Collectively, they have inspired countless DJs, producers, and fans while continuing to perform globally. The Mission Underground Tour kicks off October 1st in Indianapolis and proceeds through Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Knoxville, Atlanta, New Orleans, Vancouver, Victoria, Phoenix, Tucson, Cleveland, New York City, San Diego, Las Vegas, Fayetteville, and Memphis, wrapping up November 14th in St. Petersburg, Florida.
For over thirty years, Paul Oakenfold has remained a cornerstone of electronic music. His groundbreaking efforts helped bring electronic dance music to a mainstream global audience, while his innovative DJ sets, productions, and remixes have left a lasting mark on multiple generations of artists and fans.

With The Crystal Method joining most performances, attendees can look forward to an evening that celebrates electronic music’s past, present, and future.
