Faithless have confirmed they are coming to Australia for the first time in five years, with a tour set for March 2026.
Untitled Group teased the announcement earlier in the week, with a video posted to social media set to Faithless’ breakout single “Insomnia”. The British electronica pioneers were last in Australia for their headline slot at Good Vibrations festival in 2011.
The tour will kick off at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Friday, March 12th, before shows at Melbourne’s PICA on March 14th and the Tivoli in Brisbane on March 18th.
Tickets will go on sale at 12pm (local) on Thursday, December 11th. A presale will run from 12pm (local) on Wednesday — sign up here.
Faithless are also heading to New Zealand for Mānuka Phuel Synthony Festival in March, where they’ll play with a full live band. They join a stellar lineup, alongside Shapeshifter, Kaylee Bell, Made You Look, Nice ‘n’ Urlich, Peking Duk, Hot Dub Time Machine, The Exponents, and more.
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 No. 1) and a Mercury Prize nomination to their name, they boast a career total of 20 million+ sales worldwide.

Faithless were one of the defining electronic acts of the ’90s and ’00s, blending club-ready production with a spiritual, often politically charged sensibility. Formed in London in 1995 by producer Rollo Armstrong, vocalist/poet Maxi Jazz and singer-songwriter Sister Bliss, the trio carved out a unique space in dance music with their fusion of trance, trip-hop and house.
“Insomnia” became an era-defining anthem, its slow-burn build and iconic spoken-word hook turning it into a global club staple.
Across albums like Reverence, Sunday 8PM and Outrospective, Faithless balanced massive festival-sized hits with introspective tracks exploring faith, struggle and the world’s political climate. They remained a dominant live force for decades, known for turning electronic music into something communal and cathartic.
Following Maxi Jazz’s passing in 2022, Faithless’ legacy endures as one of dance music’s most thoughtful and emotionally resonant acts.
