The dance trio returns to Australia for the first time since 2015 as the Live Nation festival expands into its second year.
Major Lazer will headline New Year’s at the Bowl in Melbourne on Dec. 31, marking the group’s first Australian show since 2015 as the festival returns for a second year at Sidney Myer Music Bowl and the surrounding Kings Domain gardens.
The Diplo-founded act — now rounded out by Walshy Fire, Ape Drums and vocalist America Foster, who joined in 2025 — headlines a lineup that also includes Don West, DJ Seinfeld, Flight Facilities, CC:Disco!, Helena Hauff and Todd Terje, with a still-unannounced special guest set to close out the night’s countdown to midnight.
Major Lazer built its catalog around global hits including “Lean On,” which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 48 weeks on the chart, and “Cold Water” featuring Justin Bieber, which peaked at No.
