Illenium Brings Body-Rattling Bass To SXSW: 5 Best Moments From His Billboard Headlining Show

Illenium brought his biggest hits and unreleased music to the final show of Billboard’s annual THE STAGE at SXSW concert series.

The night opened with a set from Canadian producer Fairlane, who played a litany of remixes of emo and nu-metal classics by artists including Fall Out Boy, Green Day and Linkin Park, adding his own guitar solos over many of them. THE STAGE takes place from March 14-16 as part of SXSW, Austin’s annual music, film and tech festival, and features performances from Billboard’s latest cover stars: PartyNextDoor, Christian Nodal, and Illenium. In terms of big time body movement though, the edge of the crowd is often the best place to really dance hard, and during Illenium’s set it was here that many people were spotted flailing their limbs around, spinning in circles and generally really going for it on the amphitheater’s grassy lawn.
