Rüfüs Du Sol
Band Sydney Australia Formed 2010 Australian band, fka RÜFÜS
Rüfüs Du Sol formed in 2010 in Sydney, Australia. Rüfüs Du Sol has 25 chart appearances on 14 radio countdowns from 6 stations on RockLists, spanning 2001–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “On My Knees”, which appears on 5 lists with a best position of #9.

Rüfüs Du Sol are a Sydney trio, Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George and James Hunt, who started out in 2010 simply as Rüfüs. In January 2014 they added the Du Sol in the United States, to avoid being confused with the funk band Rufus, and in May 2018 they took the longer name everywhere just to keep things tidy.
The music is alternative dance built for the moment the sun comes up: slow-building synths, patient, rolling beats and aching vocals floating on top. The 2013 debut, Atlas, went to number one in Australia, and "You Were Right" won the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release in 2015. Bloom, in 2016, debuted at the top of the Australian albums chart and carried "Innerbloom", a slow-motion epic that takes its sweet time and earns every minute.
Solace, in 2018, brought "Underwater", "Treat You Better" and "No Place", darker and moodier, and Surrender arrived in 2021 with "On My Knees", "Next to Me" and "Alive", which won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording in 2022. The Surrender world tour took them to Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles, which they filled three times over. Inhale / Exhale followed in 2024 with "Music Is Better", "Break My Love" and "Lately".
