Diplo & Skrillex Booed Off Stage

Last week in the Nevada desert 65,000 people gathered for the iconic Burning Man event to celebrate art, music, and community.

Except for Diplo. He was apparently there to celebrate EDM and trap music.

Jack U, the now legendary electronic duo comprised of Skrillex and Diplo, played a set earlier in the week at Camp Question Mark that was described by attendees as “pretty cool”, which is about as much of a reaction as you could expect from a Burning Man crowd.

According to an article written by pulseradio.net, problems arose later in the week when there were some contract issues with Seth Troxler (he was mad that his friends couldn’t come backstage so he decided not to play; real mature), so the people managing the Robot Heart stage did the only logical thing: recruit Jack U to play.

Skrillex was apparently laying down a pretty cool set until Diplo tagged himself in and dropped ‘Turn Down For What’ and was immediately met with roaring disapproval, to the point that that Skrill and Diplo were forced to end their set.

Are we surprised? Hell no. Burning Man isn’t quite the right venue for mainstream trap music.
