Bicep Lock in 2026 Australian Tour Dates

One of melodic house music’s most distinctive artists is heading back Down Under, with Nora En Pure announcing a run of Australian and New Zealand shows for September 2026. Presented by Audiopaxx, the tour will see the South African-born, Swiss-based producer return for performances across Queenstown, Byron Bay, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, beginning in New Zealand on September 9 before crossing the Tasman for a tightly packed run of Australian dates. Demand has already been strong. Both Queenstown appearances and the Byron Bay show are selling fast, while Nora En Pure’s original Sydney date has officially sold out, prompting the addition of a second performance on the same night. Melbourne is also closing in on capacity, with the tour’s latest update reporting that more than 80 per cent of tickets have already been snapped up. For Australian fans of deep, progressive and melodic house, it marks another opportunity to experience an artist whose sound has remained immediately recognisable throughout more than a decade at electronic music’s upper reaches. The Queen of Deep House Returns Performing as Nora En Pure, Daniela Di Lillo has carved out a unique position within contemporary house music by resisting the temptation to chase passing club trends. Her productions favour warm organic instrumentation, intricate percussion, piano-led melodies and expansive atmospheric arrangements, often bringing an almost cinematic quality to the dancefloor. Her breakthrough arrived with ‘Come With Me’ in 2013, with subsequent releases including ‘Morning Dew’, ‘Lake Arrowhead’, ‘Tears In Your Eyes’, ‘Birthright’ and ‘We Found Love’ further establishing the signature sound that has become synonymous with the Nora En Pure project. That approach has taken her to some of the world’s biggest stages, including Coachella, Tomorrowland and Burning Man, alongside major club residencies and an extensive international touring schedule. Away from her own productions, she has also remixed artists including Above & Beyond, Faithless, Eelke Kleijn, Sofi Tukker and Tove Lo. At the centre of the wider Nora En Pure ecosystem is Purified, which has grown from her radio show and event concept into its own record label. Purified Records launched in 2019 and has since become an established outlet for the melodic, progressive and deep house sounds that surround her musical identity. A Packed September Run Across Australia Following two appearances in Queenstown on September 9 and 10, Nora En Pure will head to Australia for one of the busiest dates of the tour. On Saturday, September 12, she will first perform in Byron Bay for a special Return To Rio event at the Arts Factory. The afternoon show will see Nora En Pure joined by Abel Toro, Mark Craven, Murat Kilic and Ricky Cooper, with doors opening at 4pm. Return To Rio is promising an outdoor garden takeover built around deep, melodic and progressive house, with the event already moving quickly through its remaining tickets. From there, the action heads north to Brisbane that same evening. Nora En Pure is scheduled to headline Eclipse Brisbane from 9pm, creating an ambitious same-day Byron Bay to Brisbane double-header. The Brisbane appearance will bring her into a more intimate late-night club environment following the afternoon session on the Northern Rivers. Sydney Adds Second Show Following Sell-Out Sydney has emerged as one of the strongest markets of the tour. The originally announced September 18 Glass Island show has sold out, with Nora En Pure set to perform aboard the iconic Sydney Harbour vessel as part of Change We Need. The night cruise is scheduled to depart from King Street Wharf in Darling Harbour, giving fans the chance to experience Nora En Pure’s melodic sound against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour. The event runs from the evening through until approximately 11pm. With the initial show reaching capacity, a second Sydney performance has now been added for later that same night at Home The Venue, beginning at 10pm. That effectively gives Sydney two very different Nora En Pure experiences in a matter of hours: an open-air harbour cruise followed by a late-night club show in the heart of Darling Harbour. Melbourne Closes Out the Tour The Australian run concludes in Melbourne on Saturday, September 19, where Nora En Pure will headline The Third Day in North Melbourne for VOLT by BOUNCE. Running from 7pm through until 3am, the event will place Nora En Pure at the centre of an extended night of deep and melodic house, with food trucks and additional programming planned across the evening. With the latest tour update indicating Melbourne is already more than 80 per cent sold, the final show looks likely to join Sydney in reaching capacity before doors open. For an artist whose music has always felt particularly suited to expansive outdoor settings, sunsets and picturesque locations, this run covers plenty of territory. Alpine New Zealand, a Byron Bay garden, Sydney Harbour and intimate Australian club rooms all feature across little more than a week. And judging by the ticket movement so far, Nora En Pure’s connection with Australian and New Zealand audiences remains as strong as ever.

