Skrillex apologized on Oct. 13 for his Oct. 11 performance at Head Trip in Indio, California, saying the set and sound were poor and offering no excuses. He later shared a remix of Danny L Harle and PinkPantheress’ “Starlight,” made with Dutch duo ring noord; details about the festival’s technical problems and the remix’s release plans were not provided in the report.
Skrillex apologized on Oct. 13 for his performance and sound at Head Trip, a one-time electronic music festival held Oct. 11 in Indio, California, saying he was unhappy with how the set sounded for the crowd. He later shared a remix of Danny L Harle and PinkPantheress’ “Starlight” made with Dutch producer duo ring noord, putting the apology alongside a new collaborative release.
In a social media post, Skrillex wrote: “My deepest apologies for my set and sound at head trip.” He said he had been “having a nightmare” onstage and “hate[d] how bad that was for everyone in the crowd.” He added, “No excuses, will take the L and make a lesson of it.” The message acknowledged his dissatisfaction with the performance but did not specify what technical or other problems occurred.
A festival attendee described problems in a Reddit post, saying there were “a lot of technical issues” and the sound was “really distorted and muddy.” The attendee also said Skrillex came on late, apparently while organizers tried to address the issues, and described his energy and mixing as different from what they expected. Those details are an attendee’s account; the report did not provide independent confirmation or a response from Head Trip’s organizers.
After the apology, Skrillex shared a remix of “Starlight,” the Danny L Harle and PinkPantheress track, made with ring noord. Harle credited Skrillex’s contribution in an Instagram post, describing the track as the result of many back-to-back sessions and praising his combination of harmony and drums. The source report did not give a release date or say whether the remix was available on streaming services.
Skrillex Addresses a Troubled Festival Set
The apology is a direct response to a performance that Skrillex himself said fell short, and it gives fans his account of the experience without assigning blame to a specific cause. His willingness to acknowledge the set and say he would learn from it is the clearest confirmed response so far. The underlying sound problems remain described mainly through an attendee’s account, rather than a detailed statement from the festival.
The remix also shows Skrillex continuing to release and share music amid the discussion of Head Trip. Its collaboration connects him with Danny L Harle, PinkPantheress and ring noord, but the report provides no indication that the remix was intended as a response to the festival or that its timing was related to the apology.

A Busy Year for Skrillex
The report describes Skrillex as active in 2026, including a surprise album, SOMA, a performance at Bonnaroo and an announcement that he would appear on the following year’s Primavera Sound lineup. Head Trip, held in Indio and organized by the team behind Coachella, was described as a one-time-only EDM festival.
The reported sequence is straightforward: Skrillex performed on Oct. 11, posted his apology on Oct. 13, and later shared the “Starlight” remix. The report does not establish how much time passed between the apology and the remix post.
““My deepest apologies for my set and sound at head trip. I was having a nightmare myself up there and hate how bad that was for everyone in the crowd. No excuses, will take the L and make a lesson of it.””

Cause of Head Trip Problems Unconfirmed
The precise source of the sound issues has not been established in the report. The attendee attributed the distorted, muddy sound to technical problems and said Skrillex started late, but the festival organizers did not provide a statement in the cited material. It is also unclear whether the problems affected the whole set or only parts of it, or what steps were taken during the performance to address them.
The report gives no further detail on what Skrillex meant by saying he would “make a lesson of it,” including whether he planned changes to his setup or future performances. It also does not say when the remix will receive an official release, where it will be available, or whether Skrillex’s shared version is a preview or a finished release.
