Ninajirachi is levelling up again — today announcing the biggest Australian headline shows of her career with Dark Crystal V, the next chapter in her long-running, cult-beloved series that’s reshaped the sound of Australia’s electronic underground. Presented by Laneway Presents, TEG Live and New World Artists, the 2026 run hits some of the country’s most iconic rooms next July, with support from Lucy Bedroque and daine. Tickets drop on 27 Nov at 10am.

After a year that’s seen her debut at Coachella and Primavera, sell out tours across Australia and the US, and spark ecstatic queues across the UK and EU — including a sold-out London show before her album even dropped — Ninajirachi now steps into the biggest chapter of her ascent. She’ll headline Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, Brisbane’s Princess Theatre, Adelaide’s The Gov, Melbourne’s Forum and Perth’s Rechabite, crystalising a global breakout year that’s felt more like a coronation.

It’s no surprise these rooms are hers now. Nina has dominated 2025, becoming the most-nominated artist at the ARIA Awards and walking away with three of the biggest trophies: Best Solo Artist, the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist Award, and Best Independent Release. It caps off a run that’s seen her redefine who gets to lead the next wave of electronic music, with the fearlessness of someone determined to build worlds, not just tracks.

Her debut album I Love My Computer, released via NLV Records, has been hailed as the defining electronic release of 2025. A shimmering, emotionally loaded, future-facing odyssey through pop, club and the glossy nostalgia of the early 2010s, the album has been praised everywhere from The Guardian (5/5) and Rolling Stone, to Billboard, Resident Advisor, NME and Dazed. It’s taken home the Australian Music Prize, triple j Album of the Year, J Award for Music Video of the Year, and cemented Ninajirachi as the new benchmark for Australian electronic innovation.

Along the way, she’s collaborated or shared stages with Charli XCX, Porter Robinson, RL Grime, Alison Wonderland, deadmaus5, Princess Nokia, Kota Banks, Anna Lunoe, ISOxo and more. And while the co-signs now range from Caroline Polachek to Addison Rae, to BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, Ninajirachi’s story remains grounded in her roots on the NSW Central Coast — a testament to the kid who learned to shape worlds via her computer long before she ever stepped into the clubs she now sells out.
