FISHER starts 2027 in Seattle

The house DJ returns to Seattle for the first time since his 2024 Gas Works Park set, headlining WAMU Theater on New Year's Day night.

Most of Seattle will spend Jan. 1 recovering. A few thousand people will spend it getting ready to go again. FISHER plays WAMU Theater on Friday, Jan. 1, 2027, with the show starting at 9 p.m. Tickets are $142.70 through Ticketmaster, where the listing runs as an Insomniac presentation. The date was announced Oct. 26.

It's his first Seattle show since July 28, 2024, when he played Gas Works Park. That was a summer afternoon-into-evening affair on the lawn with the skyline across the water. This one is the opposite: a New Year's Day night indoors, in a 5,000-capacity hall next to the stadiums, in the middle of a Northwest winter. Same DJ, very different energy.

A lot has happened for him in the two and a half years between. In the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll for 2025 he landed at No. 7 and was named the world's best house DJ that year, as Periódico de Ibiza reported. The same report covered his return to [UNVRS] in Ibiza for a second year of Thursday-night residency, running June 4 to Sept. 10, 2026, which puts him at the center of the island's summer, week after week.

He's also been a fixture on the big-event circuit this year. Capital Dance listed him at the top of the Silverworks Island events in 2026 alongside Tiësto and Anyma. And in the oddest line on the résumé, EDM.com has reported on his voice role in Disney and Pixar's *Toy Story 5*. Not many house DJs can say that.

A summer lawn in 2024, a winter hall on New Year's Day 2027: same DJ, very different night.

What to expect at WAMU is straightforward. FISHER's sets are built for big rooms and bigger crowds: driving, tech-leaning house with a sense of humor, plenty of edits of tracks people know, and a DJ who clearly likes being in the middle of the party rather than above it. WAMU Theater is a flat-floor hall, so the experience is about the crowd and the sound, not the sightlines. Get in early if you want to be near the front.

The date matters, too. Seattle's dance-music calendar has a familiar shape around the holidays, with the big New Year's Eve parties taking most of the attention. Putting a headliner of this size on the night after gives the city a second shot: for the people who worked on the 31st, who spent it with family, or who just want one more night before January gets serious.

A few practical notes. At $142.70, this is a premium ticket, so decide early rather than gamble on resale. Plan your ride home before you go; transit and rideshare after a stadium-district show on a holiday night can be slow. And dress for the walk, not just the dance floor. It will be January.

Seattle waited more than two years for this one. It's a good way to make sure 2027 starts on the right beat.
