Berlin's global icon Marlon Hoffstadt, aka DJ Daddy Trance, returns to Australia this December.

Following his completely sold-out Australian tour in January 2025, including shows at Hordern Pavilion and back-to-back nights at PICA, Marlon Hoffstadt has announced two massive headline shows for December. The tour is presented by Untitled Group and triple j, marking another milestone in what has become a huge global success story for the Berlin-based artist.

The announcement comes off the back of headline slots at Beyond The Valley, Wildlands and Lost Paradise, with Melbourne and Sydney now ranking as Hoffstadt’s top global streaming cities. The electronic music powerhouse has solidified his status as a cult favourite in Australia and recently performed at EDC Las Vegas to more than 70,000 fans, representing a major US breakthrough.
