‘There’s No Slowing Down Next Year’: Dom Dolla Talks Touring, New Music
**Dom Dolla: A Record-Breaking Return to Australia and a Promising Future**
Australian EDM sensation Dom Dolla, born Dominic Matheson, recently made headlines during his whirlwind visit to Australia for the 2025 ARIA Awards. The artist took home two prestigious awards: Best Dance/Electronic Release for his hit single “Dreamin” featuring DAYA, marking his third consecutive win in this category, and the Global Impact Recipient Award, making him the first-ever recipient of this honor. This recognition comes on the heels of a remarkable year for Dolla, who captivated 170,000 fans across four shows at the end of 2024, setting a record for the largest tour by an Australian electronic artist. His achievements underscore his significant impact on the global music scene and the growing popularity of electronic dance music (EDM) in Australia.
Looking ahead, Dom Dolla is set to make history once again with a monumental performance at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on December 20. This concert will be a groundbreaking event, as it marks the first time an Australian electronic music artist has played a stadium of this size. Dolla expressed his excitement about the upcoming show, stating, “We’re really taking the show to the next level,” hinting at an ambitious plan to transform the stadium atmosphere into a vibrant nightclub experience. After a year filled with high-profile performances, including sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and residencies in Ibiza and Las Vegas, Dolla is not slowing down. He has also contributed to the soundtrack of the film “F1: The Movie” with his track “No Room For a Saint,” further solidifying his status as a leading figure in the industry.
As 2025 progresses, Dom Dolla is poised for an even busier schedule, with plans to tour Asia and Latin America for the first time. He is also gearing up for a headline spot at the 808 Festival in Bangkok, followed by appearances at Australia’s Beyond The Valley and Wildlands festivals, and shows in various countries including Japan, Argentina, Colombia, and New Zealand. While fans eagerly anticipate new music, Dolla has been prolific in his songwriting, promising that while an artist album may not be imminent, there will be plenty of new material to look forward to in the coming year. With his dynamic performances and a wealth of new music on the horizon, Dom Dolla continues to solidify his place as a trailblazer in the electronic music scene, captivating audiences worldwide with his innovative sound and electrifying stage presence.

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.”
