James Hype - 2026 Aus Tour

After sold-out shows across Australia, James Hype returns to Melbourne this February for a headline performance at The Timber Yard.

From early days spinning hip-hop and R&B, James eventually found his home in house music. His depth of musical heritage, combined with serious technical ability, that's made him one of the most respected selectors in the game.

What sets James Hype apart is his willingness to push the boundaries of what DJing can be. Using hot cues, loops, samples and live mixing, he hasdeveloped a spontaneous, dynamic approach that recreates music on the fly – turning every set into something genuinely unpredictable. In an era where pre-recorded sets and sync buttons dominate, watching James work is a reminder of what DJing looked like before the shortcuts.

His production track record backs it all up: 'Ferrari' hit number one across Europe and has clocked over two billion streams, while 'More Than Friends' became another UK Top 10. He's worked with Major Lazer, sampled Justin Timberlake on 'Drums' with Kim Petras, and built over 10 million monthly Spotify listeners.

From his Our House residency at Hï Ibiza with Meduza to main stages at EDC, Tomorrowland and Mysteryland, plus regular runs in Las Vegas at spots like Marquee Club, James has become a fixture on the global circuit.
