When Dom Dolla touches down in Australia, massive things happen.
The EDM star made a whirlwind visit to his homeland last week for the 2025 ARIA Awards, where he collected best dance/electronic release (with “Dreamin” featuring DAYA), his third consecutive win in that category, and global impact recipient award, becoming the first-ever recipient.
At the tail end of 2024, Dom (real name Dominic Matheson) played to 170,000 fans across four shows, the biggest-ever tour by an Australian electronic artist.
Later this year, another entry for the history books. On Dec. 20, he’ll return to the scene of his ARIAs wins with a show at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium, next door to Hordern Pavilion, for what will mark the first time an Australian electronic music artist has played a stadium in these parts.
“Oh man, I’m so excited,” Dom exclusively tells Billboard.com. “We’re really taking the show to the next level. Can’t give away too much, but I’m pumped about how it’s all coming together. The goal is simple – turn a stadium into a nightclub.”
Untitled Group was behind the record-smashing 2024 trek, and the forthcoming open-air spectacle.
Dom has been in the fast lane throughout 2025, during which time he completed residences in Ibiza and Las Vegas; sold-out multiple dates at Madison Square Garden; pumped the party at some of the world’s best-known festivals, and realized a dream with “No Room For a Saint”, his contribution to F1: The Movie.
“There’s no slowing down next year, that’s for sure,” Dom enthuses. The year ahead will include “a few first tours in places like Asia and Latin America which I’m really excited about. And I’ve been writing a ton of new music lately, so I can’t wait to start sharing more of that with everyone soon.”
Next up, a headline spot at 808 Festival in Bangkok, Thailand. Following the Allianz Stadium date, Dom joins Australia’s Beyond The Valley and Wildlands festivals, followed by shows in Japan, Argentina, Colombia, New Zealand, Netherlands and elsewhere.
Might a Dom Dolla artist album emerge from that wealth of new material?
“Right now,” he continues, “I’m just writing as much music as I can. An album might not be right around the corner, but I can promise there’ll be a lot more music next year. I’m really excited about what’s been cooking.”
