Dom Dolla's 60,000-strong Melbourne show sets Australian EDM record

The DJ played the largest solo electronic dance music concert in Australian history at Marvel Stadium this week.

Dom Dolla, real name Dominic Matheson, drew 60,000 people to Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Thursday. The show was the biggest solo EDM concert ever held in Australia.

Hard liquor and laser light fuelled the crowd to a stadium-scale show. Australia is the world's third-largest EDM streaming market behind the US and Germany.

For Australian artists on Spotify, it's the biggest. Dom Dolla led the charge.

His 2024 national tour sold 170,000 tickets. He sold out Madison Square Garden twice in 2025.

He will set another record in New Zealand in February. His drops appeal to EDM purists, tech house fans and mainstream listeners.

They're reliable and fun and always land exactly when you expect them.
