Demand is expected to be high, with Faithless’ live shows consistently selling out across the UK and Europe.
A defining force in electronic music
Few acts have shaped the global electronic music landscape quite like Faithless. For more than 30 years, the UK group have existed at the crossroads of club culture, live performance and social commentary—creating music that resonates far beyond the dancefloor.
Last year marked 25 years since the release of Insomnia, a genre-defining anthem that remains one of the most recognisable electronic tracks of all time. Its cultural influence continues to ripple through modern music, recently reimagined by Disclosure in tribute to its lasting legacy.
This year also celebrates the 30th anniversary of Reverence, Faithless’ seminal debut album, which helped define a new era of UK dance music and laid the foundations for a career built on innovation, scale and emotional depth.
A powerful new era for Faithless
Faithless’ return to Belfast comes during an especially creative and active period. Their boundary-pushing eighth studio album, Champion Sound, was released last year and features the final recorded vocal performance of Maxi Jazz, alongside guest appearances from Antony Szmierek, Bebe Rexha, Emmanuel Jal, L.S.K and Suli Breaks.
Led live by founding members Rollo Armstrong and Sister Bliss, recent Faithless tours have received widespread acclaim, including sold-out shows at London’s Roundhouse and Brixton Academy, as well as a headline return to Glastonbury.
On stage, Faithless deliver a truly immersive experience—blending electronic mastery with live instrumentation, spoken word and cinematic-scale visuals. The spirit, voice and message of Maxi Jazz remain central to the band’s identity, continuing to connect their past, present and future.
A special night for Belfast
With an iconic catalogue that includes God Is A DJ, We Come 1, Insomnia and Champion Sound, Faithless’ influence on electronic music is unmatched. With multiple No.1 albums, over 20 million records sold and billions of streams worldwide, their cultural impact is undeniable—but it’s live where they truly shine.
Their Custom House Square Belfast show promises to be a standout moment in the city’s 2026 live music calendar—a celebration of legacy, evolution and the enduring power of the dancefloor.
