The best part of the performance was watching the audience’s reaction. They were truly amazed by its scale, making it one to remember for years to come.

3. THE LIGHTS

Illenium is one of the greatest names in electronic dance music, and his latest tour, “Ascend,” encapsulates everything that has defined him over the past few years. The show serves as both a celebration of all Miller has accomplished to this point and also serves as an expression of his intense desire for collaboration.

He’s a DJ that blends heartfelt melodies and thundering bass to craft emotionally stirring tracks. Couple this sound with his captivating stage presence, and you get an experience that leaves audiences in awe.

The show started off with William Black’s bass-heavy set that made you want to dance along to every beat. More rave-centric than his predecessors, Black threaded his tracks with hope and hype, demonstrating that bass can be beautiful when combined with melody.

After Black, Dabin took the stage and brought down the house with his always emotional music, gripping audiences with soaring melodies and uplifted synths. His tracks often echo those found on Sayonara Wild Hearts’ soundtrack, making for an unforgettable live experience you don’t want to miss.

At times, there were plenty of lasers, flames and streamer cannons throughout the show that were certainly a show-stopper; however, it was truly the music that stole the spotlight. As I looked across the crowd I noticed an array of emotions from barely controlled joy to heartfelt tears.

One of the highlights of the show was when Illenium brought out his longtime collaborator, Said The Sky. This man has been an integral part of Miller’s career since they both attended UCO Boulder’s music-business program together.

When Said The Sky joined Illenium on stage, it felt like a full band was performing. Combining Illenium’s talent and Said The Sky’s guitar playing made for an intensely rock-infused set that many wouldn’t expect.

Fans were in awe as Illenium showcased his guitar skills during one of their performances, giving them a newfound respect for his abilities. While they knew he had the capacity to do so from previous performances, seeing it live provided many with an unforgettable moment.

4. THE ACTS

Illenium’s music is renowned for its blend of powerful melodies and driving bass. This signature sound has helped him reach new heights in his career, earning him an RIAA gold album and two Top 10 Billboard charted hits.

His latest album, Ascend, continues this trend. The tracklist contains both classic hits that will be familiar to his fans as well as some brand-new tracks that are sure to become classics in the future.

Recently, Miller revealed to Conscious Electronic his upcoming tour will include a full live band including David Scott (aka Day), Said the Sky on keys and drums, Dabin back on stage to perform guitar solos, and Annika Wells singing lead vocals. All these talented artists have collaborated before on previous releases and promise to bring their unique styles and energy to the stage.

On December 7, Illenium will launch their tour at Staples Center in Los Angeles with 20,000 eager fans eager to see them perform. As the lights dimmed and a slow guitar riff echoed throughout the stadium, anticipation built among everyone.

As Illenium entered the stage wearing a stunning Fender Telecaster, his fans erupted with screams that conveyed that this artist is more than an electronic musician to them. While his DJ equipment was heavily utilized throughout the show, he added power and performance through live instrumentation – something else which sets him apart from other artists who don’t typically do this.

With that being said, Illenium did an impressive job of getting the crowd up on their feet with his powerful beats and energizing vocals. Not only that, but he also took his visuals to new heights.

One of the most captivating elements of the set was that it displayed a stream of social media comments. This served to remind viewers they’re not alone and others have experienced similar things.
