After relaunching their live touring with a triumphant set at Coachella 2025, followed by a huge series of shows across the UK & Ireland – legendary electronic act Basement Jaxx are bringing their full live show to Australia for the first time in over 15 years.
Recognised globally for anthems such as ‘Where’s Your Head At’, ‘Good Luck’, ‘Red Alert’, ‘Romeo’ and many more, Basement Jaxx are known for their high-octane, breathtaking live performances. While many of their electronic contemporaries have looked to technology to make their gigs a compelling experience – Basement Jaxx have always embraced a maximalist approach, combining a dizzying and ever-growing array of singers, MCs, musicians and eventually whole troupes of dancers to turn any stage into a life-affirming cavorting carnival of music.
Don’t miss out on this epic return. Witness the full eye-popping, technicolour Basement Jaxx experience. More information here.
