Get ready to dance! LIV Golf Adelaide is turning up the volume in 2026, and you won't believe who's headlining the Saturday night party. But here's where it gets controversial: can golf and electronic music really mix? The answer, according to LIV Golf, is a resounding YES!
Global DJ and producer John Summit, known for his infectious beats and chart-topping hits, is set to ignite The Grange Golf Club on Saturday, February 14th, at 7 p.m. Imagine this: the final round of world-class golf wraps up, and then BAM! The course transforms into a massive dance floor. Summit's performance promises to be an electrifying experience, extending the excitement of the tournament well into the night. Think of it as a music festival breaking out right in the middle of a major golf event!
But John Summit isn't the only reason to get excited. The entire four-day event, running from February 12th to 15th, is packed with world-class golf, entertainment, and live music. Popular Australian acts Peking Duk (Thursday), Royel Otis (Friday), and FISHER (Sunday) will also be taking the stage, creating a non-stop party atmosphere. It's a true fusion of sport and entertainment, something LIV Golf is quickly becoming known for. This is much more than just a golf tournament; it's a full-blown entertainment experience.
Speaking of Peking Duk, these Canberra natives, Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles, will be kicking off the musical festivities on Thursday, February 12th, at 5 p.m., immediately after round one. Get ready to hear brand new music alongside their crowd favorites like 'High' (a four-times platinum single!) and 'Stranger' (with over 50 million streams on Spotify). This ARIA award-winning duo has earned a reputation as one of Australiaâs most beloved electronic music acts, and their high-energy performance is the perfect way to start the weekend.
Now, let's get back to John Summit. This Miami resident has amassed over 1.5 billion global streams. His high-energy performance featuring chart-topping hits like 'Where You Are' and 'Shiver' will continue LIV Golfâs tradition of providing fans with festival-level entertainment. And this is the part most people miss: concert access is included in all ticket and hospitality options for the respective days! So, if you're attending on Thursday for Peking Duk or Saturday for John Summit, the live performance is part of the package, alongside the world-class golf action.
Limited tickets for LIV Golf Adelaide 2026 are still available at LIVGolf.com, including Grounds Pass and Grounds Plus tickets. A select number of premium hospitality spaces are also available in the Barossa, Birdie Shack, and Ripper Point areas, offering premium views and an unbeatable atmosphere for the eventâs blockbuster entertainment.

John Summit, a superstar DJ, producer, and label owner, has already scored two No. 1 U.S. dance radio hits and landed two Top 10 tracks on the Billboard Hot Electronic/Dance Songs chart. He consistently sells out major venues worldwide, and fresh off his first Ibiza residency this year, LIV Golfâs Saturday headliner is a rare chance to see Summit perform in Australia. From the first note to the final drop, his set promises to elevate the tournament atmosphere and deliver a one-of-a-kind experience for fans.
In a LIV Golf Adelaide first, the electric Saturday concert will be streamed internationally via the LIV Golf YouTube channel as part of the leagueâs commitment to their growing fanbase across the globe. This is a huge move, making the event accessible to a wider audience and solidifying LIV Golf's global reach.
And that's not all! Fans can also look forward to exclusive merchandise collaborations with both John Summit and FISHER, as the artists showcase their love for the worldâs first truly global golf league. It's another example of how LIV Golf is blending sport, culture, and entertainment in innovative ways.
Since its debut in 2022, music has been an integral part of LIV Golf's identity. LIV Golf events have showcased over two dozen GRAMMY award-winning artists. In 2025 alone, they hosted more than 30 concerts â a number that will rise to 40 in 2026. Beyond headline acts, music features heavily across the LIV Golf program, with player walk-ons and specially curated playlists for fans across the course. Music is woven into the fabric of the event, creating a unique and unforgettable atmosphere.
Premier of South Australia the Hon. Peter Malinauskas MP stated that LIV Golf Adelaide continues to showcase South Australia as a destination for live music and entertainment, elevating the experience for fans by bringing global talent like John Summit to headline the Saturday of the tournament. He also proudly highlighted the fact that three of the four headlining acts are home-grown Aussies, shining a spotlight on what Australian music has to offer on a global scale.
LIV Golf Executive Vice President, Head of Events, Ross Hallett, emphasized that LIV Golf is known for bringing the worldâs best DJs and musicians to Adelaide and expressed excitement about welcoming John Summit to LIV Golf Adelaide this February. He highlighted Summit's high-energy performances perfectly complement the vibe and culture of LIV Golf, providing fans with an unforgettable night of music, fun, dance, and community for everyone.
