Five days. One island. An extraordinary dancefloor. SXM Festival reveals the first wave of artists for its 10th edition, taking place 17–21 March 2027 on the Caribbean island of St. Martin, with Bob Sinclar, MEDUZA, Sasha, Claptone, Dombresky (Disco Dom), Franky Rizardo and Brunello leading the Phase One lineup, joined by Guy Gerber, Patrick Topping, Dennis Cruz, Chelina Manuhutu, Deer Jade, Matt Sassari, Max Styler and more.
Since its first edition in 2016, SXM has built a reputation around something difficult to recreate anywhere else: an entire island becoming part of the festival. There is no single festival site. Over five days, guests move between beaches, villas, clubs, hilltops and unexpected locations across both the French and Dutch sides of St. Martin – the island isn’t simply where the festival takes place, it’s part of the experience.
For its 10th edition, SXM returns to the idea that started it all: exceptional music, extraordinary places and enough freedom for the unexpected to happen.
Music has always come first at SXM. Rather than building the biggest lineup possible, the festival has developed its identity through a carefully curated mix of established artists, respected selectors and emerging talent, and the 2027 lineup continues that approach.
French house icon Bob Sinclar joins global electronic trio MEDUZA and progressive house pioneer Sasha, alongside Claptone, Guy Gerber, Dombresky (Disco Dom) and a new generation of artists shaping the international electronic music scene. Across previous editions, SXM has welcomed artists including Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, BLOND:ISH, Bonobo and Richie Hawtin, while introducing its audience to emerging names at pivotal moments in their careers. Every artist has to make sense for the island, the location and the moment.
SXM is as much about St. Martin as it is about the lineup. The island’s French and Dutch sides each have their own culture, atmosphere and rhythm, and during SXM, guests experience both, moving between venues and discovering the island along the way.
A day might begin on a beach, continue over lunch in a small village, move to a sunset party and end somewhere completely different from where anyone expected. You run into people you met the night before. Someone tells you about another party. A quick stop turns into three hours, and the same faces start appearing at restaurants, on boats, on beaches and eventually back on the dancefloor.
With guests travelling from more than 58 countries in recent editions, SXM creates an international community that feels surprisingly familiar by the end of the week. And at a time when almost everything is planned, posted and documented as it happens, SXM still leaves room to disappear for a while. Some of the best moments aren’t on the schedule.
SXM Festival Founder Julian Prince says “From the beginning, I never wanted SXM to be the biggest festival. I wanted people to go home with stories they would still be telling years later. You come for the music, but then the island takes over. You discover places you didn’t know existed, meet people you never expected to meet, and suddenly you’re watching the sun come up with friends you made two days ago. Ten editions later, that feeling is still there. Protecting it is what matters most to me.”
Ten editions don’t happen without an island that believes in you. When Hurricane Irma devastated St. Martin in 2017, the SXM community rallied around the island and supported its recovery. The pandemic brought another interruption, but the relationship between the festival and St. Martin endured through it all, SXM kept coming back.
Today, local crews, suppliers, venues, restaurants, hotels, drivers and businesses across both sides of St. Martin remain integral to the festival. Its impact extends beyond the dancefloor: international guests stay in local hotels and villas, eat in restaurants, rent cars and boats, and discover the island throughout their stay. For SXM, sustainability is not only environmental — it’s about building an event that maintains a positive, lasting relationship with the place that hosts it.
The 10th edition celebrates the artists, island partners, team members and international community that have shaped SXM since its beginning. Ten editions later, St. Martin isn’t simply the backdrop to SXM it’s the reason SXM feels like SXM.
As SXM enters its second decade, the festival remains committed to the spirit that defined its beginning: bringing people together through music, discovery and the freedom to experience St. Martin in their own way. The 2027 edition will celebrate that legacy while opening a new chapter, with further artists, parties and anniversary experiences to be revealed in the coming months.

ARIA-nominated electronic duo Hermitude are heading across Australia this summer with the EIGHT TIL LATE TOUR, celebrating the release of their new EIGHT album with a run of dates around the country.
