When Illenium prefaced that his three-album trilogy event was going to be something no one has ever done before, it set expectations through the roof, and he was dead serious. For the final time before Fallen Embers arrives on July 16, Illenium will be playing out Ashes, Awake, and Ascend in succession for a one-night-only event on July 3 at Las Vegas’ newly constructed Allegiant Stadium.
The trilogy show will feature three consecutive album sets in an entirely “new experience.” The idea had originally come about in early 2020 when Illenium confirmed a three-evening mini-festival was planned for Red Rocks, but the plan was unfortunately scrapped due to the pandemic. The trilogy date will only add onto Illenium’s colossal fall slate for his album, with a two-night Red Rocks show in October and Cancun-based destination festival, Ember Shores, in December.
