Dom Dolla & KETTAMA Get Loud at Head Trip 2026
Dom Dolla and KETTAMA were loud. That is the first useful thing to say about their Head Trip back-to-back, and it gets close to the reason it was so much fun. Sunday’s revised schedule had packed an extraordinary number of DJs into one evening. Before the closing run of Skrillex, Calvin Harris, and Swedish House Mafia, this pair gave the field a convincing reason to spend some energy early.
The partnership made a ton of sense. Dom Dolla has made a career out of house records with super efficient hooks, while KETTAMA brings the rush of rave, trance, and tougher club music into the same conversation. Put those instincts together and restraint is unlikely to be the main event. Their shared set leaned into the size of the occasion, with the volume making the music feel immediate and the hype giving it a momentum that was hard to resist.
“DANGER DANGER” opened the run, with Michael Bibi and KETTAMA’s “MYSTERY OF RAW” following. “Rhyme Dust,” Dom’s collaboration with MK, was also an amazing inclusion here that had everyone moving.
KETTAMA’s remix of Calvin Harris’ “Blessings” added a neat connection to the newly reshuffled bill. Elsewhere, Prospa and KETTAMA’s “I Think of You” and “Pretty Green Eyes” gave the run a euphoric edge. The appeal of the pairing came through in that range: the bass-heavy swagger associated with Dom could sit beside KETTAMA’s taste for a rush without the evening losing its direction. The selections had different personalities but shared a clear desire to keep the pressure up.
Their scheduled time had been reduced to 75 minutes as Sunday made room for Harris. That compression could have made the set feel like a preliminary to the headliners. Instead, it gave the billing an urgency of its own. The loudness was a major part of the experience, but so was the sense of two DJs enjoying how much impact they could get from the same field. By the handover, the weekend’s disrupted timetable had become a distant concern for a while. Dom Dolla and KETTAMA had given Sunday its first thoroughly rowdy stretch, and earned their place in that formidable final run.