Hermitude’s Luke Dubs says: “This summer we’re bringing that late night club energy with DJ sets all across the country. Playing some fave haunts and some spots we’ve never been to before, this tour is bound to be nothing short of legendary.”
Hailing from the Blue Mountains, the duo have continued to build an international following with their eighth album, adding to the billions of streams generated by tracks including The Buzz and HyperParadise. In 2026, Hermitude are taking that energy to dancefloors across Australia, with 24 summer dates scheduled in destinations including Margaret River, Albury, Cairns, Rockhampton, Darwin, Port Macquarie and Geelong, alongside many more locations.
The Eight Til Late Tour also marks a new chapter for Oztix, with the ticketing company taking on a co-promoter role as part of its partnership with Hermitude.
Stu Field, Founder and Managing Director of Oztix, says:
“Twenty years in this industry teaches you where the real value is, right alongside the venues and artists making it happen, not just selling the tickets. Hermitude’s tour is proof of that: our team has been involved from concept to launch, helping connect artists with venues and get that marketing support as well. We’re an independently owned company, which means when we see a better way to support Australian venues and the wider music industry, we can just go and do it. This tour is the clearest sign yet of where Oztix is headed, as a genuine partner building the whole thing with our local venues and artists. It’s the next stage of what we do.”

Ministry of Sound has revealed a series of events packed with exclusives, underground stars and true pioneers from October through to New Year’s Eve as the London club enters the final months of its 35th year. The programme follows a landmark year of celebrations, upgrades, collaborations, new nights, immersive concepts and much more.
The celebrations begin with the club’s official 35th Birthday Anniversary on 2nd and 3rd October, spanning three events across the weekend. Friday’s Louder party will see d&b don Andy C return to Ministry of Sound for the first time in 10 years, with Charlie Tee, Junk Mail and special guests TBA. The following day, the long-running Hard Times brings together Kerri Chandler and Moodymann for a long-awaited return alongside Flo Real. The birthday weekend continues on Saturday night with the club’s own edgy new night, URGE, headlined by Desolat label head Loco Dice, who returns to Ministry of Sound after a decade, alongside Joëlla Jackson, Ramoss and Basso.
The programme continues throughout October with Eli & Fur making their Ministry of Sound debut at Parable on 9 October, followed by events spanning house, techno, drum & bass, bass music and UKG. Seven Lions, Muzz and Kill The Noise feature at Monstercat on 16 October, while DJ Luck & MC Neat, Scott Garcia and DJ Cartier lead Garage Nation’s daytime session on Halloween.
November brings further debuts and returns as Lilly Palmer plays Ministry of Sound for the first time as part of Louder on 7 November, while the same day sees Clockwork Orange return to the club for the first time in 10 years, with venerated veterans Fat Tony, Graeme Park, Alistair Whitehead and Grant Nelson all on the lineup. Later in the month, Robbie Doherty headlines on 21 November before Armand Van Helden returns to the club on 28 November, joined by Jade Edwards, Egmond, DJ Freespirit and Junior Pappa.
December continues the anniversary year through to its final weeks, with programmes including Louder, Bresh, UKG Brunch, La Fiesta, Home Rooted and Soul Session. The year will culminate on 31 December with Ministry of Sound’s signature New Year’s Eve celebration featuring a special guest to be announced at a later date.
“It’s been a huge year for the club, and we’re looking to celebrate with the same energy we had at the start. From some of the pioneers who have shaped our history to the next generation pushing things forward, there’s something across the coming months for everyone.” Says Club Director Matt Long
This series forms the final stage of a year-long series of initiatives celebrating 35 years of Ministry of Sound. Alongside its club programme, the anniversary year has included the release of Ministry of Sound: Anthology, a book documenting the club’s history; Boxed In, a live-streamed talent competition focused on emerging DJs; Last Orders, an immersive food and music experience within the newly renovated main room; and a return to Ibiza in September with a 528 takeover, marking Ministry of Sound’s first event on the island in more than a decade.
