Global Underground’s Australia tour begins Friday 5thJune 2026 at Melbourne’s iconic Northcote Social Club, who’ve been presenting the best music to Melbourne since 1894. Then, on Saturday 6thJune, an all-dayer at Brisbane’s Eclipse, a venue superbly engineered for sound, scale and an immersive shared experience. The tour ends on Sunday 7thJune at Sydney’s famous Selina’s in a special finale, the Coogee Bay venue being a favourite for live acts and DJs alike for more than five decades.
Electronic music legend Sasha, an absolute master at reading the crowd, headlines the tour. The Welsh icon behind Involver, #GU009: San Francisco and #GU013: Ibiza will be a firm favourite with the Australian GU fans. Hastings’ very own Danny Howells alsojoins the tour, having released 3 exceptional albums for GU over the years; Nubreed 002, 24:7 and finally his stunning #GU027 Miami album.
James Zabiela brings his bag of breaks and loops to the party, the Southampton artist best known to GU fans for his James ZabielaRave Lizard Remix of Ficta – Eli is a great addition to this stellar line up. The fourth and final GU legend on this tour is Melbourne’s very own Anthony Pappa, most famously associated with Global Underground through his seminal mix album, Nubreed 001 that launched the revered series back in 2000.
