ILLENIUM show was amazing!!! I was so glad that i manage to make it in time for the show as i was on a flight to Bangkok,Thailand from Singapore and my flight got delayed twice. Was flying to Thailand just to see his show and i would be saddened if i couldn’t make it in time. Lucky i reach just in the nick of time and was not disappointed by his show and actually cried to some of his songs. I would definitely love to see him again in asia, hopefully Singapore. Was kind of hoping i could meet him and get him to sign my illenium jersey but couldn’t. Thank you so much Illenium for such an amazing show and please continue to produce awesome tracks.

Illenium has been one of those smaller DJs that I heard over a year ago and thought to myself: "This guy is going to be huge for sure" because his music is so unique and explosive. He is everything a person could want in an artist. I constantly imagined what his set would be like when I finally got my tickets to the first concert I have seen of him. He delivered exactly what I wanted and more. It was an amazing light show, a perfect order of music, with amazing high and some relaxing lows. I hope everyone had an amazing a time as I did and I am so excited to go see him again and hopefully hear the one song he didn't play, Spiral, with Sound Remedy.

Oh my lord this concert was absolutely amazing. The line ups were all great!! The location was fabulous, too. Red rocks is also the perfect place for concerts like this. The sound quality was great, the pyrotechnics were mind blowing, and the light show in general was incredible. I will definitely be going to another show of theirs again!!!

FUCKING AWESOME! Good venue, and the staff was very professional, accommodating, and friendly. The drinks were a bit expensive, but eh, it's Park City. Goes with the territory. The crowd itself was very friendly, and Said the Sky and Illenium were fantastic, of course. (Please see first sentence.)

It Was A Truly Amazing Show From Dabin All The Way To Illenium Himself. Truly 10/10 Show. Can not wait to see him again. I loved how they use real instruments as well as electronic ones. It made it feel more real and more melodic.

Again Truly Loved It, Keep Up The Good Work.

A Decadence NYE Denver act that after seeing could've fit in any spot on the bill. If youre looking for a constant rage, not exactly the place to be. An artist who's melodies and vocal accompaniments can draw tears. Great great artist with a variety of sounds and great up-coming talent!

Great light shows. Great mixes. Great atmosphere. Shoulda played the illenium remix of the song "Mine" by phoebe ryan. Rush over me was legendary. Shoulda brought out seven lions. But all these "flaws" weren't super impactful. Still had a terrific time. 10/10

FANTASTIC! Ahhh, it was such a great show. Dabin, Said the Sky and Illenium did an AMAZING job for a fully packed house! Wonderful vibes all around, music and drops on point, light show was to die for. I can't wait to see Illenium again!

ILLENIUM keeps you on your toes not knowing what song is next. Annika Wells family was sitting right in front of us it was so cute seeing her run back and forth from stage. The entire show was absolutely lit!

Illenium is a phenomenon, a huge electronic music star in the sense of both his massive productions and the numbers this music generates: two billions streams across his discography, 15 million monthly Spotify listeners, 70 million streams of his May track “Good Things Fall Apart” with Jon Bellion and 250,000 tickets sold for his Ascend tour, including a date at Madison Square Garden next month and three sold-out shows at Red Rocks in October. 

See latest videos, charts and news

Born Nick Miller, the 28-year-old artist at the heart of this giant operation possesses a quiet depth and intensity that seems to serve as the origin for his emotionally (and, if you’re standing close enough to the speakers, also physically) powerful music. Illenium’s third album,  Ascend , is out tomorrow through Astralwerks, and is composed of 17 tracks that extend the depth and grandeur of the Illenium sound.

The LP features the previously released Bellion collaboration, along with “Takeaway,” his smash with The Chainsmokers and Lennon Stella, and “Take You Down,” on which the artist explores the struggle with heroin addiction he experienced earlier in his life. (Miller also posted a candid Instagram post about the song and its inspiration last summer.) He says the emotional connection his fans have to such personal music is, for him, the definition of success. Meanwhile, the Ascend tour extends across North America through December. 

