The trio performed to over 1.5 million fans
Following a trio of sold-out hometown headline shows in Sydney, Grammy-winning live electronic trio Rufus Du Sol has been honored with a commemorative plaque, presented by Live Nation and Untitled, recognizing their Inhale/Exhale World Tour as the highest-selling electronic tour of all time. The milestone caps a record-breaking 2025, during which the trio sold 750,000 headline tickets and performed to 1.5 million fans worldwide across their festival and headlining shows
The Inhale/Exhale era has been a critical and commercial success, earning Rufus Du Sol a 2026 Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album and four nominations at the 2025 ARIA Awards. The album debuted on the Billboard 200 and spawned the band’s first No. 1 on U.S. dance radio with “Music is Better,” highlighting their crossover appeal and position as pioneers in the live electronic music landscape.
Spanning nearly 50 headline shows across four continents, the Inhale/Exhale World Tour has solidified its position amongst the world’s most iconic live acts, performing in venues traditionally reserved for legacy artists, headlining major festivals around the globe like Lollapalooza, and cementing their status as the only electronic act performing at this scale globally. The tour featured historic moments, including the band becoming the first electronic act to headline Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl and now holding the record for the highest-selling Australian act at the Qudos Bank Arena in their hometown of Sydney, while setting new benchmarks for electronic music and the live ecosystem, reaffirming their broader influence on contemporary musical culture worldwide.
The recent plaque presentation celebrates Rufus Du Sol’s unmatched live performance achievements in 2025. It marks the start of their record-setting journey into 2026, when they head back on tour for their biggest headlining shows in South America and Europe, where demand continues with new shows added this week in Dublin, Düsseldorf, and Bologna. These performances join a staggering run of dates at some of Europe’s most celebrated arenas, including London’s The O2, Paris’s Adidas Arena, and Barcelona’s Palau Sant Jordi.