Above & Beyond announces the rebranding of their third frontline label, Anjunachill (formerly Reflections). The dawn of a new year brings change and much to celebrate at Anjuna HQ. To kick things off, Anjunachill (rebranded from Reflections) is now the third frontline label under the Anjuna umbrella, housing the group’s ambient, downtempo, and chillout catalog. In celebration of its 25th anniversary and the launch of Anjunachill, the Anjuna label family is unveiling a brand refresh for 2025. With the design of its own bespoke typeface, ‘Decima Sans,’ and the iconic ‘Anjuna A’ at its core, the refreshed identity honors Anjuna’s rich heritage while establishing a versatile design foundation for the label’s future growth. Alongside longstanding flagship imprints Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep—two of the world’s most respected imprints in dance music—Anjunachill is keeping the brand’s signature ethos with emotive and melodic music at its core. While the Anjuna brand is historically synonymous with quality dancefloor-dominating club records, ranging from trance and progressive to deep house, Above & Beyond’s newest imprint, Anjunachill lives in the worlds of ambient, downtempo, and chillout – genres with a rich, intertwined history with dance music and the Anjuna brand itself. Anjunachill is the latest chapter of a journey that began with Above & Beyond at Burning Man in 2014. Following a spontaneous sunset yoga set on the iconic Robot Heart stage, this transformative experience sparked the creation of their dedicated yoga and meditation album, ‘Flow State.’ Following the success of ‘Flow State,’ in 2020, the first EP in a new chillout series, ‘Reflections Vol. 1,’ was released on Anjunadeep. This marked a pivotal moment in establishing a dedicated home for Anjuna’s chillout catalog. Officially launched in May 2022 as Reflections, the label flourished as a standalone space for ambient and downtempo music. Over the past three years, the Reflections label has released over 250 recordings from 70+ artists, amassing over 150 million streams. The label has released critically acclaimed albums from Mark Barrott, Cephas Azariah, Yotto, and Croquet Club, receiving glowing coverage from Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, and BBC Radio 6 Music. With standout live showcases at Glastonbury and sold-out events at ADE, Reflections has established its reputation as a credible tastemaker in the chillout space. Now, Anjunachill proudly carries the torch, continuing to champion, discover, and nurture some of the finest talents in ambient, downtempo, and neo-classical music. To long-time fans of Anjuna and Above & Beyond, the Anjunachill rebrand will come as no surprise; quieter moments have always been essential components of the band’s chart-topping electronic albums. The chillout genre is one the Anjuna family of labels have a long history in – from catalog classics on Above & Beyond albums like their debut LP title track ’Tri-State’ and ’Sun In Your Eyes’ from Group Therapy, to much-loved fan-favorite moments from Andrew Bayer, Cubicolor and Croquet Club, to the RIAA-certified Gold ‘Don’t Leave’ (a single from the ‘Flow State’ album) in 2019. Artist priorities for 2025 include Cephas Azariah, Mark Barrott, and newcomers Planet of Souls. Planet of Souls is the exciting new downtempo alias of prolific producer Paul Rogers (NERD, Gorillaz, and Pete Tong) and close friend Tom Barlow, a sound design master.  Anjunachill also welcomes new additions to the label, including Anjunadeep’s Luttrell, Steven Weston, BAILE, and Cornelius SA, Anjunabeats’ PROFF, as well as new faces in the form of South African neo-classical duo Ad Harmonium and British producer Toutounji. Anjunachill’s first release comes on January 14 by way of Above & Beyond’s new single, ‘Shall We Begin.’ Debuting as the intro for Above & Beyond’s guest mix on the 500th episode of the Anjunadeep Edition last summer, ’Shall We Begin’ is a moving downtempo electronic piece that takes listeners on a three-minute emotional journey. Echoing the sweeping soundscapes of their iconic ‘Flow State’ album, the track is poignant, reflective, sentimental, and captivating. In October 2024, 15,000 fans got a sneak preview of ‘Shall We Begin’ as it served as the soundtrack to the mysterious ‘Anjuna 25’ teaser video played right before Above & Beyond’s headline set at Above & Beyond’s 600th Group Therapy Radio Show (ABGT600) in Mexico City. This aptly named tune not only kicks off the Anjunachill label but ushers in an exciting era for Above & Beyond, who are set to play at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California, this April. ‘Shall We Begin’ is now available worldwide via Anjunachill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VcXDdBXvyQ  

