After an amazing 15 years that started with the single “Salva Mea”, Faithless - dance music pioneers Rollo, Maxi Jazz and Sister Bliss - will end their musical journey at London’s Brixton O2 Academy on 8 April 2011.
What will undoubtedly be a spectacular farewell will be the first dance music event to be beamed live via satellite to cinemas - allowing Faithless fans across Europe the chance to party for one last night with the band that defined an era.
The Brixton show will be filmed using the latest high-definition technology and broadcast live to cinemas where Faithless fans will be able enjoy the show in incredible 5:1 surround sound for an unforgettable experience that will show cinemas how to party.
With a slew of epic tracks including the top 10 singles “Insomnia” “God Is A DJ” and “We Come 1”, more than 15m album sales, and an acclaimed live show that has seen the band thrill audiences around the world, Faithless are one of those rare bands that can make Brixton Academy feel as intimate as one of the clubs where their inimitable sound was launched.
The final Faithless live performance, at the end of the Passing The Baton tour, will take place on Friday 8th April at their sold out gig at the legendary Brixton 02 Academy, London. Going one step further, and bowing out in true Faithless style, the gig will be broadcast live into cinemas across the UK, Ireland, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Estonia, and Latvia.
With a Triple Platinum Greatest Hits, 6 UK Gold Certified albums including “No Roots” that debuted in the UK at #1 and the most recent 2010 album “The Dance” that reached #2, 6 top 10 singles and a catalogue of remixes and collaborations that reads like a roll-call of dance royalty, the influence of Faithless on the current crop of dance artists is unmistakable.
Announcing the split, Maxi Jazz wrote online: "We've had, with our fans, the most unbelievable, epic and moving experience, stretching over years and tens of thousands of miles. Joyful, exhilarating and empowering, we never for a moment thought an affair could last this long."
