The Wool Store, an iconic venue steeped in history, reopened its doors after years of dormancy, marking its highly anticipated return with a monumental event. Electronic music heavyweights Dom Dolla and Solomun headlined the grand reopening, delivering an unforgettable four-hour back-to-back set that electrified the crowd.
Announced less than a week in advance, the last-minute event drew a massive crowd, filling the enormous venue to capacity. Perfectly timed between Dom Dolla and Solomun’s individual Australian tours, the collaboration felt serendipitous.
Located in Footscray, just a 20-minute drive from Melbourne’s CBD, The Wool Store’s industrial warehouse setting provided the ideal backdrop for the B2B. For many attendees experiencing the venue for the first time, its raw, expansive aesthetic was a standout feature.
Dom Dolla stepped away from his signature dancefloor hits to adopt a more underground approach, especially when paired with Solomun’s melodic and deep house style. The duo traded unreleased tracks and special edits, crafting an unforgettable set that left fans hoping it had been recorded.
The reopening of The Wool Store not only marks a new chapter for the venue but also sets a high benchmark for future events. With Dom Dolla and Solomun leading the charge for its return, the venue has firmly reestablished itself as a must-visit destination for music lovers.
