Major Lazer Coming Back to Australia After Nearly a Decade

Major Lazer's headed to Melbourne for New Year's at the Bowl, marking their first Australian run since 2015. That's a long time between visits for a crew that helped define what electronic music looked like in the club and festival space over the last decade-plus.

Live Nation's expanding the festival into its second year, and bringing in Diplo, Rae Sremmurd, and the rest of the Major Lazer machine feels like a solid get—especially for New Year's, when people want that guaranteed energy and catalog depth. The bowl setting should hit different too; outdoor dance festivals have their own vibe, and Australia's always shown up strong for that sound.

Nine years is a lot of space between tours for any act. Whether Major Lazer's bringing something new or running it back on the bangers that got them there, the timing feels right. Aussie crowds remember what this is about.
