Hot Dub Time Machine

"A show that has turned Sydney DJ Tom Lowndes into an international music phenomenon.” - The Australian Since first launching his time-travelling, ‘dance-through-the-decades’ audio-visual party concept in 2011, Sydney’s Tom Lowndes has grown Hot Dub Time Machine into an absolute monster. This Australian DJ – who showcases songs from every decade and genre of music, weaving it into one expansive, electrifying, music history lesson - has been welcomed by international audiences with open arms; with a phenomenal 200,000 tickets already sold worldwide. Hot Dub is a main stage regular at festivals all over the world, including Australia's Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, and Groovin the Moo, the UK's Reading and Leeds, Latitude, and T in the Park (Rip), Europe's legendary Tomorrowland, Benicassim, and EDC Berlin, Asia's It's The Ship and even, back in 2015, Coachella, in the USA. His headline tours move staggering amounts of tickets, with over 12,500 people enjoying two wild solo shows in 2017's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, two massive shows at London's legendary 'Brixton Academy,' and huge sold-out tours across his Australian home. So huge that he started his own festival 'Wine Machine' in 2016 to take the shows outdoors, into vineyards with a lineup of amazing local artists. It became a national, touring festival moving well over 50,000 tickets a year. This festival business also started Sydney's 'New Year's Eve in the Park,' 'Snow Machine,' 'Stein Machine' and more. In 2020 Hot Dub chose part ways with Wine Machine and is no longer at all involved in owning or running any festivals. Recently Hot Dub has become a regular performer at massive sporting events, including the Australian Open Tennis, Formula One, Hong Kong Sevens, Cricket and more, bringing together diverse crowds the power of awesome music and good times. The biggest crowds of Hot Dub's career are 80,000 at Edinburgh's NYE 'Hogmanay,' 40,000 in Sydney's Domain supporting Chaka Khan and 30,000 at the Falls Festival Byron main stage. Hot Dub Time Machine consistently delivers stellar live performances that are near impossible not to enjoy. He pinpoints the happiest moments of your partying days past, and re-creates those moments to perfection for you all over again; intertwining them with the right here and the right now - in the most exhilarating way possible. It's the Best. Party. Ever!

Had an AMAZING time on the Snow Machine mainstage last night!!! It’s such a joy to be back. I feel like the deadbeat dad who had absolutely nothing to do with its upbringing, but it’s got a bit of my DNA in it anyway and I’m proud of the hardworking, passionate people who have raised a joyful, beautiful little festival 💙 it’s wonderful. Hopefully they’ll have me back 😃

Here’s some more AMAZING Ryan Johnston photos from last week’s final two Edinburgh shows 😃

I love looking through Ryan’s photos. He’s got a rare gift for capturing the energy of a night. He first took photos of me a decade ago from the crowd at Hogmanay 2015... and now he's one of the hardest working music photographers in Scotland. Coz he's a lovely man, always super professional and is very talented. Nice one Ryan. Have a great weekend everyone! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We’re done! Over the last 5 weeks, in Glasgow, North Berwick, London and Edinburgh you’ve bought almost 10,000 tickets to see this random Aussie play songs in chronological order. I’m trying to be glib, but I’m actually quite emotional writing this. It means a lot that you guys STILL love what I do after so many years. I hit a wall half way through the month and was wondering if it was worth it to be away from home…. but it’s those sweaty hugs at the end of the shows, the messages, the love and warmth I feel onstage, the pure joy of the gigs…. I never take your support for granted. It’s wonderful 💙 Thank you. There are some things I want to change, I’ll keep working to make it better. And I’ll be back. I hope 💙
