Global icon and cultural force Steve Aoki has announced additional dates for the Dim Mak 30th Anniversary Tour, extending the 2026 North American celebration of his trailblazing independent label, Dim Mak. The headline run, which kicked off earlier this month in Vancouver, will continue throughout the summer with major stops at Chicago’s Radius, Washington, DC’s Echostage, Dallas’ Silo, and Seattle’s Victory Hall at Boxyard Outdoors.

The Dim Mak 30th Anniversary Tour continues to showcase a dynamic, rotating lineup drawn from the extended Dim Mak family, reflecting the label’s enduring commitment to championing emerging sounds alongside its legacy acts. Artists joining Steve Aoki on select dates include Audien, Frank Walker, Jessica Audiffred, Joyryde, Laidback Luke, Nostalgix, Riot Ten, Timmy Trumpet, alongside Bella Rene, Benzi, Elephante, and RAYRAY, among others. Surprise guests are also expected throughout the tour, underscoring the collaborative spirit that has defined the label for three decades.

A key highlight of the anniversary run includes a triumphant return to Ultra Music Festival, long regarded as a second home for Steve Aoki, who has headlined the event numerous times over the past decade. At Ultra Music Festival, he 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—an emphatic reminder of Dim Mak’s enduring imprint on global dance culture.

The expanded tour marks a full-circle moment for Steve Aoki, celebrating the artists, energy, and ethos that have shaped Dim Mak from its underground beginnings to its global prominence. Founded in 1996 from Aoki’s college dorm room at UC Santa Barbara and named after his childhood hero Bruce Lee, Dim Mak initially helped break some of the most influential indie acts of the era before evolving into one of the world’s premier dance labels. Despite its international reach, the label continues to operate with the same fearless, DIY, community-first philosophy that defined its earliest days.

Beyond the tour, the anniversary year will feature additional Dim Mak 30th celebrations, including special live experiences, limited-edition merchandise, and commemorative digital and physical releases honoring the label’s three-decade legacy.

As Steve Aoki and Dim Mak enter their fourth decade, the 30th Anniversary Tour stands as both a celebration of the past and a forward-looking statement—bridging scenes, genres, and generations while reaffirming the label’s lasting cultural impact.