Trending on Billboard

On the eve of Ascend ‘s release, we tracked down Illenium for a round of 20 questions in which he reveals his “sadboi” status, his first album and what all those giant numbers mean to him. 

1. What’s the first album/piece of music you bought for yourself, and what was the medium? The album Fallen  by Evanescence on CD.

2. What did your parents do for a living when you were a kid, and what do they think of what you do for a living now? My mom stayed at home to help raise the family, and my dad worked really hard in finance to provide for us all. They have been so supportive of my choice to pursue music. Even when I was just starting out and hadn’t seen any success they encouraged me to keep going. My family has been by my side through my darkest times and I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.

3. Tell us about the very first song you ever made. My high school friends and I made a beat and we all rapped over it. I remember it not being very good, but it was fun to create.

4. If you had to recommend one album for someone looking to get into dance music, what would you give them? Probably In Return  by Odesza, because the album is accessible on so many levels and super palatable for someone just getting into the genre.

5. What was the last flight you were on, and how did you pass the time while on it? The last flight I was on was from Vienna to Denver after playing a few shows in Europe. Usually on long flights I try to sleep or I’ll watch a lot of movies.

Illenium & Jon Bellion's 'Good Things Fall Apart' Is a Sci-Fi Adventure With a Message: Watch

6. What’s the first thing you bought for yourself when you started making money as a DJ? The first big purchase I made was new monitors for my studio.

7. What’s the last song you listened to? I’ve been spending a ton of time working on my new set for the upcoming Ascend Tour, so I think it was actually one of my own songs.

8. What’s the first thing you do when you go back to your hotel room after a show? Definitely take a shower and then chilling for a bit.

9. What’s distinctive about where you grew up, and how did this place shape you? I grew up in a lot of different places. I was born in Chicago, then lived in Seattle for a while and also lived in France before my family finally settled in San Francisco. I think being exposed to different cultures and cities helped give me an open mind and made me more willing to try new experiences.

10. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen happening in the crowd during one of your sets? At one show we had a girl break her nose on the rail because she was going so hard. Ended up giving her free tickets to come back the next night!

11. What are you typically thinking about while playing a show? I’m usually thinking about the crowd and gauging what people are reacting to and how they are responding to new songs. I’m very focused and in-the-moment when I DJ. It’s almost like meditation for me.

12. List all the places where you worked on Ascend . The new album was primarily recorded in three locations: my home studio in Denver, Rock Mafia’s studio in Los Angeles, and the studio at the Capitol Records building in L.A.

13. What’s one way you pushed yourself creatively on this project? I was a lot more hands-on with the writing on this album — actually working on a song from start to finish with everyone in the room instead of bouncing ideas across the country with people over email. I also experimented with making Ascend more than just a future bass electronic album. It has a lot of influences from rock and other genres. I like to strike a balance between not always making the same music and staying true to my roots.

14. Your visual aesthetic has a sort of apocalyptic beauty. Describe the look you’re trying to achieve, and what you hope to represent with it. I’d say the overall theme is finding beauty in dark places or experiences. My outlook on life was shaped a lot by my earlier struggles and seeing the good that can come from things we initially view as “bad.” I work with this amazing artist Stu , and his artwork reflects the cinematic feel and mood of the music in such a complementary way. The apocalyptic beauty fits so well thematically and captures the epic-ness I’m trying to convey.

20 Questions With TroyBoi: Producer Discusses 'V!BEZ, Vol. 3' & His Rising Career

15. You recently dropped a “Sadboi Anthemz” playlist. Are you yourself a sadboi, and what does this term mean to you? Yes, 100 percent. I listen to that type of music more than anything else, and it’s where I draw a lot of influence. Sadboi feels like the community we’ve built up — a little bit emo, but really electronic, and I feel like it’s a perfect fit for everyone who are fans of ILLENIUM, Said The Sky, Dabin, the whole squad. When I started writing music I wasn’t intentionally trying to be emo, it’s just what came out, and fans kind of expanded on it and created the community from there.