This EP sees label bosses Above & Beyond release an original mix on their own Anjunadeep imprint for the first time. Tapping into their deeper side ahead of their rare headlining appearance at Anjunadeep Open Air London, GRAMMY-nominated trio Above & Beyond showcase their diversity with a marked departure from the high-tempo trance bangers that they’ve become known for. PROFF saw his first Anjunadeep release back in 2008 and has been releasing on Monstercat, Melody Of The Soul, and SkyTop recently. His sets at the annual Anjunadeep Explorations festival in Albania have become fan favorite attractions, with the Russian producer consistently taking crowds on a hypnotic journey. The opening track, ‘Palermo,’ is a summery and euphoric melodic house anthem, while ‘Fractals’ showcases PROFF’s mastery of organic house sounds and Above & Beyond’s melodic sensibility. Founders of the iconic Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep record labels and hosts of a weekly radio show that reaches millions of dance lovers every Friday (Group Therapy), Above & Beyond have earned two GRAMMY™️nominations for anthems ‘Northern Soul’ feat. Richard Bedford and We’re All We Need feat. Zoë Johnston. In 2018, the band’s fourth electronic album, Common Ground, debuted at number three on the Official Billboard Album Chart. Described by UK music bible Q Magazine as “the world’s biggest cult band,” Above & Beyond’s enviable list of sold-out shows includes headline performances at historic venues like Madison Square Garden, NYC, The Hollywood Bowl, The Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall London, Red Rocks Amphitheater, and record-breaking turnouts for their own festival events on LA’s Huntington Beach and at The Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State. Songwriters first, producers second, Above & Beyond’s unwavering commitment to their craft has fuelled a career that many electronic artists today might only dream of: four acclaimed studio albums, 14 compilation albums, two ‘acoustic’ albums, and a stand-alone album for yoga and meditation – not to mention innumerable club cuts and dance remixes.

San Francisco native Eric Luttrell announces his highly-anticipated third studio album ‘Life at Full Speed’, released on October 11 on Anjunadeep. The album announcement is paired with the release of lead single ‘Make U Happy’. First breaking into electronic music as part of the OWSLA-affiliated trio The M Machine, Eric embarked on his solo journey in 2016 with the acclaimed ‘Need You EP’. This was followed by Anjunadeep favourites such as the ‘Generate EP’ and ‘Intergalactic Plastic’, the latter of which was named Hottest Record In The World by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1. His musical progression continued with the launch of two studio albums, ‘Intro Clouds’ and ‘Lucky Ones’, as well as the captivating trilogy EP series ‘Music For My Memories’. Luttrell’s body of work has amassed over 100 million streams to date. Written over the past two years, ‘Life at Full Speed’ represents a new chapter for Eric. Becoming a father last year profoundly shifted his perspective on life and its purpose; and the album represents the ethos of embracing life to its fullest and seizing every moment. Three of the album’s 13 tracks, ‘Sunshine’, ‘Space’ and ‘Sunshine Song’ have already been released and supported by BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM Chill, and they, alongside the bouncy new single ‘Make U Happy’, set the tone for this warm and uplifting album. A standout feature of ‘Life At Full Speed’ is the way in which Eric weaves his own voice into his productions, as well as vocals from Canadian artist Molly Moonwater on single ‘Something Right’. In marrying the melodic productions for which he’s become known with more overtly vocal moments that aren’t as commonplace in his catalogue, Luttrell promises to delight and surprise any listener of this album. ‘Life at Full Speed’ is set for release on October 11 on Anjunadeep.

