 Dance music powerhouse John Summit expands his extensive touring schedule with the addition of four European headline dates this month.

• Friday, June 26 - Stockholm, Sweden - Förbindelsehallen
• Saturday, June 27 - Hamburg, Germany - Georg Elser Halle

Summit kicked off his debut residency at [UNVRS] on Monday, marking the start of one of the summer's most anticipated weekly events. Joining Summit for the opening night were Max Styler, AYYBO, and Cole Knight, as thousands of fans gathered to witness the launch of a new production created exclusively for [UNVRS]. Making its debut on the island, the show unveiled the most ambitious evolution yet of the Experts Only visual identity, transforming the brand's signature twisted double diamond into a monumental piece of kinetic architecture.

Kicking off in October, Summit will make stops at major arenas across the country including Chicago, Miami, Brooklyn, Boston, and more bringing his North American CTRL ESCAPE arena tour to life. The tour will feature a new production concept that reflects Summit’s forward thinking approach, creating a larger than life atmosphere and immersive experience for this next era.

CTRL ESCAPE, released earlier this year (April 15, tax day nonetheless), pushes boundaries by fusing a wide array of genres, from heavy-hitting tech-house flair to dubstep, drum & bass, and other broader influences. Taken as a whole, the body of work acts as a portrait of Summit’s life right now — the relentless touring, the stadium gigs that butt right up against the intimate shows he keeps doing in order to maintain a connection to his day one fans, but it’s also designed to be played out in rooms of all sizes. Each track is its own world, its own journey through the past and present of electronic music.

About John Summit

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 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 released his subsequent 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. This Fall he is set to embark on a North American CTRL ESCAPE arena tour, marking his biggest headline run to date.

About Experts Only

Experts Only is more than a record label—it's a global movement born from John Summit’s pursuit of total creative freedom. Founded on the ethos of music without limits, Experts Only refuses to be boxed in, embracing a bold, genre-defying sound that spans house, techno, melodic, and everything in between. Since its inception, the label has become a platform for fearless artistry, showcasing standout releases from cutting-edge talents like Mau P, Kaskade, Odd Mob, Layton Giordani, Cassian, Disco Lines, and Summit himself.

But Experts Only goes far beyond the studio. It’s reshaping the idea of a live dance-music experience, hosting unforgettable events in unlikely settings—from cave raves tucked in the Tennessee hills to snowy mountain takeovers in Vail, Colorado and Tahoe, Nevada, all the way to the lush jungles of Tulum. The brand has scaled internationally to places like Ibiza and Amsterdam, where few American DJs have made such an impact, and has made its mark on major festivals like Bonnaroo with its own curated stage. Experts Only Festival NYC launched in 2025 and will return this year; the two-day event drew 50,000 attendees to Randall’s Island. Experts Only was named Label of the Year at the 2025 Powertools Awards on SiriusXM.

At its core, Experts Only is building a tightly connected global community—artists and fans united by a love of dance music that challenges the norm and hits deeper. Every release, every event, and every experience is a testament to the label’s mission: to push boundaries, set trends, and create a world where true creative expression reigns.
