“We’ve been waiting so long to come down to Australia again – we’ve been planning this tour since early 2020 and we’ve always had amazing shows in Australia,” say Caribou. “But it’s been over 7 years since we’ve come down!”

“We’ve been dying to do Meredith in particular for ages – Kieran (Four Tet) has been telling me we have to do it for years. We’re so excited about the show we’ve got ready for you – it’s the same full production audiovisual feast that we’ve been melting minds with at European festivals. We’re so thrilled to finally get to play it for amazing Australian audience.”

It’s the world-renowned dance act’s first Australian visit since 2015, and follows a European summer of major festival appearances including Glastonbury, Pukkelpop, Lowlands and more. This tour will see the band performing in support of their 2020 album, Suddenly, which featured nu-soul classic “Home and house anthem “Never Come Back”. On their previous visit seven years ago, they were the first contemporary dance act to both perform and sell out the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House.
