Comprised of Saul Milton and Will Kennard, the duo have spent more than two decades at the forefront of British electronic music, building a reputation for their fusion of drum and bass, jungle, rave and UK rap.
Their catalogue has amassed more than 2.5 billion streams worldwide, while recent years have seen them reach new commercial heights. Their Stormzy collaboration “BACKBONE” earned them their first UK No. 1 single, while “Baddadan” spent more than 15 weeks in the UK Top 10 and achieved Platinum certification.

The pair also took home British Producer of the Year at the BRIT Awards, further cementing their status as two of the UK’s most influential electronic music acts.
Their Australian and New Zealand return follows the release of Generic Everything on October 9th. Across ten tracks, the record sees Chase & Status continue to push the boundaries of their sound, bringing together collaborators including J Hus, Skrillex, Giggs, D Double E, Blanco and Little Simz.
The album also features “Carnage” with Little Simz and “Tension” with Saam Sultan, combining hard-hitting verses with the duo’s signature drum and bass production.
The upcoming tour follows a huge run of international performances, including headline appearances at Reading & Leeds Festival, the Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone and Milton Keynes National Bowl. They also joined Skrillex for a surprise back-to-back set at Boomtown Festival.
Last year, Chase & Status sold out an entire UK arena tour, becoming the fastest-selling electronic act in the history of London’s O2 Arena.
