They capped things off with a headlining show at Madison Square Garden on New Year's Eve, a gig normally reserved for jam band heroes Phish.

  • Replay Jack Ü's — Skrillex, Diplo's — NYE MSG Set [LISTEN]

    New Year's Eve is always one of the best times to go out and see live music, notably around the tri-state area, and this year was no different. With artists like Elton John, Diplo and Skrillex as Jack Ü and the host of pop stars from "New Year's Rockin' Eve," the spotlight was on music on NYE. One of those moments was recorded and now available to the world. Diplo and Skrillex took over the reins of Madison Square Garden on NYE from Phish and streamed their hour and a half set for the world to see and hear.

They recently remixed Beyoncé's "7/11." Skrillex spoke to Howard Stern last month about a variety of topics, including the legitimacy of the EDM genre, which is frequently criticized.

  • Skrillex Previews Beyoncé '7/11' Jack Ü Remix At OWSLA Holiday Party [LISTEN]

    Most run of the mill holiday parties end in everyone going home in a drunken stupor after trying to empty the bar. Only one of these parties were lucky enough to have Skrillex show up and play his brand new remix of Beyoncé "7/11" alongside Diplo as a part of their super-duo Jack Ü. Premiering the remix at the holiday party in Los Angeles for his label, OWLSA, Sonny Moore, also known as Skrillex, performed a frenetic 70 minute set, which included the new Bey remix. Diplo confirmed it was a Jack Ü remix on his Instagram, saying it was a present for Chrimbus.

  • Diplo, Skrillex Talk Jack Ü, MSG on NYE, NYC Club Scene, More

    Skrillex and Diplo are just a week away from the biggest show of their lives. On New Year's Eve, the duo, known as Jack Ü, will be headlining Madison Square Garden with the help of Rudimental, Yellow Claw and A$AP Ferg. The duo spoke with "Time Out" magazine in preparation of the show to speak about Jack Ü, the New York club scene and the aforementioned show at MSG. Even for a massive venue like Madison Square Garden, which can pack close to 20,000 people, Skrillex still holds the belief that it will "feel intimate and personal." "We don't have a real rock-star approach with security all around us. It'll be a party. We'll have lots of special guests come out," he says. Diplo adds, "You'll be hearing some of the Jack Ü songs we've done, live, for the first time. The artists we've cut the records with will be performing with us. Both of us take it very seriously; if you've ever seen us perform live, you'll know the production value is insane." He even invited the entire New York Knicks team to shoot warm-ups during their set. Unfortunately for Diplo, the team will be in Los Angeles for a game against the Los Angeles Clippers, but that is probably for the best since the team probably would miss most of those pre-game shots. Diplo gave an honest opinion on the EDM scene, proclaiming it "dead."
