Keli Holiday Releases Official Video for ‘Dancing2’
Keli Holiday has released the official music video for his latest single “Dancing2″.
Filmed in Melbourne, the video was directed by Ryan Sauer and produced by Kyra Agathos. Keli Holiday, the solo project of Adam Hyde (also of Peking Duk), says:
“The video is representative of all the movements we go through around each other before we truly see each other and open up the idea that we could be doing this dance together. Ryan Sauer and Kyra Agathos are the dream team – we shot six videos in four days and it surprisingly went too quick, which says a lot about how much fun we had.”
Sauer adds, “I’ve worked closely with Adam for over a decade on his other project, Peking Duk, and it’s always exciting when he calls with a new collaboration opportunity. This one had a hectic schedule and a heavy workload, but our shared passion and the dedication of the crew helped us deliver an incredible video. It’s always a pleasure working with such a creative mind.”
The release comes as “Dancing2” climbs the charts, entering Spotify’s Daily Top Songs, breaking into the Shazam Top 50, and reaching No. 1 on TikTok’s Viral chart.
“Seeing this song connect to people on such a joyful human level has me lost for words,” says Keli Holiday. “Every time I’m opening TikTok at the moment I’m seeing a new video set to ‘Dancing2’ that brings me tears of happiness.”
The track is the first preview of his forthcoming second album. Holiday, who won the 2025 Rolling Stone Australia Readers’ Choice Award following his 2022 debut album KELI and 2024’s JESTERMAN EP, says:

2024’s JESTERMAN EP. “This album feels like the first Keli Holiday offering that is true to who I am,” Hyde explains. “It explores themes of longing for more, finding love in a crowded room, and the union of sex. I have spent the majority of my days since the birth of Keli Holiday focusing on what I want to say, how I want to say it, and what I want it to sound like.”
Next month, Keli Holiday will perform his debut New Zealand shows in Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington, with more Australian dates to be announced soon.
