Fisher, Dom Dolla, Rüfüs Du Sol Nominated for International DJ Awards 2025

Fisher, Dom Dolla, and Rüfüs Du Sol lead the Australian contingent at the DJ Awards 2025, voting for which is now open to the public.

All three acts are riding the highest possible wave.

The past year for Dolla (real name Dominic Matheson) has been enchanted, during which time he headlined two sold-out MSG dates, played Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Miami, covered Rolling Stone AU/NZ, launched a 10-week Hï Ibiza residency, won another ARIA Award and realised a dream by contributing to the F1: The Movie soundtrack with “No Room For A Saint”.

Last December, he smashed a box-office mark by shifting 170,000 tickets across a four-date Australian tour. He’ll set another mark this December when he plays Accor Stadium in Sydney, for his biggest hometown headline show, along with headline slots at Wildlands and Beyond The Valley.

Dom is nominated in the Breakthrough category at the DJ Awards, set to be presented in Ibiza at a date and location that’s yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, Fisher, the Gold Coast DJ, producer and founder of the OUT 2 LUNCH festival, is shortlisted in the International DJ category, which features heavyweights Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Solomun and more.

RDS is a chance to collect the crystal “Kryptonite” trophy for Best Live Act, another stacked category that includes The Prodigy, Fred Again, Odesza, Bicep, Sofi Tukker and others.

The Sydney electronic trio has wrapped another stadium tour, ahead of a major arena trek of Australia this November, in support of their fifth studio album, 2024’s Inhale / Exhale.

The DJ Awards were founded in 1998 by Jose Pascual and Lenny Krarup as a celebration of the genre across its many styles, including Drum & Bass, Hard Techno, Trance, House and more.

According to Billboard, the awards this time have introduced the new categories of Balearic, which salutes the sound of Ibiza and the DJs creating it; and the Hard Dance/Bounce award.
