Why Skrillex Played Head Trip 2026 with No Screens

Skrillex made one notable production choice: no video screens at all.

His entire show ran on strobe lights and live fire pyrotechnics. Head Trip was already built around a "forest of light" system, with lasers, metallic structures, and lighting that reached beyond the stage and into the crowd.

Skrillex worked within that physical setup and cut the screens entirely. The crowd got fire.
