Brisbane’s Confidence Man are keeping the party going in 2025.
Their global headline tour wrapped with two sold-out Brixton Academy shows, they won Best Live Act at the Rolling Stone UK Awards, took home Best Breakthrough Act at the BBC Radio 1 Dance Awards, landed on the BBC Sound Poll, and scored a 2025 BRIT Award nomination for Best International Group.
Next up: a new remix album. 5AM (LA LA LA) drops April 18th, featuring 15 reworks of tracks from their critically acclaimed UK Top 10 album 3AM (LA LA LA).
Pre-orders are live now, launching alongside a breakbeat-fuelled remix of “Far Out” by British electronic pioneers Orbital. “We had so much fun remixing ConMan – almost as much pleasure as we had hanging out with them – it’s genuinely one of our favourite remixes we’ve ever done,” said Orbital.
It follows last month’s “I HEART YOU”, a collab with BRIT-nominated DJ, songwriter, and producer Eliza Rose, which landed on the deluxe 4AM (LA LA LA) edition.
The remix album will also feature reworks from King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, American indie-electronic band Fcukers, and Swedish DJ/producer Adrian Lux.
Back home, the band racked up three ARIA Award nominations (Best Dance/Electronic Release and Best Video for “I CAN’T LOSE YOU”, plus Best Australian Live Act for their Laneway Festival set). Now, they’re up for Best Live Act and the Rolling Stone Global Award at next week’s Rolling Stone Australia Awards.
Sugar Bones and Janet Planet also kept the energy up in Rolling Stone AU/NZ’s Musicians on Musicians feature alongside Orbital.
Their album 3AM (LA LA LA) scored a four-star review from Rolling Stone AU/NZ, calling it their “clubbiest, most anthemic music yet.” The review highlighted “Breakbeat” as an “old-school delight,” “Sicko” as a Screamadelica-era Primal Scream throwback, and the title track as “a late-night rave classic in waiting.”
