British electronica pioneers Faithless are bringing their unique blend of house, trip-hop and dub to Australia for the first time since 2011. Fans in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland can hear their favourite dance floor classics live in March 2026.
With a history stretching back 30 years, Faithless have long dominated the world of electronic music with tracks like ‘Insomnia‘, ‘God Is A DJ’ and ‘We Come 1‘. With seven Top 10 singles, six Top 5 albums (three at Number 1) and a Mercury Prize nomination to their name, Faithless boast a career total of 20 million+ sales worldwide. The group’s innovative fusion of club rhythms with sociopolitical lyrics put them at the forefront of dance music through the late 1990s and 2000s.
Both highly-skilled producers, Faithless was formed by Rollo Armstrong and DJ Sister Bliss in 1995. With a revolving cast of contributors, Faithless have been joined by rapper Maxi Jazz, singer/instrumentalist Jamie Catto and guitarist Dave Randall over the years, adding to the group’s unique alchemy of skills and styles that have formed Faithless’ inimitable sound.
Their 1996 debut album Reverence was shortly followed by nominations for ‘Best Dance Act’ (MTV Europe Awards) and ‘Best International Dance Act’ (ECHO Awards), also named R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe’s favourite album of the year. Faithless’ sophomore album Sunday 8PM cemented their commercial success, earning a Mercury Prize nomination in 1998. Subsequent albums continued to expand their sound and message, often addressing spirituality, consumerism, and global politics.
In 2020, Faithless returned with All Blessed, their first full studio album of new material in a decade. With Maxi Jazz sadly passing away in 2022, the group were ushered into a new era. Faithless unveiled their highly anticipated eighth album Champion Sound in September, praised by Clash Magazine as “a boundary-pushing leap” that “not only honours their legacy but also pushes their sound into bold new territory”.
With their Forever Faithless -The Greatest Hits album going four times Platinum, it’s safe to say Faithless’ sound remains as timeless and beloved as ever. Their dedication to originality and challenging the status quo has resulted in a lasting legacy defined by innovation and timeless anthems.
Last here for Good Vibrations festival in 2011, Faithless will be heading to Sydney’s Hordern Pavillion, PICA in Melbourne and The Tivoli in Brisbane with special guests to be announced. They will also take to the stage at Auckland’s Synthony Festival.
