Australian DJ and producer Dom Dolla transformed Sydney’s Allianz Stadium into a massive dancefloor on Saturday night, December 20th, drawing a reported 40,000-strong crowd for his first headline stadium show in Australia. The performance marked the largest headline event of his career to date and a milestone for electronic music in the country, with the Melbourne-raised artist becoming the first electronic act to top an Australian stadium bill.
Dom Dolla, whose real name is Dominic Matheson, delivered a high-energy set that included unreleased tunes and exclusive remixes, supported by international acts KETTAMA and Fcukers and Australian artist Anna Lunoe. The show came just days after the Bondi Beach terror attacks, and Dom Dolla took time during the night to recognize emergency responders and lifeguards in attendance, inviting them to the event and publicly acknowledging their efforts.
Fans filled Allianz Stadium on a night that capped a landmark year for Dom Dolla, who has seen international success with sold-out shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden, headline festival sets at Ultra Miami and EDC Las Vegas, and a prominent 10-week residency at Hï Ibiza. Following the Sydney show, he is set to perform at New Year’s Eve festivals including Beyond The Valley and Wildlands, before embarking on tour dates across Asia, North America, South America, and Europe in early 2026.
In social media posts after the performance, Dom Dolla described the experience as “absolutely mental” and hinted he may still be processing the scale of the event.