16. What’s the most meaningful interaction you’ve ever had with a fan? The most meaningful has probably been some of the first fans that came to me and related how much the music helped them through dark times. There’s been so many instances of people reaching out and telling me their stories. It’s awesome to see people connect to the music like that. I’ve had so many impactful interactions that it’s hard to choose just one.

17. You’re doing a three-night run at Red Rocks this October. What’s special to you about that venue? Red Rocks is such an iconic venue, not just in Colorado but the whole world.  The natural beauty of the amphitheatre is incredible. I got inspired to produce electronic music after seeing a Bassnectar show there so it’s kind of where my journey began and to go back as a performer is quite the experience.

How Selling Out Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheater Became a Milestone for Dance Artists

18. In the grand landscape of dance music, what role do you play? I’m not sure, to be honest. I try to do my own thing and make music that I love and that my fans connect with. That’s what’s important to me at the end of the day.

19. You’re putting major numbers up in terms of streams and ticket sales. Is this something you think about on a day-to-day basis? What do these numbers mean to you? It’s definitely something I regularly think about. Ticket sales and numbers mean a lot because it shows that people are interested in the music. It’s validating in a way, and makes me strive to always do better. Fans are spending their hard-earned money and I want to give them the best experience I can.

20. What does success for Ascend  look like for you? Everyone has expectations for the album and different definitions of what success looks like. The biggest thing for me is that people can relate to the album and connect to it on an emotional level. I think some of the singles that have been released have already accomplished that. “Take You Down” helped share my story and struggles with drug abuse, and after that song I saw so many people sharing their own personal stories. “Good Things Fall Apart” was received really well and I loved working with Jon on that one. It’s a song I think a lot of people can identify with. I’m really excited to see how people feel about the album as a whole.

‘Insane’ production: What to expect from first concert at Allegiant Stadium

EDM star Illenium promises a massive show at Allegiant Stadium and talks about his new album.

His voice pops like the fireworks that’ll soundtrack the weekend.

Illenium’s talking — with a palpable enthusiasm that can be felt through a phone line — about a concert truism, that a massive new venue demands a massive new stage show.

The EDM star aims to deliver as much come Saturday, when he’ll be the first artist to perform at Allegiant Stadium.

“It’s insane. It’s quadruple the size we’ve ever done,” Illenium says of the production values for the gig. “We’ve got like 75 lasers. We have flame units throughout the whole stadium — crazy pyro shots and stuff like that.

“I don’t want to give away too much, but we kind of have a special location where I’m going to play the first set, which is different than the last two,” he elaborates. “It’s going to be an evolution of the night. It’s almost like I’m opening for myself.”

Illenium’s show this week will be a one-of-a-kind, one-off “trilogy” concert where he’ll perform a set dedicated to each of his first three albums (“Ashes,” “Awake” and “Ascend”). He originally intended to take a version of the concept on the road last year, playing three nights in various cities with a performance dedicated to each record.

Once the pandemic ended any touring plans, though, Illenium focused on doing one blowout concert in Vegas.

“It’s a really unique show, something I’ve never done before with playing as much as I am,” he says. “There’s like four hours allocated, with just a couple breaks. I really get to go on a whole journey through the past with my music. It’s really special to be able to combine that into a brand new venue.”

The future of future bass

Also new-ish is future bass, an electronic dance music subgenre that came to prominence in the latter half of the previous decade, which Illenium is a leading face of. His discography, while wide-ranging, can generally be described as equally anthemic and emotive, warm-sounding and hot-blooded simultaneously, in many instances.

He explores a variety of moods, from heartache to redemption, but there’s a general sense of uplift buoying it all, dark days continually leading to something brighter.

“The whole reason I make music is that it’s healing for me, it’s healing for my community,” he explains. “It’s deeper than just the surface level to entertain.

“I created my first three albums in the trilogy mindset of the birth of a phoenix and growing and ascending,” he continues. “I’m moving on from that stage in my career, but I felt like a big, massive show was needed to give the proper send-off, the proper end to a chapter and on to the next.”

About that next chapter: It arrives July 16, when Illenium drops his fourth album, “Fallen Embers.”

