âIncredibly Inspiringâ: Untitled Group Reflects on Dom Dollaâs Milestone Stadium Show
Trending on Billboard While the rest of us are winding down, putting the feet up, and gaining weight, for Dom Dolla , Christmas is a time for smashing records. Last Saturday, Dec. 20, Dom made history by performing to 40,000-plus at Sydneyâs Allianz Stadium . Presented by Untitled Group, Laneway Presents and TEG Live, the landmark event was his largest-ever headline performance and marked the first time a homegrown DJ had played to a stadium in Australia. A year earlier, in December 2024, Dom (real name Dominic Matheson) set a new mark for a national tour by an Aussie DJ, as his four-date trek, also produced by Untitled Group, shifted over 170,000 tickets. âWatching Dom grow from the beginning of his journey to delivering a stadium show of this scale - and doing so in his home country as the first electronic artist to headline a stadium in Australia - has been incredibly inspiring,â comments Nicholas Greco, co-founder and managing partner at Melbourne-based Untitled Group. Dom was supported by international acts KETTAMA and Fcukers (DJ set), and rising domestic act Anna Lunoe. âSeeing an electronic artist connect with tens of thousands of people in that environment shows just how incredible he is,â Greco adds, âand itâs exciting to look ahead to whatâs next as he closes out 2025 and brings that momentum into 2026 at home with his fans.â For his groundbreaking efforts, Dom was presented backstage with a trophy for âmaking Australian music history.â The crowds that gathered at Allianz Stadium were treated to unreleased music, never-before-heard remixes, and a mix of â90s rave classics and Domâs own productions, all pushed to the limits with new visuals, lights and lasers. Also on the night, Dom brought out British singer and songwriter Clementine Douglas to perform âMiracle Maker,â and told of how his heart broke on the news of the Bondi Beach tragedy. âLook after yourselves Sydney. I love you guys,â he remarked. âIâll see you again real soon.â Audiences on both coasts will get a chance to see Dolla before the summer is done. Heâll lead Beyond The Valleyâs (BTV) coveted New Yearâs Eve countdown slot, and headline performances at Wildlands in Brisbane and Perth, all produced by Untitled Group. BTV will cap another massive year for Dom, during which he completed residences in Ibiza and Las Vegas; sold-out multiple dates at Madison Square Garden; rocked the house at some of the worldâs best-known festivals; and realized a dream with âNo Room For a Saintâ, his contribution to F1: The Movie . Just last month, the EDM star made a whirlwind trip to Sydney for the 2025 ARIA Awards , where he collected best dance /electronic release (with âDreaminâ featuring DAYA), his third consecutive win in that category, and global impact recipient award, becoming the first-ever recipient . Thereâs more music coming soon. âRight now,â he recently told Billboard , âIâm just writing as much music as I can. An album might not be right around the corner, but...
