Sonny Fodera closes out a milestone year by achieving one of the biggest accomplishments of his career: becoming the first DJ to sell out Co-Op Live, the UK’s largest indoor arena. Moreover, the historic moment arrived during the final stretch of his 2025 headline run, which also included sold-out arena dates in Glasgow and Cardiff.
Having emerged from Australia’s club scene more than a decade ago, Fodera has steadily shaped modern house music through a groove-driven, emotive sound that connects with millions around the world. Consequently, his ascent has transformed him into one of dance music’s most in-demand headliners, a status reinforced by the 20,000 fans who travelled from across the UK and beyond to witness his Co-Op Live debut.
The atmosphere inside the arena captured the magnitude of the night, blending high-impact production, explosive crowd energy, and a sense of collective celebration. As Fodera explained afterward: This show was definitely one of the biggest moments of my life… Playing to over 20,000 people in the largest arena in the UK was absolutely crazy. The atmosphere was amazing, and to see everyone dancing, even in their seats, was something I will never forget.
Alongside a catalogue that includes hits such as ‘Someday’ and ‘Asking’, as well as collaborations with MK and Calvin Harris, Fodera’s 2025 touring footprint has been enormous. Furthermore, he delivered major sets at Tomorrowland, Longitude Festival, and Creamfields; curated a 20,000-capacity takeover at Silverworks Island; completed an 18-week residency at Pacha Ibiza; and sold out headline shows across Australia.
Looking ahead, 2026 is already stacking up to be another dominant year. Sonny Fodera is confirmed as a Creamfields headliner, locked for a mainstage slot at TRNSMT before Kasabian, and preparing to launch his own Malta festival, Somedays, featuring MK, Armand Van Helden, DJ EZ, and more.