“I kind of look at ‘Ashes,’ ‘Awake’ and ‘Ascend’ as this birth of a phoenix in this separate world,” he says. “Now, with ‘Fallen Embers,’ I’m looking at that same world but in a different timeline.

“The characters are kind of like going to those locations where that phoenix was present, and they’re finding embers that fell through its journey,” he explains. “The songs on the album are embers, and they’re here to heal from past history and trauma.”

An early standout among the singles released from the album thus far is “Paper Thin,” a song that broods and pulsates at once, featuring former Blink-182/current Angels & Airwaves frontman Tom DeLonge.

“I was working on this demo with a couple of songwriters, and I got into a really cool place,” Illenium explains of the tune’s origins. “And then my management sent it to Tom’s team. I was just like, ‘This is a bucket list, I have no idea if it’s going to work.’ He ended up loving it. He and his engineer re-did the verses and did some guitar work, which was so cool. I was blown away.”

Illenium will turn his focus to performing new cuts like that one soon enough.

But for now, it’s time to celebrate the past as it gives way to the future.

“It’s definitely a trip, running through my set last night, running through my first album — there’s all those songs that I really haven’t played in a long time,” he says. “It’s a way for me to take it in and be grateful. I’ll still play some of these songs here and there, but this is really the moment to let them shine one more time.”

Rarely, if ever, have so many Las Vegas performers assembled for an off-Strip show.

Bad Religion and Social Distortion, Mariah Carey and Phish top the entertainment lineup for the week of April 12-18.

The single, available on all streaming services, comes a week before the famous jam band is set to start four sold-out performances as the famous Las Vegas venue.

“Due to extraordinary demand,” superstar Mariah Carey has added additional dates to her upcoming residency on the Las Vegas Strip.

Some Cirque shows exhausted their audience. Others were taken down because of incompatible, architectural ideas.

The decision ends a production that opened in June 2006, with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison — the widow of George Harrison — in attendance.

Beyoncé has made history once again. Her latest album, the epic “Act ll: Cowboy Carter”, hit No. 1 on the Billboard country albums chart.

DJ Cassidy will bring “Pass The Mic Live!” to Bakkt Theater. Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh star in the production.

Brian Newman, an acclaimed musician, singer and arranger, is celebrating his fifth anniversary as a Strip resident headliner.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers return to The Venetian Theatre for seven shows in October.

Music Helped Saved Illenium’s Life — And Now He’s Doing the Same For Others

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

On June 29, 2012, Nick Miller regained consciousness in a Boulder, Colo., hospital room. The day before, he’d overdosed on heroin, the final act of a 10-day drug binge. Coming to, he saw his mother and the sadness in her eyes. He was 21 years old and had been sober for 15 months after time in rehab and years of opiate addiction. He’d been doing so well.

But his mom had known something was off after her son had gone quiet over text and phone. She called a friend of his, insisting they go check on him while she packed a bag and booked the next flight to Denver. The friend found Miller unresponsive, thrust naloxone — the opioid overdose reversal medication — up his nose and dialed 911. If not for his mom’s sense that something was wrong, it’s unlikely that I’d be here in Miller’s house on this chilly February afternoon in Los Angeles to talk with him about his incredible success as electronic producer Illenium . It’s unlikely he’d be here at all.

Sitting in the cave-like home studio within his large and otherwise light-filled house, Miller, 33, dotes on his dogs — the regal Belgian Malinois Grace and a small but fierce blonde dachshund whose dedicated Instagram account has 23,000 followers and for whom the house’s Wi-Fi network, “Palace du Peanut,” is named — holding them in arms covered in sacred geometry and Eye of Sauron tattoos. He makes jokes and direct eye contact, speaks in ski-bum parlance (“fire,” “sick,” “chillin’ ”), endearingly giggles and generally comes off as a person worth rooting for.

I ask Miller what he’d say to that hospital room version of himself, given everything that has happened since. His answer is immediate: “There’s no way I would have even believed the possibilities.”

