SEATTLE — A Grammy Award-winning electronic DJ and producer could be making his way back to Seattle after more than a decade.
Skrillex, best known for his songs “Bangarang” and “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites,” has teased a show at Gas Works Park.
On July 17, he posted on X: “Seattle?”
Fans went crazy, with the post even catching the attention of Alaska Airlines, which commented with ants and mosquitoes emojis, mimicking the movement of dancing.
On July 29, Skrillex posted a photo of Gas Works Park on his Instagram story and on X.
