Basement Jaxx are heading down under with their euphoric full live show hitting stages in February and March 2026.

Basement Jaxx haven’t just been DJing their way around the world; this is the full carnival experience with singers, MCs, musicians and dancers turning every stage into a life-affirming party.

Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe have spent three decades refusing to play by electronic music’s rules. While other acts lean on technology and screens, Basement Jaxx embrace maximalism, packing their shows with live performers and creating something closer to a raucous street festival than a traditional gig. It’s the kind of energy that’s taken them to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury and The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Anyone who lived through the late 90s and early 2000s knows the hits; Where’s Your Head At, Good Luck, Red Alert, Romeo, but hearing them with the full live production is something else entirely. Debut album Remedy sold over a million copies and basically rewrote what electronic crossover music could be, blending Latin rhythms, funk, garage and soul into something that worked on dancefloors and festival stages alike.
Since emerging from Brixton basement parties in the mid-90s, the duo have racked up two BRIT Awards, a Grammy, and a double-platinum UK number one compilation.
But accolades aside, they’ve stayed locked into what matters most; making people lose their minds on dancefloors. Recent highlights include headlining Detroit’s Movement Festival and holding down their residency at Glitterbox Ibiza, proving they’re still as vital now as they were when Remedy dropped.
Golden Plains punters get the bonus of catching them at Meredith, while everyone else can grab tickets to the standalone shows when they drop this Friday.
After 16 years away from Australian stages, this is the kind of reunion tour that really lives up to the hype.