Across the coming months, the breadth of music and range of communities that have formed part of Ministry of Sound’s history are all represented in style next to next-generation stars who keep the club right at the forefront.
Tickets are available at Ministry of Sound tickets and events – London, United Kingdom

Five-time Grammy-nominated composer and electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani is returning to Australia in November and December 2026 for a series of performances, talks, film screenings and Q&A events.
The Australian program includes a series of intimate collaborative performances presented in quadraphonic surround sound, as well as appearances at galleries, cultural institutions and the Meredith Music Festival.
Ciani is scheduled to perform live in quadraphonic sound at ACO On The Pier in Sydney on Sunday 29 November, Altar Bar in Hobart on Thursday 3 December, and The Edge at Fed Square in Melbourne on Sunday 6 December. Her Melbourne performance will feature Liquid Architecture and MESS.
She will also make her first appearance at the Meredith Music Festival on Friday 11 December. The Meredith performance is listed as sold out.
Alongside the performances, Ciani will take part in a series of talks, film screenings, Q&A sessions and a workshop. The program begins on Saturday 28 November at the Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney with a screening of Sisters with Transistors. Further events are scheduled at Powerhouse Parramatta on Tuesday 1 December and MESS in Melbourne on Tuesday 8 December.
Ciani’s career spans more than five decades. She has released more than 20 solo albums, including Seven Waves and The Velocity of Love, as well as the landmark quadraphonic album LIVE Quadraphonic.
Her work has also extended beyond recorded music and live performance. Ciani created the pop and pour sound used in Coca-Cola advertising and provided the voice and sounds for Bally’s Xenon pinball machine. Her career has included work across commercials, film and other forms of sound design.
Classically trained before moving towards electronic music, Ciani became closely associated with analogue modular synthesis and the Buchla synthesizer. She has described her instruments as musical collaborators and played an original Buchla for decades.
Her life and work were documented in the film A Life in Waves, which debuted at SXSW in 2017.
The 2026 Australian visit follows a year that has included further international performances and appearances. Ciani is also scheduled to perform at venues and festivals across Europe and the United States later in 2026.
In Australia, the 2026 program will offer audiences multiple opportunities to experience Ciani’s work through live electronic performance, quadraphonic sound, conversation and film.Presented in partnership with Corner Soul.

The event will begin at Powerhouse in Brisbane on Tuesday 3 November, followed by Factory Theatre in Sydney on Wednesday 4 November and Thornbury Theatre in Melbourne on Thursday 5 November.
Margera will be joined by longtime friend and collaborator Joe Frantz, a filmmaker and producer associated with Viva La Bam, CKY, Jackass and other skate and punk projects. The evening will cover Margera’s early CKY days and the skate scene, followed by Jackass, Viva La Bam and his move into the mainstream.
Frantz will bring footage from his personal archives, including material described in the announcement as never before seen. The event will also feature stories about the friends and characters around Margera, bands he admired and played with, life on the road, the skate and punk scene, and experiences behind the cameras of shows and films from that period.
Margera is also set to speak about drugs, addiction, the consequences of that lifestyle and coming through the other side.
In the announcement, Margera said he would be telling stories from that period of his life, while Frantz would bring footage including skate demos, Viva La Bam stunts, touring with bands and material that did not make it onto television.
An Evening With Bam Margera is an 18+ event featuring adult themes, strong language and discussion of drug use and addiction.

There are few pop performers who understand the ingredients of a blockbuster live show quite like Jason Derulo. After years of chart-topping singles, viral dance moments and a reputation for turning almost any stage into a full-scale production. Derulo brought his Last Dance Tour to Sydney’s Afterpay Arena, delivering a night packed with nostalgia, choreography and some of the biggest hits of his career.
From the moment the show opened with “Sexy For Me” it was clear that this was never going to be a performance built around simply standing behind a microphone. Derulo immediately commanded the stage with his dancers and slick choreography before launching into “Wiggle” and “Acapulco”, setting the tone for a show that constantly moved between pop, R&B, dance and global influences.
