RÜFÜS DU SOL

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Rüfüs Du Sol established themselves as a unique presence in the electronic-music scene by combining live and electronic instrumentation with evocative lyricism and a danceable beat. Their first full-length album, Atlas, debuted at #1 in Australia in 2013. For its followup, Bloom (2016), the band headed to Germany and found inspiration in the textured electronic strands coming out of Berlin's techno clubs, which influenced their seminal masterpiece, "Innerbloom," and their breakthrough hit, "You Were Right."

The band originally went by the name Rüfüs, which felt mysterious and foreign but familiar. As it turned out, it was a little too familiar. The trio was forced to change it to Rüfüs Du Sol in North America to avoid confusion with the Chicago funk band of the same name. In 2018, they officially became known by their new name worldwide.

Rüfüs Du Sol place a lot of importance on their live shows, where they consider the staging as a fourth band member who dazzles the audience with lighting and visuals that enhance the emotional feel of the music. Keyboardist Jon George's brother, Katzki, is their longtime creative director. He's taken inspiration from several electronic and rock acts, but for the band's global Inhale/Exhale tour, he adopted a stripped-down industrial aesthetic modeled after Spanish pop star Rosalia's shows. The Inhale/Exhale tour made history in 2025 as the biggest-selling electronic tour of all time.
