Fans all over the world are celebrating, and for good reason. Rüfüs Du Sol just made music history with a milestone no electronic act has ever reached. Their Inhale / Exhale World Tour is now officially the highest selling electronic tour of all time and the numbers behind the achievement are truly massive.
A Global Tour That Shocked the Industry
The Grammy winning Australian trio hit cities across four continents and delivered one packed venue after another. Live Nation and Untitled Group presented the band with a special commemorative plaque in Sydney to mark their achievement. According to Live Nation, the Inhale / Exhale tour moved 750,000 headline tickets and reached an impressive 1.5 million fans across festivals and shows in 2025.
This recognition places Rüfüs Du Sol in a league of their own. While many electronic acts thrive in festivals, very few reach this level of global touring power.
Australia and New Zealand Set New Records
While the entire tour was a triumph, the Australia and New Zealand leg hit particularly stunning heights. More than 180,000 tickets sold across Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. Every stop sold out quickly.
The trio shattered multiple records, becoming the highest selling Australian act ever at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena. They also set a brand new all time attendance record at Auckland’s Outer Fields at Western Springs, drawing a massive 25,000 fans in a single night.
These achievements highlight how deeply the band connects with audiences at home and abroad.
A Breakthrough Era for the Band
The tour’s success reflects the strength of their Inhale / Exhale era. Their fifth studio album earned a 2026 Grammy nomination for best dance and electronic album and received four ARIA Award nominations in 2025. The album made its debut on the Billboard 200 and delivered their first number one at US dance radio with Music Is Better.
With strong reviews and huge fan support, the album helped propel the group into a new phase of global recognition.
Selling Out Iconic Venues Worldwide
Across nearly 50 headline dates, Rüfüs Du Sol stepped into spaces typically saved for world-class touring giants. One of their biggest career milestones came when they became the first electronic act to headline the legendary Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.
They continued to rise as they hit major festivals such as Lollapalooza and performed in arenas filled with fans across multiple continents. Their triumph proves that electronic music can thrive on the biggest stages when paired with the right artistic vision.

The celebration doesn’t stop here. Rüfüs Du Sol are now gearing up for an even bigger slate of shows in 2026. Their new European arena dates include Dublin, Dusseldorf and Bologna. They will also headline major venues like London’s The O2, Paris’ Adidas Arena and Barcelona’s Palau Sant Jordi.
South America dates begin in February before they return to Europe for a massive spring run. Fans eager to join the experience can find remaining tickets at rufusdusol.com/live.
