Skrillex has revealed that tickets to his surprise show with Fred Again.. and Four Tet in New York this weekend have sold out within minutes.
The trio, who played three last minute gigs in London last month, are set to make their debut in Madison Square Garden on Saturday (February 18), with tickets made available yesterday (February 15). Today, Skrillex took to twitter to disclose that the three-headliner concert sold out in 20 minutes, before correcting that number in a follow up tweet.

During their London shows the trio showcased a host of tracks including recent single ‘Rumble’ along with further songs featuring Missy Elliott and Beam, all of which will feature on Skrillex’s new album ‘Quest For Fire’ which is set to drop this Friday (February 17).
Earlier this week, Skrillex shared a list of track names and collaborations with many fans assuming this will be the tracklist for ‘Quest For Fire’. It included the previously released ‘Rumble’, ‘Xena’ and ‘Leave Me Like This’ alongside 2021 singles ‘Butterflies’ with Four Tet and Starrah, ‘Too Bizarre’ with Swae Lee and Siiickbrain and ‘Supersonic (My Existence)’ with Noisia, Josh Pan and 100 Gecs‘ Dylan Brady.
