The short version: Tanner Petulla started producing dubstep in high school, built a reputation on guttural synths and unpredictable sound design, signed to Skrillex’s OWSLA label, then watched his 2019 Visceral Tour fall apart mid-run. Fans booed. Some threw things. He addressed it publicly, acknowledged the direction wasn’t landing the way he needed it to, and stepped away. Hip-hop under the Terror Reid alias for a while.
Summer 2025, he signed with United Talent Agency. The Resurrection Tour followed. It was not an apology tour — which mattered more than it might sound.
The longer story, the one that gives Getter EDC Las Vegas 2026 any weight past a lineup listing, is about what happens when someone tries to rebuild credibility in a subculture that does not extend second chances easily. The bass scene has memory. When his bassPOD slot was announced, the people who had tracked his career closely — who had kept faith through the silence, or stayed skeptical because of it — were watching in a specific way. Less “welcome back.” More “let’s see.”
Getter: The Set
It was not a nostalgia act. That is the first and most important thing to say about it.
He didn’t spend an hour in early catalog to prove the doubters wrong by playing it safe. His selections moved between styles the way his best early work did — heavy, then unexpectedly not, then heavier than before — with the same willingness to drag a crowd somewhere it might not follow immediately. Trap foundations landed with precision. Dubstep surfaced at angles that felt pointed rather than decorative. There were moments that tilted strange. The room followed anyway.
For a set with this much accumulated weight behind it, that might be the headline. Getter does not play to the middle, never has, and in 2026 that refusal turned out to be exactly correct. What lingered after the hour was not only the music itself but what it demonstrated: that this version of him, the one that left and came back changed, still had something worth saying. The crowd at bassPOD already knew it. The rest of the bass world caught up by morning.
EDC Las Vegas 2026 and the 30th Anniversary
This edition of EDC was significant before a single act took the stage. Thirty years holds real gravity in any music scene, but in electronic dance music — where festivals flare up and collapse in three-year cycles, where entire subgenres curdle into nostalgia before they’ve finished forming — three decades at this scale is genuinely rare. Insomniac treated the occasion accordingly: kineticJOURNEY as the theme, 17 stages, over 200 artists, passes that sold out in under 24 hours. A record for the festival.
At kineticFIELD, the headliners were exactly right for the moment. Charlotte de Witte closing Night 1. Above & Beyond at sunrise on Night 2. Armin van Buuren anchoring the final night. Milestone-year bookings, all worth being there for.
BassPOD operates by different logic. The Bassrush stage has always been for the people who evaluate a festival by its lowest frequencies — the bass community that doesn’t particularly care what’s happening at the main stage and never really has. In 2026, bassPOD arrived with a redesigned rig and a lineup dense enough to function as its own event within the event. Dubstep, drum and bass, trap. A Doctor P, Flux Pavilion, and FuntCase three-way set on Night 2 was already one of the weekend’s most anticipated moments. Getter playing 12:30am meant the floor had no chance to breathe between them.
