Skrillex Dropped In For A Surprise B2B With Fisher And Played Celine Dion This Weekend
Listen Out music festival took place in the land down under this past weekend. Like any good festival that features techno, FISHER was on the bill for his native land’s festival de jour. While he without a doubt threw down a tasty set during the festival, it was what happened after the fest concluded that got everyone on social media talking.
FISHER dropped by The Ivy after the conclusion of the festival on Friday night, and a special guest that nobody couldve expected stopped by as well.
FISHER B2B Skrillex
Skrillex popped into The Ivy to throw down a surprise B2B to FISHER. The crowd more or less, understanably lost their minds. The guys played a tantalizing set of techno but found time to mix in some classics such as Celine Dion’s Titanic ballad, ‘My Heart Will Go On’ as well as Toto’s ‘Africa’.
Check out a solid clip of the set below.

Two Very Different Careers, One Wild Night
What made this pop-up so much fun was just how unlikely the pairing looked on paper. FISHER had spent 2018 blowing up off the back of “Losing It,” a bass house track that somehow crossed over into mainstream radio territory, while Skrillex was in the middle of a stretch spent mostly producing and writing for other artists rather than dropping his own solo records. Seeing the two of them trade off behind the decks, throwing curveballs like a Celine Dion ballad into a techno set, was a reminder that some of the best festival moments happen completely off the official schedule.
The Ivy Kept Being A Magnet For Surprise Sets
Sydney’s The Ivy nightclub has built a reputation over the years as the after-hours spot where touring artists end up when a festival wraps early, and this wasn’t the last time a surprise lineup turned heads there. For fans who didn’t catch it live, clips like this one are usually the only way these moments get preserved, since spontaneous sets like this rarely get an official release. It’s exactly the kind of no-notice collaboration that keeps people checking their group chats during festival season, just in case something like this happens again.
