JOHN SUMMIT

Event Info

John Summit is one of the most in-demand names in global dance music. The superstar DJ, producer, and label owner has amassed over a billion global streams, scored two #1 U.S. dance radio hits, and landed eight Top 10 tracks on the Billboard Hot Electronic/Dance Songs chart. Known for his explosive live shows, Summit consistently sells out major venues worldwide, from a lightning-fast, under-two-hour sellout at New York City’s Madison Square Garden to three packed nights at L.A.’s Kia Forum and a headline date at BMO Stadium. His global rise continued with a debut at London’s O2 Arena, followed by a sold-out year-ending performance at Folsom Field that drew 38,000 fans, and the launch of his groundbreaking Experts Only Festival NYC—a two-day event that brought 50,000 people to Randall’s Island in September 2025. John Summit will make his Ibiza residency debut later this year, headlining nine Mondays at [UNVRS] for his first-ever residency on the island. He’ll then return stateside for a hometown headline performance at Lollapalooza. Whether commanding an arena or an underground club, the Chicago native (now based in Miami) brings his signature high-octane energy to every set.

Behind the scenes, Summit is a meticulous and thoughtful artist. Formerly a CPA by day and music tutor by night, he now spends long hours in the studio crafting dynamic, emotionally resonant tracks. As a touring artist, he’s headlined festivals around the world, including the Sahara Stage at Coachella 2024, and produced unforgettable events in unique locations — from the hills of Tennessee to snowy takeovers in Vail, Colorado, and Tahoe, Nevada — all under the banner of his label, Experts Only. Founded in pursuit of complete creative freedom, Experts Only is a global movement built on the principle of music without limits — blending house, techno, melodic, and everything in between. Summit’s global hits like “Where You Are” (feat. HAYLA), “Human” (feat. Echoes), and “Go Back” with Sub Focus (feat. Julia Church) reflect that ethos. He has also been recognized for his impact in the dance music genre through nominations Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, and iHeartRadio Music Awards nominations.

On July 12, 2024, he released his highly anticipated debut album Comfort In Chaos. Exploring themes of vice and virtue, highs and lows, and the duality of the human experience, the album reveals the man behind the icon — pairing Summit’s signature dancefloor energy with raw emotion and introspection. Building on this duality, Summit will release his new album CTRL ESCAPE on April, 15th – reframing that tension through a new lens: the clash between 9–5 monotony and the electric release of the rave. Sonically and visually tracing Summit’s path from accountant to artist, the project positions music not just as an escape, but as a communal force—where collective euphoria becomes both rebellion and belonging.
