Sydney dance veterans The Presets have announced an extensive national DJ tour throughout July, August, and September in celebration of their 20th anniversary. The ’20 Years 20 Nights’ tour will kick off on Friday, 14th July at the Village Green Hotel in Mulgrave, before they move a bunch of east coast venues and finish up finally in Darwin on Saturday, 9th September.

The duo have apparently locked in a bunch of special guests that will be appearing at each stop on the tour – no word yet on who those guests will be. See all the dates and details below.

The Presets: ‘This Boy’s In Love’

“We’ve been lucky enough to play the biggest stages and festivals in the world over the past 20 years”, Kim Moyes shared in a statement. “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.”

Julian Hamilton adds that their DJs sets are “more freewheeling and immediate” than their live shows. “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.” 

Kim Moyes and Julian Hamilton met at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and began DJing around the city in 2003. They would go on to become one of Australia’s biggest dance acts, riding the Modular label wave to success off the back of breakout album Apocalypso. Their last full-length was HI VIZ in 2018; they released an EP called Raka in 2019, and dropped a single called ‘You Belong’ in 2022.
