“It’s been incredible to see the DJ Awards come together once again for a second year since returning,” said the DJ Awards’ Andy Grant.

“This ceremony truly celebrates the heart of our culture, the artists who have inspired dance floors all around the world, and those in the industry who come together to make it all happen. What makes it even more special is that these accolades come directly from the public’s independent votes, honouring the DJs who’ve genuinely moved the people and dance floors this year.”

This November, Rüfüs Du Sol will come home for a massive arena tour of Australia and New Zealand comprising eight shows, including three nights at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena and three nights at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena. Across the two countries, the trio are expected to sell over 150,000 tickets.

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 will be 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.”