The first major eruption from the crowd came with “Whatcha Say” Released in 2009 the song remains one of Derulo’s defining hits, and hearing thousands of fans sing along to its instantly recognisable melody demonstrated just how much of his catalogue has become embedded in pop culture. The nostalgia continued with “Marry Me”, before the set shifted into more international territory with “Ta Ta Ta” and “Mi Chico”.
“Mi Chico” became one of the night’s most memorable moments for an entirely different reason. Rather than keeping the performance confined to the stage, Derulo brought a fan from the crowd up to join him for the song’s choreography. The interaction added an unpredictable element to the performance with the fan getting the opportunity to dance alongside one of pop’s biggest performers while the audience cheered her on.
From there, Derulo moved through a string of crowd favourites, including “Swalla”, “Tip Toe” and “It Girl” Each song came with its own visual identity and choreography reinforcing Derulo’s reputation as a performer who treats dance as an equally important part of his music.
The middle portion of the show leaned further into the musical side of his catalogue. “Complicated” and “Ridin Solo” were met with particularly strong reactions with the latter producing another wave of nostalgia for fans who have followed Derulo since the beginning of his career.
Then came one of the biggest moments of the night “Savage Love” The Jawsh 685 collaboration has become one of Derulo’s most recognisable songs of the streaming era, and the Sydney crowd responded accordingly. But rather than simply moving on after the hit, Derulo completely changed the atmosphere by performing a stripped-back version of “Savage Love”.
By the time “Trumpets” and “Talk Dirty” arrived, the arena was in full singalong mode. These are the songs that have defined Derulo’s career for Australian audiences and hearing the crowd respond to every beat of “Talk Dirty” highlighted the longevity of his biggest singles.
Derulo eventually brought the show full circle by closing with another performance of “Mi Chico” ending the night with one final burst of choreography.
What made Derulo’s Sydney performance stand out was not simply the number of hits packed into the set. It was the way he constantly changed the pace of the night. Huge dance productions were followed by stripped back vocal moments and his biggest hits were mixed with global collaborations along with carefully rehearsed choreography balanced with spontaneous interactions with fans.
For an artist with a catalogue stretching across more than a decade, Derulo could have easily relied on nostalgia alone. Instead, the Sydney show demonstrated why he remains such a compelling live performer. Songs like “Whatcha Say,” “Ridin’ Solo,” “Trumpets” and “Want to Want Me” reminded the audience of the hits that made him a household name, while newer music and new global collaborations showed the evolution of his sound.

Hayley Williams will bring “The Hayley Williams Show” to Australia for two intimate headline performances in February 2027, with shows confirmed for Sydney and Melbourne.
Presented by Frontier Touring, the Australian dates will take place at Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Wednesday 10 February and Forum in Melbourne on Wednesday 17 February.
“The Hayley Williams Show” features material spanning all three of Williams’ solo albums, alongside what the announcement describes as “exciting surprises”. The show launched in Florida this month, following extensive sold out dates across North and Central America in 2026 and 2027.
The tour has already sold out venues including Forest Hills Stadium in New York and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
The Australian shows will mark Williams’ first solo tour of Australia. She was last in Australia in 2023 with Paramore for the band’s East Coast dates, including a performance at Sydney’s The Domain that attracted more than 25,000 fans.
Williams is a three time GRAMMY winning singer, songwriter and musician best known as the frontperson of Paramore. Her solo catalogue includes Petals for Armor, Flowers for Vases / descansos and Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party.
Her work with Paramore includes the albums All We Know Is Falling, Riot!, Brand New Eyes, Paramore, After Laughter and This Is Why. Paramore’s 2023 album This Is Why won GRAMMY Awards for Best Alternative Music Performance and Best Rock Album.
Williams’ latest solo album, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, was nominated for four GRAMMY Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album, Best Alternative Music Performance for ‘Parachute’, Best Rock Performance for ‘Mirtazapine’ and Best Rock Song for ‘Glum’.

Sydney rock band C.O.F.F.I.N have released their sixth studio album, Out In Oslo, via p(doom) records, alongside a new video for the album’s focus track, ‘Gettin’ Down’.
