After making a mark last year with The Chainsmokers, Major Lazer, Steve Aoki, and Pretty Lights, Vh1 Supersonic Arcade is back with one of the biggest names in the dance music world. Six-time Grammy award winning American electronic music producer, DJ, singer and songwriter Skrillex will be touring India from Oct. 8 to 11, performing in Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Delhi.
