In the pulsating world of electronic dance music, few stars have risen as swiftly as John Summit, the Chicago-born DJ, now a global sensation. From his early days as a CPA moonlighting with YouTube production tutorials, Summit’s journey to fame is a tale of grit and groove. His 2020 breakout track “Deep End” held the Beatport No. 1 spot longer than any other that year. By 2024, he sold out iconic venues like Madison Square Garden in under two hours. With nearly a billion global streams and hits like “Where You Are” topping US dance charts, Summit’s high-octane sets at festivals like Coachella and Tomorrowland have earned him a spot on Forbes’ 30 Under 30. His label, Experts Only, reflects his dual love for music and skiing, championing new talent while keeping his sound accessible and intricate—a balance that’s made him the life of every party he plays.
Brisbane is buzzing with anticipation as John Summit brings his 2025 Australian Tour to the Fortitude Music Hall on April 3rd, a newly added show due to overwhelming demand. Announced by Untitled Group, this concert follows his sold-out performances at Listen Out 2024, where he headlined alongside acts like Sub Focus and The Blessed Madonna. Fans can expect a setlist spanning his debut album Comfort In Chaos—a profoundly emotional project that Summit, born John Schuster, describes as his “most vulnerable work to date”—alongside crowd-pleasers like his remix of The Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition.” With shows in Melbourne and Sydney already sold out, Brisbanites snagged their chance during the artist presale, eager for a night of Summit’s signature energy that blends house, techno, and pure, unfiltered joy.
The Fortitude Music Hall, one of Brisbane’s premier live music venues, is the perfect stage for Summit’s larger-than-life persona – known for its industrial-chic vibe and stellar acoustics, the venue will amplify the thumping basslines and melodic highs of Summit’s tracks, creating an immersive experience for fans. As he continues to dominate the dance music scene—fresh off sold-out shows at LA’s Kia Forum and a #1 Mediabase US Dance Radio hit with “Focus” featuring CLOVES—Summit’s Brisbane stop promises to be a euphoric celebration of music’s power to unite. For Queenslanders still recovering from Cyclone Alfred’s outages, this concert might be the electrifying escape they need to dance the night away.
