White sands, turquoise waters, and electrifying beats, this April, one of Australia’s most celebrated electronic acts, The Presets, will headline an extraordinary musical experience in the Maldives. Hosted at the scenic Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives, the event promises a one-of-a-kind getaway where music meets tropical luxury, curated by the renowned travel and entertainment brand Music in Paradise.
Taking place from April 11 to 18, 2026, this week-long island escape will feature three exclusive live performances by The Presets, Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes, famous for their dynamic stage presence and genre-defining hits. Fans will be treated to an intimate concert series including a sunset DJ set on the beach, a high-energy headline performance, and an exclusive rooftop party at the resort’s Sunset Bar, creating an immersive festival experience with the Indian Ocean as a backdrop.
“We’re beyond excited to host The Presets at Kandooma,” said Mark Eletr, General Manager of Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives. “Their energy, talent, and incredible live shows are a perfect match for our vibrant island setting. Guests can expect something truly unforgettable.”
A New Stage for a Legendary Act
Over a career that spans more than 20 years, The Presets have earned a stellar reputation in the global music scene, performing at major festivals such as Coachella and Splendour in the Grass. Their breakout album Apocalypso (2008) went triple platinum in Australia and featured the anthem “My People”, which quickly became a cultural mainstay at music festivals worldwide.
The duo has been honored with multiple ARIA Awards, APRA Songwriter of the Year accolades, and has released critically acclaimed collaborations like the RAKA EP with Golden Features. Their most recent full-length album, HI VIZ (2018), topped the iTunes charts within hours of release and featured hits such as “Do What You Want” and “Martini.”
Now, The Presets are swapping massive stadium crowds for a more personal and luxurious setting, bringing their electrifying performances to a secluded island resort known for its stunning beauty, laid-back luxury, and warm hospitality.
