British dance powerhouses your thing? Well then, you’re going to love this! Secret Sounds is pumped to announce that dancefloor igniting legends GROOVE ARMADA and electronic pop pioneers HOT CHIP will each be touring Australia throughout November 2022!

Since debuting in 1997, GROOVE ARMADA have proven to be one of the most influential forces in dance music. Consistently and uncompromisingly following their own vision, the superstylin’ duo have explored a multitude of sounds while achieving critical acclaim and commercial success. Since meeting at university in the 90s, Tom Findlay and Andy Cato have achieved three UK Top 10 albums, three Grammy nominations, a BRIT nomination and a succession of hit singles that are still being discovered by new fans to this day. Despite having formed a quarter-of-a-century before streaming exploded, GROOVE ARMADA are still commanding the attention of nearly two million monthly listeners on Spotify and have collaborated with or remixed countless high profile artists, including Madonna, Paul Simon, Fatboy Slim, Calvin Harris, Neneh Cherry and Bryan Ferry. GROOVE ARMADA welcomed a brand new and exciting chapter in 2020, releasing their eighth studio album Edge of the Horizon. Don’t miss their energised, life-affirming live show when they hit Sydney, Brisbane and Perth in November!

HOT CHIP are joining the November frivolities with shows in Brisbane and Sydney. The electronic luminaries will hit Australian shores hot off the release of their highly anticipated new album Freakout/Release which drops in August and features singles ‘Down’ and ‘Eleanor’. HOT CHIP’s sound has bridged gaps between the worlds of pop and dance music as their 18 year catalog features songs that move bodies and touch hearts with equal impact. Their multi-decade career has seen them continue to innovate and develop a rich, resonant songcraft. Their 2006 album The Warning was nominated for a Mercury prize, while their 2008 hit single ‘Ready for the Floor’ was nominated for a Grammy. Since then, their music has broadened and deepened, spawning the tender musings on commitment on 2010’s One Life Stand and the poly-genre mashups of 2015’s Why Make Sense? Get ready as HOT CHIP bring their irreplicable live energy down under in November!

So whaddya waiting for? Alert the group chat and plot the above dates in your diary. Tickets to both tours will go on sale to the general public from 9am local Thursday 21 July, with presale kicking off from 9am local Wednesday 20 July. Get to it!
