Higher Ground Present Sammy Virji Australia 26'
SAMMY VIRJI RETURNS FOR LARGEST AUSTRALIAN TOUR TO DATE Sammy Virji has announced his biggest ever headline Australian shows next February & March. Venues across Australia will play host to the unrivalled energy of a Virji crowd, a milestone moment for the artist at the forefront of UKG’s global resurgence. 2025 has already seen Sammy’s meteoric rise hit new heights: from pulling one of the biggest crowds at Coachella to selling out venues worldwide, alongside recent collaborations with Skepta, Chris Lake, Flowdan, Giggs and more. With his hotly anticipated second album ‘Same Day Cleaning’ landing on 19th September, these Australian shows shows promise to be an unmissable night of high-octane energy and hefty basslines. Sammy is cemented as one of the defining figures in UKG, as the genre takes the world by storm - again. His DJ Mag set from 2023 went extremely viral, propelling him into a new level of fame, not without reason; not only is he a masterful selector, he does it all with a massive smile on his face. He’s gone B2B with Four Tet in Liverpool, been a resident at Radio 1 (including making a renowned Essential Mix for them), and DJ Mag would later nominate him for Best Producer at their Best of British awards. All of this, but he’s not just a sensation in the UK: across the pond, he drew in one of his biggest crowds to date at Forest Hills Stadium, New York, while his last couple of singles www.higher-grnd.com.au have charted as far as New Zealand. His songs have tens of millions of streams each, with ‘If U Need It’ certified Gold, while his Skepta collaboration, the careening banger ‘Cops & Robbers’, made the top 10 in the UK dance charts.
