Faithless announce 21-date UK/EU tour, Champion Sound

Faithless have announced a huge UK/EU tour later this year.

Taking the same name as their upcoming eighth album, the ‘Champion Sound’ tour will see the English electronic act return to the likes of Manchester, Newcastle and more for the first time in nearly a decade. Faithless will joined by a full band as they embark on the 21-date run, kicking off in Edinburgh on 1st November and running until 14th December in Copenhagen. Check out the full list of Winter tour dates below.

“Faithless Family. We’re so excited to announce our full European tour later this year,” the band shared on Instagram this morning. “We can’t wait to dance with as many of you as possible.”

Faithless returned to the live stage for the first time in eight years earlier this summer, embarking on a limited four-date run culminating with a homecoming show at London’s Roundhouse. During these shows, the electronic pioneers debuted their new live set-up, featuring a full live band and moving tribute to bandmate and vocalist Maxi Jazz who passed away in December 2022. The group also performed a string of huge headline festival sets, including at Glastonbury, Wilderness and Camp Bestival.

Founding member Sister Bliss spoke about the challenges of returning to the stage in an interview with DJ Mag earlier this year. “Obviously [Maxi] won’t be there with us, but he’ll be there in spirit, and so the whole thing is a very new and different thing for us. I really hope people are going to get stuck in and dance, and really lose themselves in the music, because that’s what people have always done at a Faithless gig.”

The upcoming ‘Champion Sound’ tour will mark Faithless’ biggest run of dates in almost a decade, with stops in Belfast, Manchester, Antwerp, Zurich, Milan, Vienna, Amsterdam and many more.

Earlier this summer, Faithless shared a new single called ‘Find A Way’, featuring Suli Breaks, taken from their forthcoming eighth record.
