Alison Wonderland has no shortage of tales to tell the grandkids. The Australian EDM star etched her name in the history books when, in 2018, she headlined Coachella, becoming the first female DJ to do so in what was her fourth performance in the California desert.
She’s prouder still of her seven-times headlining the “Temple of Wonderland” at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. And there’s been headline slots at Lollapalooza’s Perry’s Stage, and appearances at Tomorrowland, Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Life Is Beautiful. The Sydneysider has shifted more than 800,000 headline ticket sales across her U.S. tours alone. Global streams of her music top 1.1 billion.
On Thursday evening, June 25, perhaps a moment to stand among her finest; Wonderland has been invited to present the match ball for Australia’s final Group D round match with Paraguay in the FIFA World Cup Finals, which kicks off 10pm ET at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA.
“OH MY GDDD I just got asked by ADIDAS to BRING OUT THE MATCH BALL TO THE FIELD FOR THE AUSTRALIA VS PARAGUAY MATCH TOMORROW,” she writes on her socials. “I’ll wave to you all from the TV. WISH ME LUCK (have been in the studio all day so had to process haha ).”
An overjoyed Wonderland shared several snaps from the studio. In each shot, she’s wearing her Aussie green and gold Adidas track pants. One apparently captures the surreal moment she read the email with the once-in-a-lifetime request.
The Australian Socceroos will hope Wonderland (real name: Alexandra Sholler) is a good luck charm. To progress in the tournament, Australia must win or draw against the South American team. Losing isn’t an option.
The timing is perfect. Wonderland is currently on tour in the United States, the final date of which is set for this Saturday, June 27 at Foam Wonderland in Las Vegas, NV. Then, she takes her show on the road to for performances in the United Kingdom and Europe, getting underway July 10 with the Wonderland Warehouse Rave in London, all of it in support of her fourth studio album, Ghost World (via EMI).
Speaking with Billboard ahead of her latest tour, Wonderland remarked: “I’m a perfectionist. Someone said something a long time ago, you can tell everyone you put everything into this body of work but at the end of the day the only person who will know if you really went there will be you. It sits with me and haunts me anytime I make anything. I think it’s why I push myself so hard. I think about it all the time to this day.”
Collaborators on her latest album, which dropped in December 2025, include Nina Wilson, better known as EDM producer and artist Ninajirachi, plus DJ Dave and Erick The Architect. Wonderland produced the collection with Dylan Ragland, MEMBA and QUIX. Ghost World was mixed by Tom Norris and Tristan Hoogland and mastered by Dale Becker.
