Thirty years in and Steve Aoki is nowhere near done. The global DJ and cultural force has added new dates to the Dim Mak 30th Anniversary Tour, extending a North American run that celebrates three decades of one of dance music’s most influential independent labels, built from a UC Santa Barbara dorm room in 1996 and named after Aoki’s childhood hero Bruce Lee.
The expanded tour hits iconic venues including Radius in Chicago, Echostage in Washington D.C., Silo in Dallas, and Victory Hall at Boxyard Outdoors in Seattle, with a rotating cast of artists from across the Dim Mak family joining on select dates. Audien, Frank Walker, Jessica Audiffred, Joyryde, Laidback Luke, Nostalgix, Riot Ten, Timmy Trumpet, Bella Rene, Benzi, Elephante, and RAYRAY all appear throughout the run, with surprise guests expected at stops along the way.
A highlight of the anniversary celebration is Aoki’s return to Ultra Music Festival, where he hosts the Dim Mak Records 30th Anniversary Stage Takeover. The lineup features The Bloody Beetroots, Laidback Luke, Linney, Nostalgix, Ookay, and Riot Ten, a showcase that reflects the label’s enduring reach across global dance culture.
The anniversary year also includes special live experiences, limited-edition merchandise, and commemorative digital and physical releases honoring Dim Mak’s full three-decade legacy. It’s a full-circle celebration that captures everything the label has stood for since day one, fearless, community-driven, and genre-bridging.
