Throw that immortal “Insomnia” drop at any 90s kid and you’ll know how cherished this track is to those who have found it all across the dancefloors of the world.
When UK electronica trio Faithless released that song in the mid-90s, they forever stamped their name on the history books of rave culture. The song’s addictive beat, Maxi Jazz’s warm vocal work, and that iconic refrain – as blissful as the sister behind the keys.
Ready to hear it again? Or maybe even for the first time? That and all of Faithless’ other monster jams, like “God is a DJ” and “We Come 1” are going to sound mighty fine when these pioneers headline concerts in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, showing Australia some love for the first time since they headline Good Vibrations in 2011.
While rapper Maxi Jazz sadly passed away in 2022, DJ Sister Bliss and Rollo Armstrong will be here, keen to show off the group’s first album since that untimely death, Champion Sound. The album, which features collaborations with the likes of Emmanuel Jal and Amelia Fox. Upon release, the album was praised for its versatility and bold exploration of sound.
Squeezing their newer experimental stuff in with their classics should make this one for the record books.
Faithless will be touring in March 2026 and final tickets have been released, so act fast. You never know when they’ll tour again.
