Steve Aoki Announces Dim Mak 30th Anniversary Tour

Landmark 2026 North American Run Celebrates Three Decades of Boundary-Pushing Music, Culture, and Community

January 6, 2026 - Global icon, producer, and cultural force Steve Aoki announces the Dim Mak 30th Anniversary Tour, a 2026 North American run celebrating three decades of his trailblazing independent label and creative universe, Dim Mak. This announcement marks Phase 1 of the Dim Mak 30th Anniversary Tour, with additional dates, cities, and artists to be revealed in Phase 2 shortly. Kicking off Saturday, February 7 at Harbour Convention Centre in Vancouver, Phase 1 will see Aoki headline select dates across major markets in North America, including Toronto, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Boston, and Nashville joined on select shows by a stacked rotating lineup featuring Audien, Frank Walker, Jessica Audiffred, Joyryde, Laidback Luke, Nostalgix, Riot Ten, and Timmy Trumpet, artists who embody the label's long-standing commitment to championing new sounds alongside its iconic legacy acts, bridging scenes, genres, and generations.

The tour will also include festival appearances at Igloofest in Gatineau and a triumphant return to Ultra Music Festival, a longtime home for Aoki, where he has headlined numerous times over the past decade. At Ultra, Aoki will host the Dim Mak Records 30 Year Anniversary Stage Takeover, featuring The Bloody Beetroots, Laidback Luke, Linney, Nostalgix, Ookay, Riot Ten, plus special guests, underscoring Dim Mak's enduring influence on global dance culture.

The tour marks a rare full-circle moment for Aoki, celebrating the artists, energy, ethos, and community that have defined Dim Mak from its underground beginnings to its present-day global impact. Launched by Aoki from his college dorm room at UC Santa Barbara in 1996 and named after his childhood hero Bruce Lee, Dim Mak began by helping break some of the most influential indie acts of the era, including The Kills, Bloc Party, and The Gossip before evolving into one of the world's premier dance labels, still driven by the same fearless, DIY, community-first spirit today. Throughout the year, fans can also look forward to additional Dim Mak 30th anniversary announcements, including new tour dates and artist additions, live experiences, limited-edition merchandise, and commemorative digital and physical music releases.
