Just when you thought Dom Dolla’s shows couldn’t get any more epic, the Aussie DJ has wowed his local crowd at his final show Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Bowl over the weekend with a surprise appearance by none other than Spiderbait.
ICYMI: Dom recently began dropping a sneaky remix of the Spiderbait cover of Black Betty in throughout his sets in recent weeks, including during Spilt Milk 2024.
Posting the iconic moment the two legendary Aussie acts merged to Instagram on Wednesday (Dec. 20), Dom wrote: “A few weeks ago I decided to remix one of my favourite records ‘Black Betty’ just for my DJ sets… I really wasn’t expecting it to blow up like it did 😅 @spiderbait reached out to me not long after and mentioned how much they loved it.”
“I was absolutely stoked and sheepishly asked if they’d been down to come out and perform it live. This is the result 🔥 House rocks 🤘🏼”
One fan who attended the show commented, “Dear Mr Dom, 21 years of rocking at the bowl, and this set by far was the ultimate captivating set I've ever watched. Not to mention, I cried twice in happiness for your dreams coming true.. Spiderbait are Aussie icons and hand up, so are you.”
Another added, “This is the final boss of Australian music fr.”

Along with the surprise guests, Dom was joined at both Melbourne shows by support acts JNETT, Torren Foot and Airwolf Paradise.
The Rhyme Dust star already hit an impressive feat after he sold out two consecutive shows in his hometown at the Bowl in a matter of minutes.
Initially announcing a single performance for Saturday, December 16th, the overwhelming demand led to the addition of a second show on Friday, December 15th, after the presale tickets sold out within minutes.
By achieving this epic milestone, Dom Dolla joins the ranks of esteemed artists such as Daft Punk, Tame Impala, Florence and the Machine, Arctic Monkeys, Flume, and RÜFÜS DU SOL, solidifying his place among them as he manages to sell out not just one, but two shows at the prestigious venue.
