Dom Dolla completed his national tour Saturday night, December 21st at Brisbane’s Riverstage – and wrecked a box-office record in the process.
Produced by Untitled Group, the four-city trek shifted more than 170,000 tickets, marking the largest-ever run by an Australian electronic artist.
Along the way, Dolla played two nights at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse, two dates at Sydney’s Domain, two sold-out shows at Riverstage and Perth’s Wellington Square, plus a 4-hour back-to-back set with Solomun as part of Untitled Group’s 10 year celebrations in partnership with Good Fortune.
“Today was the last show on this tour,” Dom told the 9,000 strong audience towards the end of his set in Queensland. “This tour has changed my life.”
The game-changing experience hasn’t been lost on the team at Untitled, which prides itself as Australia’s largest independently-owned music and events company.
“It’s been an incredible journey working with Dom over the past 10+ years, and this tour is the culmination of all the hard work, passion, and dedication we’ve put into building something special together,” comments Nicholas Greco, co-founder & managing partner of Untitled Group, in a statement.
“Watching Dom connect with fans on such a massive scale, and seeing his music resonate with so many people across the country, is an experience I’ll never forget. This tour was a record-breaking moment not just for Dom, but for the entire Australian electronic scene.”
Dolla capped his national run in the River City with another spectacular two-hour set, featuring a seamless mix of party anthems, surprise cuts and Dom’s originals, including “Girls”, the Grammy Award-nominated remix of Gorillaz’s “New Gold” (featuring Tame Impala and Bootie Brown), “San Francisco”, “Girl$”, and “Cave” with Tove Lo, who made a surprise appearance on stage for the second of his homecoming dates last weekend in Melbourne.
Dolla (real name: Dominic Matheson), the Los Angeles-based superstar DJ and producer, is the reigning ARIA Awards champion for best dance/electronic release, an accolade he has nabbed at the past two ceremonies, with “Saving Up” (Three Six Zero/Sony Music) and “Rhyme Dust” (Area 10/Big On Blue/Sony Music UK) a collaboration with MK, respectively.
Untitled Group, too, has been in the winner’s circle. In June of this year, the Melbourne-based company won the Live Business category at the inaugural Variety Live Business Breakfast.
With a slate of brands, including Beyond The Valley, Pitch Music & Arts, Wildlands, Grapevine Gathering, For The Love and Ability Fest, Untitled has emerged as an independent concerts and events powerhouse — a growing venture, and doing so in a tough time for the live sector.
The highlights came hard and fast for its 2023/24 festival season, which wrapped with over 500,000 tickets sold — a “record-breaking” result.