As Illenium, Miller is one of the most successful electronic acts of the last half-decade, a dance music star in the fireworks and confetti tradition, but with a harder and more rock-­oriented sound and sensibility than straightforward main-stage EDM. In a genre known more for talent-heavy festival bills than solo-show hard ticket sales, he’s one of only a handful of artists, like ODESZA and Kaskade, playing venues as massive as stadiums and arenas.

Still, it’s possible you’ve never heard of him. Illenium hasn’t yet had a solo crossover hit (“Takeaway,” his 2019 collaboration with The Chainsmokers and Lennon Stella, hit No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains his highest-ranking single on the chart), and unlike some world-famous DJs, he doesn’t frequent fashion shows, post shirtless selfies or chase fame.

He calls himself “very much a homebody,” one who most enjoys staying in and working on music, playing video games and hanging out with his dogs and his wife, Lara. The two met at a festival and married last September in Aspen, Colo., not too far from their primary residence, a 23,000-square-foot estate in the Denver suburb of Cherry Hills. Miller says he only bought the L.A. house in 2021 because “I was spending so much money on hotels and studio spaces here that it made more financial sense.” He has left twice in the last six days, once for a meeting and the other time to play the second of his back-to-back headlining shows at SoFi Stadium.

These Trilogy performances — so named because they feature three separate Illenium sets over five hours — are the current crown jewel of the Illenium empire. Prior to the Feb. 2 and 3 shows in L.A. (where his team says fans bought $2 million in merchandise alone), last June’s Trilogy concert at Denver’s Mile High stadium grossed $3.9 million and sold 47,000 tickets. It happened amid a 26-date North American tour that sold 191,000 tickets and grossed $15.7 million, according to Billboard Boxscore. His fourth studio album, 2021’s Fallen Embers , earned a Grammy Award nomination for best dance/electronic album, an accomplishment that came months after the debut Trilogy show at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium helped break the pandemic’s pause on live music.

With nearly 33,000 attendees, the July 3, 2021, performance, according to Boxscore, broke the record for the biggest dance music event for a single headliner in U.S. history. At the end of it, Miller told the roaring crowd that for him Trilogy represents “my transition from a f–king sh–ty life. That was my past. So it’s just f–king crazy, this. What the f–k? This is a f–king football stadium.”

Performing from a cryo-spitting tower of LEDs on the 50-yard line was not on Miller’s radar when he started releasing music in 2014. His work helped form the then-emerging future bass subgenre, which, like the bass music that influenced it, is huge and often heavy but also simultaneously soft — like getting hit in the head with a two-by-four wrapped in velvet. Future bass also incorporates more traditional verse/chorus song structures than much of the wilder bass made by Illenium’s influences and peers — Zeds Dead, Excision, SLANDER, Dabin, Said the Sky, Space Laces — and his work also heavily integrates rock, metal, indie and pop sounds. The Illenium oeuvre, developed over his five studio albums, is cinematic, anthemic, often heavy and typically lyrically personal music that mulls deeper themes — love, heartbreak, rage — than standard dance refrains about putting your f–king hands up.

“I’m sensitive,” Miller says, and “for sure” an emotional person. For him, writing music is a form of escape, release and healing, and he thinks listeners can feel the depths he’s pulling from: “A fan who’s going through something — when they listen to something personal, it just bonds in a different way.”

This bond is a key reason why fans not only love Illenium’s music, but often have devotional relationships with it. The audiences at his shows party and headbang — but there’s also a lot more crying at an Illenium concert than at most electronic sets.

His fusion of bass with traditional song structures has also fueled his broad appeal. UTA’s Guy Oldaker, his longtime agent, came up in the bass scene of Colorado — the genre’s spiritual U.S. home and a huge dance hub, with Denver effectively tied with Miami as the United States’ highest-indexing major market for electronic music streaming, according to Luminate. But Oldaker hadn’t figured out how to cross these artists over into major festivals and Las Vegas residencies, where he says crowds usually want “easily accessible pop music.”

