News: Faithless Confirm First Australian Tour in 15 Years

Faithless will return to Australia for the first time since 2011, bringing their influential mix of house, trip-hop and dub to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The UK electronic icons, whose work shaped dance and club culture across the late ’90s and 2000s, are set to revisit their catalogue alongside material from their new era.

Formed in 1995 by Rollo, Sister Bliss and the late Maxi Jazz, Faithless built a reputation for pairing club-driven production with socially conscious writing — a combination that made albums like Reverence, Sunday 8PM and Outrospective defining records of their time. Across three decades, they’ve sold millions of records, topped charts worldwide and remained one of the most recognisable names in British dance music. Their music continues to reach new audiences too, with close to three million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Following Maxi Jazz’s passing in 2022, the band’s catalogue found renewed resonance, with fans revisiting tracks that had become cultural touchpoints across generations. In 2024, Sister Bliss confirmed that Faithless would return to the live stage after an eight-year break, leading to festival appearances and the announcement of Champion Sound, their eighth studio album. The years that followed brought a run of new singles — “Find a Way,” “I’m Not Alone (Rest Well Maxwell),” and “Dollars and Dimes” — each signalling a band still refining and expanding their sound.

Their Australian return marks another step in that chapter. For longtime fans, it’s a rare chance to hear a catalogue that helped define UK dance music; for new audiences, it’s an opportunity to see a group whose influence can still be traced across club culture today.