Bali’s New Year celebrations are set to get considerably bigger in 2026, with FINNS Beach Club revealing the first wave of artists for its newly expanded two-day NYE Festival, taking place across December 30 and 31 in Canggu. Leading the opening day is Major Lazer Soundsystem, joined by Australian electronic heavyweight CYRIL, while New Year’s Eve itself will feature a special DJ set from The Temper Trap. It is only the beginning, with FINNS confirming that further international and local artists will be added to both dates in the months ahead. The announcement represents a significant expansion for one of Bali’s most established end-of-year parties. Following a decade of sold-out New Year events, FINNS is transforming its traditional NYE celebration into a two-day festival for 2026, stretching the festivities across the final 48 hours of the year. Major Lazer Leads December 30 Few acts are better suited to an open-air Bali celebration than Major Lazer Soundsystem. The globally recognised electronic project has spent more than a decade blurring the lines between electronic music, dancehall, pop and sounds drawn from across the globe. Tracks including ‘Lean On’ with DJ Snake and MØ and ‘Cold Water’ featuring Justin Bieber and MØ became defining crossover records of the 2010s, helping push Major Lazer far beyond the traditional confines of the dance music circuit. Joining them on December 30 is one of Australia’s biggest recent electronic success stories, CYRIL. The Australian producer enjoyed an international breakthrough with his reworking of ‘Stumblin’ In’, followed by his remix of Disturbed’s ‘The Sound of Silence’, establishing himself as one of the country’s most internationally visible electronic artists. For Australian dance fans heading to Bali over the summer break, the pairing gives the first night of FINNS NYE Festival considerable firepower before the calendar even reaches December 31. The Temper Trap Take Over New Year’s Eve The Australian connection continues on New Year’s Eve, with The Temper Trap confirmed for a special DJ set on December 31. While the Melbourne-formed group is best known for its soaring indie catalogue, particularly the enduring anthem ‘Sweet Disposition’, the DJ format promises a different side of the band as they take control of the decks for the final night of 2026. The appearance also arrives during a renewed chapter for The Temper Trap. After an extended hiatus, the band returned in 2026 with new album Sungazer and a fresh run of international performances, putting one of Australia’s most successful alternative exports firmly back in the spotlight. Exactly where their NYE DJ set travels musically remains to be seen, but in a setting built around electronic music, sunset sessions and late-night celebration, it is one of the more intriguing bookings of the first lineup announcement. FINNS Expands Its Biggest Party of the Year Situated directly on Berawa Beach in Canggu, FINNS has become one of Bali’s most recognisable nightlife destinations, with its sprawling oceanfront complex regularly hosting international electronic talent. Its recent New Year celebrations have brought artists including Flume, Duke Dumont, MK and PNAU to Bali, with the venue reporting that both its 2024 and 2025 NYE events sold out ahead of time. FINNS says its 2025 celebration moved approximately 8,000 tickets. For 2026, the scale is increasing again. Rather than concentrating the entire program around December 31, FINNS will begin festivities a day earlier, effectively turning the countdown into a destination festival for travellers already making Bali part of their summer plans. With Major Lazer Soundsystem, CYRIL and The Temper Trap comprising only the first announcement, there remains plenty of room for the lineup to grow before December. Early Bird tickets are now on sale, with FINNS currently promoting savings of up to 50%, while general admission, VIP packages and VVIP private areas are being offered for the festival. Given the venue’s recent run of sold-out New Year events and the considerable number of Australians who descend on Bali during the holiday period, those considering the trip may want to move sooner rather than waiting for the full lineup to land.

Skrillex Unleashes SOMA, A Global Club-Focused Statement from One of Electronic Music’s Most Influential Artists. Few artists have reshaped electronic music as consistently as Skrillex, and with the release of his latest studio album, SOMA, Sonny Moore once again proves why he remains one of the most innovative forces in modern dance music. Released via OWSLA and Atlantic Records, the 13-track project arrives as a confident and fully realised body of work that reflects the current state of global club culture. Spanning 42 minutes, SOMA captures the creative freedom Skrillex has embraced in recent years, blending festival-scale energy with underground influences drawn from scenes around the world. Rather than leaning into a single genre or formula, SOMA feels like a snapshot of electronic music in 2026. House, bass, techno, UK sounds, Latin rhythms and experimental club music all collide throughout the album, creating a listening experience that feels both expansive and intentional. Fans had already been given a glimpse into the project through a number of standout singles released ahead of the album. Tracks such as “Thistle”, the explosive ISOxo collaboration “Smoke”, and the high-energy Latin-inspired “Duro” hinted at the diverse sonic direction Skrillex was pursuing. With the full album now available, those early releases reveal themselves as key pieces of a much larger creative vision. One of SOMA’s greatest strengths is its collaborative spirit. The album brings together an impressive collection of producers, vocalists and songwriters from across the globe, highlighting Skrillex’s long-standing ability to connect different musical worlds. Production contributions come from respected names including ISOxo, Chris Lake, Nitepunk, Blawan, Randomer, Dismantle, Rom, Tracey and RHR, each helping shape the album’s constantly evolving sound. The vocal roster is equally diverse. Colombian superstar Feid appears on the standout track “Noche Without You”, which cleverly incorporates elements of Robert Miles’ iconic classic Children. Elsewhere, Puerto Rican artist Young Miko, UK drill talents Cristale and TeeZandos, Jamaican vocalist Beam, Brazilian artist MC Dricka, and emerging voices Naisha, ANITA B QUEEN and TAICHU further reinforce the album’s international identity. The release of SOMA follows another significant milestone in Skrillex’s expanding creative universe. Just weeks before the album’s arrival, he launched CONTRA, a new event platform developed in partnership with Berlin Atonal. The inaugural edition took place at Berlin’s iconic Kraftwerk venue across May 30 and 31, showcasing the same forward-thinking approach that has defined much of Skrillex’s recent output. At a time when electronic music continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, SOMA demonstrates why Skrillex remains at the forefront of that conversation. It is an album that embraces collaboration, celebrates global club culture, and further cements his reputation as an artist who consistently challenges expectations while keeping one eye firmly on the future.

