Dan Stephens and Joe Ray, otherwise known as London dubstep duo Nero, are taking their renowned DJ set to festivals across the expanse of the US this summer. Nero recently appeared at Coachella, Sasquatch, and the Electric Daisy Carnival NYC festivals, with several shows set for this summer’s IDentity Festival, Lollapalooza in Chicago and a live performance at Hard Summer Los Angeles in August.
Nero's live performance sees the duo performing along with singer Alana Watson. While the pair have been DJing in the US for a few years now, last December they premiered their live show for a series of sold-out dates including Los Angeles' Music Box and New York City's Webster Hall. It is a visual led performance, which sees them performing from a custom built booth consisting of ghetto blasters, retro TVs, old amps and an arcade machine centre piece.
Nero has been touring all year in support of their debut album Welcome Reality, which was released by Cherrytree/Interscope Records in December to rave reviews from Spin, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly, and Billboard.
Released in the U.K. in August 2011, Welcome Reality debuted at No. 1 and rapidly earned gold status, fueled by its singles 'Innocence', 'Guilt', 'Promises' (which also stormed straight to the top of the UK charts) and 'Me and You', which was the most played record on Radio 1 for three weeks in a row and is the first U.S. single from the album.
Nero will be playing the following shows on their US tour:
