Dom Dolla Makes ARIA History: First Global Impact Award Winner

Electronic music artist Dom Dolla is celebrating a landmark achievement at the ARIA Awards, securing the newly established Global Impact Award. This recognition highlights his significant breakthrough and cultural influence on the international stage over the past year. Dolla expressed surprise and honor at being the first recipient, emphasizing its importance in representing Australian dance music globally.

Dolla's recent success includes selling a record 170,000 tickets across four Australian dates, a first for a local electronic artist. He is also slated to make history as the first DJ to perform at Sydney's Allianz Stadium on December 20th. His global achievements extend to sold-out shows at MSG, releasing his first soundtrack anthem, completing residencies in Ibiza and Las Vegas, and earning a Grammy nomination for his remix of Gorillaz's 'New Gold'.

This latest ARIA honor adds to Dolla's impressive collection, having previously won the best dance/electronic release award three times. With seven additional nominations, he is positioned for further accolades at the 39th annual ARIA Awards.