The release also arrives with the band’s feature-length documentary, 10,000 Miles From Oslo, which premiered on Rolling Stone and is now available to watch online.
Produced by Declan Mehrtens, known for his work with Amyl and The Sniffers, with vocals co-produced by Jason Whalley of Frenzal Rhomb, Out In Oslo sees C.O.F.F.I.N expand on the sound established across their previous releases. The album retains the grit and energy associated with the band while incorporating broader dynamics, richer textures and a more expansive approach to songwriting.
The album follows the release of singles including ‘13 Days’, C.O.F.F.I.N’s first acoustic track, ‘Sleep In It’ and ‘Think Bad’. Across those releases, the band explored a more varied pace and approach, moving beyond their traditionally wall-of-sound presentation into grooves and arrangements drawing on rock’n’roll influences.
‘Gettin’ Down’ is accompanied by a video directed by C.O.F.F.I.N vocalist Ben Portnoy. The clip presents the band and their friends during a night out, deliberately contrasting the celebratory atmosphere of the visuals with the song’s more troubled subject matter.
Portnoy has previously directed videos for Cutters, Grace Cummings and Stiff Richards, and was recently featured on Rage.
C.O.F.F.I.N formed on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and have built their reputation through an extensive touring history, sharing stages with acts including Amyl and The Sniffers, Viagra Boys and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
Their previous full-length album, Australia Stops, was released in 2023 and received an ARIA nomination for Best Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Album, as well as a National Live Music Award nomination for Best Hard Rock / Heavy Album.
The accompanying documentary, 10,000 Miles From Oslo, follows more than two decades of C.O.F.F.I.N, from founding members Ben Portnoy and Abijah Rado beginning to perform together at the age of 12 through to the band’s development into an internationally touring live act. The film also features Aaron Moss and Steven “Kosty” Kostogiannis and focuses on the friendships and history behind the band.
With Out In Oslo now released, C.O.F.F.I.N will return to Australia for their biggest headline shows to date in February and March 2027, with dates scheduled for Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Hobart. Before that run, the band are scheduled to play the King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard-curated Block Party in Melbourne/Naarm on 18 October 2026.

Grammy Award winning singer songwriter Leon Bridges will return to Australia in February and March 2027 with The Happiness Anytime Tour, marking his seventh Australian visit.
The tour will begin at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Friday 26 February before travelling to Brisbane, Fremantle, Adelaide and Melbourne. Bridges will perform at On the Banks at Brisbane’s Cultural Forecourt QPAC, Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre, WOMADelaide Festival and Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens.
Bridges’ Australian return coincides with the release of his fifth studio album, Happiness Anytime, with the final instalment, Part 3, scheduled for release on 25 September via Columbia Records.
Parts 1 and 2 of the album have already been released. According to the announcement, the project combines elements of Bridges’ 2015 debut album Coming Home with influences from his collaborations with Khruangbin.
The 12 song album was produced by J Lloyd Watson and Lydia Kitto of British trio Jungle. Movement, groove and joy are central themes throughout the record, with Bridges describing happiness as something he wants the album to leave with listeners rather than something to be chased.
The album rollout has included pop up performances in Paris, Cannes, Los Angeles, at Montreux Jazz Festival, London, Chicago and Outside Lands. Bridges has also introduced a new live production titled Leon Bridges Presents Happiness Anytime, featuring a DJ, horn section, three backing vocalists and Bridges performing at the front of the stage.
Special guest 54 Ultra will join Bridges for the Sydney, Brisbane, Fremantle and Melbourne dates. The New Jersey based project is the solo work of singer, songwriter and producer JohnAnthony Rodriguez. His latest release, Tell Me, is described in the announcement as a bilingual indie soul track incorporating Latin influences and indie rock.
In Melbourne, Australian funk group Surprise Chef will also join the bill at the Royal Botanic Gardens. The Coburg quartet will bring material from their forthcoming fifth studio album, Frogs In A Pond, which is set for release via Concord Jazz.
The Australian dates are presented by Frontier Touring and Penny Drop.