When a promoter sent Oldaker demos by a local producer named Illenium in 2014, “I went, ‘Holy crap, this is exactly what I think will work with this audience in Vegas,’ ” Oldaker recalls. “I know very well how to build an artist in the scene where I’ve built everything else. I knew if I could connect the dots, we’d have a winner.”

Now, after the pandemic deflated his team’s plans for international expansion, Illenium is poised for the kind of global ubiquity Oldaker has long believed he could achieve — that is, if that’s even what he wants. “I go back-and-forth on if I’d rather be a famous world star DJ,” Miller says bluntly, “or just like, kind of be chillin’.”

When Oldaker first met him, Miller was sober — and also deep in the bass scene. He handed out show flyers as an intern for local promoter Global Dance, wrote for electronic music blogs, frequented Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison and Aspen’s Belly Up Tavern and fell in love with the music and community he had found. He’d returned to rehab following his overdose and, afterward, started teaching himself music: playing piano, watching YouTube tutorials on music theory and making “like, ‘Wonderwall’ remixes and random crap, just to figure it out.”

Soon, the music blog dubstep.net voted one of his tracks the No. 1 song of the moment. “I was like, ‘Let’s f–king go,’ ” he recalls. He’d also started performing around Denver and in 2015 signed with Oldaker (then at Madison House Presents), who sent Illenium (his name references Star Wars ’ Millenium Falcon) on the road as a support act for artists like Big Gigantic and Minnesota. After a show at the 500-capacity George’s Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville, Ark., attendees bought out the venue for a second night so Illenium could play again. “And that sold out,” Oldaker says. “These were small-market shows by someone no one had ever heard of who was getting 250 bucks to open for another artist, and all of a sudden he’s blowing out some room in Arkansas.”

Miller and his team — which by this time included manager Ha Hau (also the founder of Global Dance) and touring manager Sean Flynn, whom he’d met in recovery — started putting up headline shows at smaller clubs. They decided he needed a signature “thing” and that it would be, Oldaker says, “putting so much production into these rooms that people walked out like, ‘I don’t know what I just saw.’ ”

For a 2015 set at Denver’s 650-capacity Bluebird Theater, Miller spent $10,000 on a custom metal phoenix, a symbol of his rise from addiction that has also appeared on his album covers and on the Illenium jerseys that are the de facto fan uniform at his shows. “On most of my tours, I’ve gone as far as I could with production by breaking even, or just slightly above,” he says. Flynn declines to give an exact price tag for Trilogy’s production, but says the shows are “really expensive.” They weren’t sure if they’d even turn a profit with the SoFi sets, but then “the second show crushed,” Miller says. “So we were chillin’.”

Streams, ticket sales and festival billings grew steadily as his profile rose, and his second album, 2017’s Awake , reached No. 106 on the Billboard 200 . But Miller felt a disconnect. Fans didn’t know about the personal experiences making his songs so emotionally intense, a chasm that felt especially wide when they told him his music had helped them through hard times, like dealing with addiction.

“I’ve been wanting to share something super personal with you for a while,” Miller wrote in a letter posted to X (then Twitter) in August 2018, revealing his struggles with opiates and his overdose. “I was trapped in it, had no passion, no direction and truly hated myself… I’m just sharing my story and relating because music saved my life too.” The news came in tandem with the release of “Take You Down,” a huge, hypnotic song he wrote about his mother. “I couldn’t see that when I went to hell,” vocalist Tim James sings, “I was taking you with me.”

“Watching that relationship get torn by the sh-t you keep doing — at first, it’s like, ‘Why are you on me so much, I’m not even that bad,’ ” Miller reflects now. “Then it goes into ‘OK, I can’t stop’ and then it goes into, like, “F–k everyone. I can’t live without it.’ And then you’re just breaking down.”

Making this information public initially made him nervous “because I didn’t want to come off preachy. I love rave culture and people enjoying themselves and don’t want to be the person that’s like” — he shifts to a nerdy tone — “ ‘You guys are really f–king your lives up.’ ” But six years later, he thinks his fans appreciate knowing, “given all the music that has come out of it and that I did all of this sober.”