EDC Las Vegas to Expand to Two Weekends in 2027 for the First Time in Its History. In a landmark move for one of the world’s biggest electronic music festivals, Insomniac founder Pasquale Rotella has confirmed that EDC Las Vegas will expand to two weekends in 2027, marking a major evolution in the event’s 30-year history. The announcement comes just days after the 2026 edition wrapped at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where more than half a million fans gathered to celebrate the festival’s milestone anniversary. Known for its immersive production, large-scale stage design and round-the-clock atmosphere, EDC once again delivered its signature experience under the electric sky. Looking ahead, the 2027 edition will take place across two consecutive weekends: May 14–16, 2027 (DUSK) May 21–23, 2027 (DAWN) In addition to the festival itself, Insomniac is introducing an extended “Dusk Till Dawn Experience”, spanning 12 days from May 13 to May 24, 2027. This expanded format will place even greater emphasis on EDC Week, with additional programming planned throughout the gap between weekends. Further details are expected to be announced in the coming months. A key change for 2027 will be a reduced capacity per weekend, a move designed to improve crowd flow and enhance the overall attendee experience. Despite the split format, both weekends will feature the same lineup, ensuring fans receive a consistent offering regardless of which dates they attend. Accommodation options including Camp EDC and Hotel EDC will also operate across both weekends, giving attendees greater flexibility when planning their stay. In a notable shift, organisers have also confirmed more accessible ticket pricing. General admission passes will start at $399 USD per weekend, while fans looking to attend both weekends can purchase a combined Dusk & Dawn pass for $599 USD. Speaking on the announcement, Rotella shared his vision for the festival’s future: “I hope you can feel the excitement and see the vision for what Dusk Till Dawn will become. I can’t wait to share this experience with you under the electric sky.” While many major global festivals such as Tomorrowland, Coachella and Ultra Music Festival have adopted multi-weekend formats over the years, EDC Las Vegas has remained a single-weekend event throughout its three-decade run. This shift signals a significant new chapter for the brand as it continues to grow its global footprint. Tickets for EDC Las Vegas 2027 will go on sale Friday, May 22 at 12pm PT (5am Saturday May 23 AEST), with GA, GA+ and VIP options available via Front Gate. Given the scale of the announcement and the festival’s continued demand, strong interest is expected across both weekends. For fans around the world, 2027 is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious editions of EDC Las Vegas to date; not just bigger, but more expansive than ever before.

As EDC celebrates three decades of music, art and community, the 2026 edition is shaping up to be one of its most ambitious and culturally significant chapters yet.

Calvin Harris Draws Record 1.6 Million Fans at Historic São Paulo Street Performance. Calvin Harris has added another milestone to his already record-breaking career, delivering a landmark performance to an estimated 1.6 million people in São Paulo, Brazil. The Scottish superstar headlined the Bloco Skol pre-Carnival street celebration on Sunday, 8 February, transforming the city’s streets into one of the largest electronic music gatherings ever witnessed. Stretching for kilometres, the crowd formed a sea of fans that effectively turned the event into a sprawling open-air dancefloor. The sheer scale of attendance has positioned the show among the biggest electronic music events ever staged in Brazil — and widely regarded as the largest single-artist DJ performance in history. Taking to social media following the event, Harris shared his astonishment and appreciation for the Brazilian audience: “1.6 MILLION people they told me and I didn’t believe them until I saw this video… nowhere else like Brazil 💛💚🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷.” Brazil has long held a reputation for hosting some of the world’s most passionate dance music crowds, and this historic turnout further cements the country’s standing as a global powerhouse for electronic music culture. Footage from the event continues to circulate online, capturing the staggering scale of the performance and the electric atmosphere that defined the night.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Calvin Harris (@calvinharris) Article Photos Source – Will Dias / Brazil News
