Australia's Dangerous Goods XXL Festival has dropped a huge lineup bomb, announcing Steve Aoki as the festival's final 2027 headliner.

Aoki is a two-time Grammy nominee who founded Dim Mark Records and holds the Guinness World Record for the most-travelled musician in one year.

Locked in to play all five events, the known cake thrower joins a massive bill that includes 'Sandstorm' hitmaker Darude, Aussie spinner Havana Brown, German tech house producer Claptone, masked DJ and producer Holy Priest and many more.

Taking place across January 2027, Dangerous Goods XXL Festival makes its first stop in Perth at Joondalup Arena on Friday 15 January. The festival then travels to Sydney's Showground on Saturday 16 January, Brisbane's Eatons Hill on Friday 22 January and Melbourne's Showgrounds on Saturday 23 January, wrapping up on Sunday 24 January at Morphettville Racecourse in Adelaide.

Tickets are on sale now at dangerousgoodsent.com.au.

Dangerous Goods Entertainment is the creation of Melbourne mates Mitchell Lyman and Alex Schmidt, who, after spending nine months attending the biggest dance festivals in Europe, returned home set on creating a similar community of electronic music lovers in Australia.

Working from scratch, the duo have built Dangerous Goods Entertainment into a successful organisation that not only puts on major events, but fosters local talent and the Australian EDM scene.

Dangerous Goods XXL Festival might be their biggest event yet, and with tickets close to selling out, you'll want to nab yours quickly.
