Dillon will spend the summer showcasing his music on the much-buzzed-about Mad Decent Block Party, with stops including New York, Las Vegas, Vancouver and Miami (see full list of tour dates below). The Block Party dates follow appearances at major U.S. festivals including Ultra, Coachella and Electric Daisy Carnival, where Billboard noted that Dillon “annihilate(ed) his set” and Las Vegas Weekly declared him “your next superstar DJ—and I’m talking Skrillex-super.” “Get Low,” Dillon’s current track with DJ Snake, has already surpassed 3 million plays on SoundCloud, while the official “Get Low” video has amassed over 4 million views.
