John Summit launches new era with ‘Lights Go Out’

John Summit released his brand-new single ‘Lights Go Out’, marking the first official chapter of his next musical era.

After weeks of anticipation, the track already sparked explosive reactions during his recent live sets.

From the opening line, “where do we go when the lights go out,” the track wastes no time setting its tone. Instead, it pulls listeners straight into a high-speed blend of pounding low-end, sharp synth work, and fast-paced rhythmic pressure. Moreover, the production leans into heavier territory than Summit’s recent output, pairing house foundations with trap and bass-driven elements designed for peak-time moments and late-night warehouse settings.

Speaking on the release, Summit explained: “For my first single of the year I knew I had to come out swinging with ‘Lights Go Out.’ Led by an anthemic vocal that hasn’t gotten out of my head since the first studio session, this one has been crushing my sets.” That energy has already translated online, with teaser clips from recent performances going viral and fueling excitement for his upcoming album, expected later this year.

The release also lands during a major touring stretch for Summit. In the coming months, he will make his Ibiza residency debut, headline UK summer shows, close Ultra Music Festival’s mainstage during Miami Music Week, and appear at festivals including Tomorrowland, EDC Mexico, and Ultra South Africa. Additionally, he will return to New York City for the highly anticipated comeback of the Experts Only Festival, following its sold-out debut in 2025.
