Two undeniable and influential forces on the electronic music scene, Chase & Status and Luude, are gearing up to ignite stages across Australia and New Zealand in an exhilarating co-headline tour this April. Announced just last week, anticipation for the tour has soared to remarkable heights, evidenced by the sale of an extraordinary 25k tickets in the first 24 hours. The demand has led to sold-out shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Auckland, and Adelaide. The tour promises electrifying performances, featuring a stellar lineup of chart-topping hits and new releases, including Luude’s breakout singles ‘Down Under’ and ‘Big City Life’, and Chase & Status’ global anthem and bass heavy favourite ‘Baddadan’. Kicking off in Brisbane on 19th April and concluding at PICA in Melbourne on 28th April, where limited final release tickets are now on sale.

Expressing his gratitude and enthusiasm for the upcoming hometown tour after a transformative year internationally, Luude shares “honestly, it feels surreal how fast everything sold – to be able to do this on home soil with the Chase & Status lads who I’ve been a fan of forever is something I’d never even have imagined was possible… just mental stuff we’re all so stoked.”

LUUDE: Australia’s Drum and Bass Sensation

Australian producer Luude is riding high on a wave of global success, with back-to-back hits like ‘Down Under’ and ‘Big City Life’ amassing over 500 million streams worldwide. Recognised as one of the highest-selling artists in Drum and Bass over the last decade, Luude’s electrifying stage presence has solidified him as one of Australia’s most sought-after performers.

His impressive list of accolades includes an ARIA award for Best Dance Release, a nomination for the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist award, and the title of “Best International Artist” at the 2022 Drum and Bass Awards, whilst achieving an impressive array of Platinum, Gold, and Silver Certifications.

CHASE & STATUS: British Electronic Music Icons

Chase & Status, one of the most successful British bands of the last decade, are set to bring their unparalleled diversity and professionalism to the Australian stage. With a career spanning over 20 years, Will Kennard and Saul Milton have notched up seven best-selling albums including the iconic ‘No More Idols’ and ‘More Than Alot’, a string of chart-topping hits, and a reputation for delivering incendiary live shows.

In 2022, Chase & Status released their sixth studio album, ‘What Came Before,’ debuting at number four on the official album charts. The album, informed by years of global tours, sold-out headline shows, and numerous awards, showcases the duo’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance music.

This year saw Chase & Status dominate the scene with tracks like ‘Baddadan,’ featuring on their latest LP on ‘2 RUFF, Vol. 1.’ charting at #4 in the UK album chart. The record showcases their versatility, crossing genre boundaries, and was celebrated with accolades at the Drum & Bass Arena Awards, including Best Track, Best Producer, and Best Live Stream Set for their Boiler Room performance. 

Experiencing one of their most successful years to date, Chase & Status are riding high with a string of critically and commercially successful hits complemented by a series of electrifying live performances. Recently recognised by EDM.com, their 2023 Boiler Room set in London was acclaimed as one of the year’s best performances. This acknowledgment is a testament to their ability to traverse musical styles, a trait evident throughout their extensive discography, which has garnered over 2 billion streams. From their humble beginnings in the DnB underground to producing chart-topping hits for global superstars, Chase & Status’ unparalleled impact on the music industry continues to unfold.
