Global icon, producer, and cultural tastemaker Steve Aoki has unveiled the Dim Mak 30th Anniversary Tour, a 2026 North American run honoring three decades of his pioneering independent label and creative ecosystem, Dim Mak. The announcement introduces Phase 1 of the tour, with additional dates, cities, and artist reveals set to follow in Phase 2.
The tour launches on Saturday, February 7 at Harbour Convention Centre in Vancouver, before traveling through major North American markets including Toronto, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Boston, and Nashville. On select dates, Aoki will be joined by a rotating lineup of artists that reflects the label’s genre-spanning legacy and forward-thinking ethos, including Audien, Frank Walker, Jessica Audiffred, Joyryde, Laidback Luke, Nostalgix, Riot Ten, and Timmy Trumpet. Together, the lineup highlights Dim Mak’s long-standing mission to bridge scenes, generations, and sounds while spotlighting both rising talent and established innovators.
Beyond club and venue dates, the anniversary run will include high-profile festival moments, with appearances at Igloofest in Gatineau and a highly anticipated return to Ultra Music Festival. A longtime cornerstone of Aoki’s career, Ultra will host the Dim Mak Records 30 Year Anniversary Stage Takeover, featuring performances from The Bloody Beetroots, Laidback Luke, Linney, Nostalgix, Ookay, Riot Ten, and special guests. The takeover serves as a testament to Dim Mak’s lasting impact on global dance culture and its ability to continually evolve while staying rooted in its identity.
The tour represents a full-circle milestone for Aoki, celebrating the artists, community, and fearless creative spirit that have defined Dim Mak since its inception. Founded by Aoki in 1996 from his college dorm room at UC Santa Barbara and named after his childhood hero Bruce Lee, Dim Mak began as an underground platform that helped break influential indie acts such as The Kills, Bloc Party, and The Gossip. Over time, it transformed into one of the world’s most influential dance labels, all while maintaining its DIY mentality and community-first values.
Throughout the anniversary year, fans can expect a steady rollout of additional Dim Mak 30 announcements, including expanded tour dates, new artist collaborations, immersive live experiences, limited-edition merchandise, and commemorative digital and physical music releases.
