RÜFÜS DU SOL Make History With The Highest-Selling Electronic Tour Of All Time

Australian EDM trio RÜFÜS DU SOL have officially made history with their Inhale / Exhale World Tour, which has been crowned the highest-selling electronic tour of all time.

RÜFÜS DU SOL were presented with a commemorative plaque, presented by Live Nation and Untitled, after three sold-out headline shows in their home city of Sydney.

The plaque recognises the strength of their Inhale / Exhale World Tour, which sold 750,000 headline tour tickets globally and saw the Grammy Award-winning trio perform to 1.5 million fans at festivals and headline shows worldwide.

The trio’s Australia and New Zealand dates marked a significant milestone, with the entire run sold out – and extra shows added in multiple cities – and moving over 180,000 tickets across Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland.

With the success of their shows in the region, RÜFÜS DU SOL have now become the highest-selling Australian act ever to headline Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena and broke the all-time attendance records at Auckland’s Outer Fields at Western Springs with 25,000 attendees.

RÜFÜS DU SOL’s Inhale / Exhale World Tour has spanned nearly 50 headline shows across four continents. One of the world’s most recognised and beloved live acts, the trio have headlined festivals like Lollapalooza, become the first electronic act to headline Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl, and continue setting benchmarks for electronic music.

Reviewing the group’s recent first of three shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, The Music’s Michael Prebeg wrote: “The first of three sold-out RÜFÜS DU SOL Melbourne shows proves that they remain masters of turning electronic soundscapes into communal, deeply human experiences that can move both body and soul.

“Their euphoric homecoming unites electronic music fans on a large scale and turns the arena’s dance floor into a dreamscape where music, visuals and emotion fuse together seamlessly for a moment of collective transcendence.”

The tour marks the group’s first run of Australian shows since their appearance on the Beyond The Valley, Field Day, and Wildlands festivals across 2023/24, and marks their first headline tour dates since 2022.

“Returning to Australia and New Zealand is always a special feeling for us,” the band said of the shows. “The crowds have always been so good to us. We can’t wait to explore this next chapter with everyone back home.”
