Rave kids, dig out your glow sticks and emotionally prepare your adrenal glands: it looks like legendary UK dance act Faithless are about to announce a fresh Australian tour.
How do we know? Because tastemaking party overlords Untitled Group just dropped a not-so-cryptic social teaser that has the entire dance music internet pointing at the same conclusion: Faithless. Australia. 2026.
“For the ravers: Insomnia is calling”
The clip, soundtracked unmistakably by the group’s iconic 1995 anthem ‘Insomnia’, comes alongside the message “For the ravers: Insomnia is calling” while listing Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane – revealing that a full announcement is landing Thursday 4 Dec at 4:30pm AEDT.
It’s not technically confirmation… but come on. When you use that song and that line? The writing’s pretty much on the warehouse wall.
If the rumours are true, this would mark the first Australian Faithless dates since the tragic passing of founding member and frontman Maxi Jazz in 2022. The group – now helmed by Sister Bliss and Rollo Armstrong – have continued to honour Maxi’s legacy through electrifying DJ sets and reimagined live shows built around their catalogue of era-defining rave classics.
And given Untitled Group’s track record of bringing huge international acts back into the Aussie fold, fans have every reason to be losing sleep – pun 100% intended.
We’ll bring you the full details as soon as the clock strikes 4:30pm AEDT on Thursday.
