILLENIUM announced his fifth album, the self-titled ILLENIUM, would be dropping in April. It didn’t take long before he dropped his next single, as well, “Luv Me A Little” with Nina Nesbitt. After saying that he’s going back to exploring his “original musical aspirations” with this album, “Luv Me A Little” is definitely that classic ILLENIUM sound with melodic vocals, a melodic bass sound, as well as second drop that’s a bit heavier. Also today, ILLENIUM announced his mass

ILLENIUM’s fifth studio album, ILLENIUM, is just a little more than a month away now. As we approach the official release, he’s released the fifth single today, “With All My Heart” featuring JVKE. He also confirmed on Reddit that this is the final single before the album. Overall, the song is pretty simple and easily digestible, making it perfect to pitch to radio. “This song is pure ear candy to me,” ILLENIUM says of the track. “JVKE’s voice is incredibly powerful, the lyrics really hit, and

We’re slowly inching forward toward the release of ILLENIUM’s fifth studio album, the self-titled ILLENIUM. Over the years, we’ve seen his brilliant album trilogy captivate fans across the world, culminating in “epilogue,” Fallen Embers, released in 2021. We’re now entering a new era of ILLENIUM, yet the Denver artist still wants there to be a certain level of nostalgia and familiarity with his new work for long-time fans. His new single out today, “Insanity” with American Teeth, carries a them

Taylor Swift set some serious records with the release of her latest album, Midnights, including holding every spot on the Billboard Top 10, the first person, man or woman, to accomplish the feat. (Drake held nine.) So when we saw she was coming out with remixes of “Anti-Hero,” the single that held the top spot, we were curious which top-tier EDM artist she would end up tapping. Not Marshmello, not The Chainsmokers, nor David Guetta, Zedd, or DJ Snake, but ILLENIUM walked away with the plug and

A little less than two weeks ago, ILLENIUM teased some sort of collaboration with Batman, the popular franchise from DC Comics, coming out April 22. While we’re still two days away, he surprised fans with his first remix in over 2 years, tackling the iconic “Something In The Way” by Nirvana which saw renewed popularity after “The Batman” was released in theaters. The remix is slower and more akin to wave than a lot of ILLENIUM’s most recent material, making this a truly special collaboration be

This past Friday, Urban Outfitters accidentally leaked the full tracklist for Illenium’s forthcoming self-titled album, due out April 28, including track titles and featured artists. For anyone wondering, everything released since “Shivering” in May 2022 will be on the album, including “All That Really Matters” with Teddy Swims, “From The Ashes” with Skylar Grey, “Worst Day” with MAX, and of course his latest single, “Luv Me A Little” with Nina Nesbitt. The big reveal, that we’re sure Illenium

The world in the age of AI continues to feel like trial and error visions of the future. Melodic Bass artist ILLENIUM is learning that the hard way right about now. In simple words, The Illinois native received harsh critiques from fans, as he used an AI poster to announce his upcoming show dates in San Francisco. Nevertheless, the DJ decided to explain the stylistic choice and promised new artwork. AI Poster The now-deleted poster has some noticeable features that many fans disliked.

It’s been a sad week for Illenium, as the DJ/producer just shared the heartbreaking news that his beloved pup, Peanut, has tragically passed away. Any Illenium fan knows of Peanut, the adorable little Dachsund so graciously shared across social media for years. According to the producer’s post, Peanut passed away suddenly last week, and he received the news just two hours before landing in Japan. Illenium and his wife are understandably devastated, but their announcement was beautifully

Taylor Swift has been steadily dropping remixes of her hit “Anti-Hero” off her latest album, Midnights. So far she’s done a version with Bleachers, as well as remixes from Roosevelt, Kungs, and Jayda G. Tonight at 11:59p ET, ILLENIUM gets a crack at the song along with an acoustic version out, as well. Right now, the song is available for purchase for $0.69 on Taylor’s official web store until it’s out everywhere tonight, if you really can’t wait that long. We were curious and $0.69 isn’t going

ILLENIUM released his fourth, latest album, Fallen Embers, last year. Following the trend of a new album approximately every two years, we’re right on track for the next project to drop next year… and the producer has all but confirmed it’s on its way. So far in 2022, ILLENIUM has released two singles (not counting his collaborations with Dillon Francis and Said The Sky), “Shivering” with Spiritbox and “All That Really Matters” with Teddy Swims. His next single is out next Friday, Sept 16, w

ILLENIUM just teased a mysterious new project on the way. In an interview with Billboard, published today, the superstar bass DJ and producer—real name Nick Miller—announced his new recording contract with Republic Records and revealed new details about his latest artistic endeavor, which he’s set to formally announce within the next six months. Though ILLENIUM didn’t divulge whether the project is an album, he told Billboard’s Katie Bain, “I’m working every day, but don’t have an exact ETA ye

ILLENIUM has just announced his fifth album will be dropping this year, April 28. ILLENIUM will be his self-titled album, something of a milestone for many artists, or sometimes their debut. Through the years, since his first album in 2016, he’s continued to evolve his sound and now we’re going to get something pretty special. “To me, a self titled album is the core sound of who I am,” ILLENIUM wrote in a post announcing the release. “I see this album and itss story as a prequel to the Trilogy,
