Paris Hilton

Yeah, that Paris Hilton. But don’t let the tabloid-era headlines fool you — Hilton’s been a legit working DJ for over a decade now, and she’s not slowing down. She swapped the paparazzi circuit for club booths, and honestly, she’s earned her spot on festival lineups the hard way: by actually playing shows, year after year.

Hilton’s DJ career kicked off back in the early 2010s, and one of the biggest moments early on was landing a weekly residency at Amnesia in Ibiza, spinning the club’s famous foam parties on Wednesday nights. That residency put her in the room with the island’s biggest DJs and gave her a real foundation in house and dance music, not just a novelty booking. Time Magazine even followed her around the White Isle for a feature on what it’s actually like to club with her — turns out the crowds show up and the sets go off.

Since then she’s kept building. She’s played Tomorrowland’s Library stage, with her 2023 set getting an official release as a DJ mix, and she’s shown up at massive US festivals too — including a Stagecoach 2025 set that had Lizzo hopping on stage with her. In a Billboard interview about her return to music, Hilton put it plainly: she wants people to see her as “more talent than name,” and she’s been backing that up by actually staying in the booth.

On the production side, Hilton dropped her second studio album, Infinite Icon, in 2024 — a full dance-pop record that leans hard into the club sound she’s built her DJ sets around. The album’s rollout included “I’m Free,” a collaboration with Rina Sawayama that got writeups from Rolling Stone, Stereogum, and NME for its slick, confident production. Infinite Icon is also the name of the media and entertainment company she’s built out around the project, giving her a real business arm behind the music instead of just a one-off album cycle.

What makes Hilton’s run notable in the EDM world isn’t just the name recognition — it’s the consistency. Ibiza residencies, Tomorrowland sets, festival mainstage cameos, and a real studio album all point to someone who’s treated DJing as an actual career, not a photo op. Keep an eye on her socials and festival announcements — she’s still very much active in dance music and shows no signs of stepping away from the decks.
