After ten years away from the main stages of the world, Basement Jaxx are bringing back their legendary euphoric, energy-filled live shows. While many of their electronic contemporaries have looked to technology to make their gigs a compelling experience, Basement Jaxx have always embraced a maximalist approach that combines a dizzying and ever-growing array of singers, MCs, musicians, and eventually whole troupes of dancers to turn any stage into a life-affirming, cavorting carnival of music.
Basement Jaxx are the ultimate festival act. Their performances are a whirlwind of energy, packed with euphoric pop anthems, dazzling visuals, and a vibrant cast of musicians, singers, and dancers. Anyone who has witnessed their blistering performance of ‘Where’s Your Head At?’ during a headline set at Glastonbury will know exactly what I mean.