In a realm not known for temperance, Miller says that Kaskade — one of the few sober dance artists — has been a role model who has shown him “you can do this and not be a party animal, because it’s hard. You see how insane people go and wonder if you’ll be accepted if you’re not partaking.”

But Miller is also uniquely suited to talk to fans about drugs. Last year, he partnered with L.A.-based nonprofit End Overdose, which distributes free naloxone and fentanyl test strips, provides training on how to respond to overdoses and is a partner of major dance music promoter Insomniac Events. He raised $50,000 for the organization through a fan donation matching campaign, became a certified End Overdose trainer, gave tutorials on administering naloxone on Instagram Live, provided trainings at stops on his last tour and gave contest winners an in-person demonstration at one of the L.A. Trilogy shows. Over 2,000 doses of naloxone have been distributed across these events; last September, one was used to resuscitate someone at a concert (not Illenium’s) in Kansas City, Mo. “We’ve literally saved lives together,” End Overdose communications officer Mike Giegerich says. “It’s beyond meaningful.”

Meanwhile, Miller has rather cleverly figured out a healthy (and productive) way to satisfy his own addictive impulses. “To have five hours to shape the night and do it all?” he says of the Trilogy shows. “That’s like, my psycho drug addictness. That sounds very fulfilling and, like, a sweet high for me.”

The five-hour Trilogy shows have also given Miller time to explore the direction he’ll pursue next. After his rock- and metal-focused 2023-self-titled album, which featured artists like Travis Barker and Avril Lavigne, the Trilogy sets inspired him to return to his electronic roots, and he’s working on “a lot” of new music. Collaborations with Tiësto (a Colorado neighbor Miller calls “the f–king man”), REZZ, Seven Lions, Mike Shinoda and others he’s not yet ready to name are forthcoming — not as an album, but as singles to be released throughout 2024.

Outside of scattered festival dates, he’s not touring this year, but Oldaker says, “World domination is where I think we go from here.” Flynn says the team “had a lot of steam” in Europe and Asia before the pandemic, and it’s now positioned to rebuild that momentum. American-style bass music has historically “had a hard time getting good traction” in Europe, Oldaker says, but he fervently believes Illenium could be the one to break it.

Miller’s own feelings are more mixed. He points out that his seven-date European tour last summer hit 2,000- to 3,000-capacity rooms and turned out “fire” crowds in cities like Brussels and Barcelona. He also acknowledges that the more minimal, less headbang-y European scene is “just so different,” Miller continues, “and I never bought into it. I’m not a partier. I like being home, and I don’t play that game of ‘meet this promoter so you can play their festival or club.’ I’m so not that person, and I think that has hurt me a bit in Europe.”

Still, he’d love to bring the full show abroad. He has growing fan bases in Asia (he did his first headlining show in India in February) and Australia, and his team is also eyeing expansion into Africa and Central and South America.

Meanwhile, North American demand hasn’t abated for the artist Oldaker calls “the underground monster you’ve never heard of who all of a sudden blows your mind.” Several stadiums have reached out about hosting a Trilogy show, and fans can see Illenium through September at his residency at the 2,100-capacity Zouk in Las Vegas, a club the team chose for its production capabilities. Having played Vegas since his days as an opener, Miller has learned “the game” of these shows: “taking yourself less seriously, just having fun and not trying to have a musical therapy session in a f–king Vegas club.”

While there are many goals still to reach — a crossover hit (his official remix of Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” toed the line), major mainstream festival headlining slots, movie scores and, Oldaker says, “expanding what he’s doing so people understand he isn’t just a bass producer and can do all these other things” — the imminent strategy is simple: keep building “core events,” Oldaker says, like Trilogy and Illenium’s Ember Shores destination festival in Mexico, which held its third edition in December. “Yes, we want to headline all the major festivals, but we have a great thing going with Trilogy where we can create these incredible experiences for fans to come be a part of,” Oldaker explains. “We’ll continue building it and hope these bigger festivals see the value we’re creating.”

