Basement Jaxx have announced a return to their incredible live shows with dates in the UK & Ireland for 2025.
After a decade of DJing across the globe, the electronic duo - comprised of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe - have confirmed their plans to bring back their "euphoric live experience to main stages across the UK next summer".
After previously announcing a homecoming headline show at South Facing Festival 2025, the Romeo duo are set for second date at Crystal Palace Park, now playing 22nd and 23rd August respectively.
Tickets for the new date go on sale via southfacingfestival.com on Friday 7th March from 10am.
“After a few years DJing round the globe, it’ll be great to return to the live stage and the Live Show Experience,” said Felix Buxton in a previous press release. “To connect to people with life-affirming energy and give people a great time.”
The pair have also teased that a new album is on its way, which will mark their first studio release since 2014's Junto.
They added: “It’s great our hits are still very much alive with younger generations so we connect across the age range – and it’ll be great to pop in a couple of bangers from our forthcoming album too.”
Their 2025 dates also include headline sets at Latitude Festival, Wilderness Festival and a stint at Dreamland Margate plus date at Manchester's Castlefield Bowl.
