Iconic Australian electronic music duo, The Presets, have announced the addition of five new dates to their highly anticipated 20th Anniversary DJ Tour. Due to an overwhelming demand and rapid sellouts, these additional shows will give more fans the opportunity to experience the duo’s euphoric DJ sets at the local venues we love.
Following the initial wave of demand, the duo have announced a second show at Torquay Hotel on Thursday, July 13, before making a second appearance at the Miranda Hotel on Thursday, August 31. Selling out during the first few days of release, The Presets have added a second date at Dee Why RSL on Sunday, September 3, ahead of a another act in Melbourne at the legendary Esplanade Hotel on Sunday, September 17. Bringing their tour celebrations to a wrap, the electronic duo have listened to fan demand and will be making a special appearance in Fremantle at Freo Social on Saturday, October 2.
Returning to the intimate settings of local clubs and pubs which defined the duo’s early years back in 2003, the ‘20 Years. 20+ Nights. DJ Tour’ is an unmissable experience for fans to relive the electric spirit of The Presets.

In 2003 two young Sydneysiders started making beats together at their inner-city studio. They began by banging out DJ sets in small clubs, testing out tracks they’d made together at home alongside tunes that were inspiring them at the time.
In the 20 years since, The Presets’ live show has grown into an audio-visual behemoth that’s dominated festival main stages around the world, but a recent visit to a legendary Sydney nightclub where the duo cut their teeth inspired the guys to celebrate their anniversary by going back to where it all began.
The Presets are excited to announce 20 nights of DJ sets around Australia, playing at small clubs and bars, reconnecting with the electric spirit that got them making music in the first place.

“We’ve been lucky enough to play the biggest stages and festivals in the world over the past 20 years”, explains Kim Moyes, “but nothing compares to the buck-wild intensity of an intimate party. They are an entirely different beast and we can’t wait to unleash over these 20 nights.”
“DJing in small clubs is a whole different experience to performing our usual live show on the big stage with the lights and visuals and things like that”, adds Julian. “It is more freewheeling and immediate – we feed off the energy of the crowd, weaving our own tracks in with classic jams by our favourite artists. So it’s a 20 years celebration of not only our music, but also all the incredible tunes that inspire us. Plus we get a chance to throw in a few unreleased surprises too.”
Special guests will appear each night, handpicked by The Presets to create a series of one off events.