“There is no ceiling to cap the success that he is capable of,” adds Tom Corson, co-chairman/COO of Warner Records, which released Illenium . “Nick is a career artist who can be as big as he wants to be both within dance music and outside of the genre.”

While now in a period of relative downtime, the guy whose lexicon heavily favors “chillin’ ” doesn’t, actually, want to be entirely chill. His Colorado rhythm is to drink coffee, run the dogs, tend to Illenium business — a straightforward model of “merch and music and shows,” he says — then hit his home studio. He’s also remodeling a Denver warehouse into a recording space for himself and other artists, some of whom will likely appear on the label he’s putting together. When he’s really not working, he golfs, snowmobiles or hangs with his parents, sisters, nieces and nephews who, Oldaker says, “are always around him.”

“They’re so happy, full of joy,” Miller says of his family’s take on his achievements. “We have a beautiful life now.”

That family isn’t just his direct relations anymore, but the tens of thousands of screaming fans who love him — not only as an artist, but as a survivor: the kid in the hospital bed who was about to get up and make it all happen.

Illenium Talks India Return, Rock Influences and New Music

Denver artist Nick Miller, who last visited in 2020, kicks off a three-city tour this week as part of Sunburn Arena

American DJ-producer Illenium aka Nick Miller.

Among the foremost names in future bass and electronic music, American producer Illenium aka Nick Miller has been taking his music to new places over time. His globe-spanning tour, which started last year, saw him scale up like never before with massive production and a band on stage with him.

Illenium will bring that energy to his upcoming India tour , as part of Sunburn Arena this week. The “Good Things Fall Apart” artist is slated to perform in Mumbai at Bayview Lawns on February 23rd, followed by Bengaluru at Manpho Convention Centre on February 24th and in Gurugram at DLF Cyber City on February 25th.

Illenium returns to India for the first time in four years, with his previous performance taking place as headliner at music festival Vh1 Supersonic in Pune in 2020. He says over an email interview, “Last time I was in India was only for a short while, so I am excited to actually get to spend some time in the country and experience all it has to offer!”

Although it was a short trip last time around, Illenium says it was memorable to finally come down to India for his fans. “They give me so much support online and I was so grateful to share my music live with them,” he adds. This time, Illenium says he’s looking forward to arriving a day early in India and having some time to check out more the country.

Best known for topsy-turvy, bass-heavy songs like “Feel Good” (a collaboration with DJ-producer Gryffin and singer Daya) and “Takeaway” (with The Chainsmokers) and “Nightlight” (with singer Annika Wells), Illenium released a self-titled album in 2023 that served as a thematic prequel to the stories and concepts guiding his visual and sonic aesthetic on the first three albums – Ashes, Awake and Ascend .

On the collaborations front, it built on the producer’s love for rock and metal. Where the 2021 album Fallen Embers had included collaborators like Blink-182’s Tom Delonge (“Paper Thin”) and metalcore act I Prevail (“Feel Something”), the self-titled 2023 album brought in Avril Lavigne and Travis Barker, Spiritbox and All Time Low. He says about the latter two, “I am a huge fan of both those artists! It was such an honor being able to collaborate with them (along with all the other artists on the album). I grew up listening to that type of music so it was a ton of fun working with both of them.”

Among the lead singles of the album was “Eyes Wide Shut” with Lavigne and Barker – one that placed familiar pop-punk hooks and lyrics over Illenium’s electronic style. He looks back at the album and says he’s very proud of how things were received. “I wanted to create something that would translate well to a live band playing it on stage and I think it succeeded at that. I was able to work with some of my favorite artists on it and I’m still stoked with how well it turned out,” Illenium says.

The wish list of collaborators, however, still remains as open as ever for him. “I think my top three artists I’d love to work with right now are Bring Me The Horizon, Halsey, or Ellie Goulding,” the producer adds.

Sonically, the artist says his newer production material has been inspired by “more electronic focused stuff being released by artists right now.” With one kind of story told with the Trilogy albums and his self-titled prequel, Illenium says the themes will be “similar” but packaged “very different.”
