Skrillex to Return In Late December, Plus Swedish House Mafia Too, as Lurie Announces Winter of Music'

"Mayor Lurie took to Instagram to announce a series of late December SF concerts at places you wouldn't expect them, featuring Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia, and Fisher, between December 19-30. It was a lucrative and bustling summer of major SF concerts this year, with the Dead & Company shows that brought throngs of Deadheads to town, Outside Lands (which is always money in the bank), and the big free Shaboozey show at Civic Center that drew more than 20,000 people."

"We had the summer of music, and now we have the winter of music coming to San Francisco, Lurie said in a Thursday morning Instagram post. We will quibble that Summer of Music was a separate concert series from Noisepeop and Civic Joy Fund, but we cannot complain that Lurie just announced late December concerts by Skrillex, Four Tet, Fisher, and a New Year's Eve grand finale by Swedish House Mafia. The December 19-20 Fisher shows (with Chris Lorenzo and Partiboi69)"

"But it's unique that the 2024 Portola festival headliner Fisher is playing the buttoned-down likes of the Moscone Center, which is normally a corporate conference center. Maybe it will be ravelord-ed up for these shows? Meanwhile the Skrillex and Four Tet concert is Tuesday December 30, at the site of the Portola Festival, Pier 80. Same goes for the New Year's Eve Show with Swedish House Mafia the next night. Both of those are presented by Coachella promoter Goldenvoice."

Late-December San Francisco concerts will feature Skrillex, Four Tet, Fisher, and a New Year's Eve finale by Swedish House Mafia between December 19 and 30. The December 19–20 Fisher shows include Chris Lorenzo and Partiboi69 and will take place at the Moscone Center. The Skrillex and Four Tet show is scheduled for December 30 at Pier 80, the Portola Festival site, followed by Swedish House Mafia on New Year's Eve; both shows are presented by Goldenvoice. These events are ticketed at standard concert prices rather than free, and they repurpose venues that do not typically host major dance-headline shows.
