ANNOUNCEMENT · JUL 30, 2026 · 5 ARTISTS

Skrillex announced this one on an Instagram story on July 30. Five acts, one stage, Gas Works Park, Saturday August 29, 21-and-over. Presale opened August 5 and general tickets went up the next morning through AXS. It’s his first Seattle set since he headlined Bumbershoot in 2012, per MyNorthwest, and the city has the day permitted for about 10,000 people, which puts it at the top end of what the park has held for a dance show.

Don’t read that as him taking a warm-up slot. It’s one stage and six hours, his name is on top of the poster, and “from the beginning” is not how anyone describes a 45-minute opener. The likelier read is multiple sets across the afternoon, or him back to back with the others for long stretches of it. He didn’t say which, and nobody official has either.

The full set times are still not out. No running order came with the announcement, and neither the official event page nor AXS has published one. That story is the only piece of the schedule anyone has put in public. Get there at 3 and you won’t miss him. Past that, nobody knows.

What’s already fixed:

  • The official page lists doors and music at 3 PM. The city permit for the park runs noon to 9 PM, and 9 is when the lawn empties.
  • One stage, five acts, roughly six hours. Nobody has to pick between rooms.
  • Skrillex headlines and Porter Robinson is the other name carrying the ticket, with Dylan Brady, underscores and Nick León under them. The official page lists all five alphabetically, so nothing published yet says who plays when.

One thing worth planning around: sunset in Seattle on August 29 is 7:57 PM, and the park empties at 9. Whoever closes gets the only hour of the day where the lights read against a dark sky, and everybody before them plays in daylight. On this same park permit in July, Day Trip’s closer ran 7:30 to 9. That’s the shape of the evening. Whether Skrillex has that last hour as well as the first one is the open question, and until somebody publishes a grid it stays one.

Bookmark this page and you’ll have the rest of the running order the hour it’s official.
