About BASEMENT JAXX

Basement Jaxx — the pioneering electronic duo of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe — have been at the forefront of dance music since emerging from London’s underground club scene in the mid-1990s. From their roots running raucous basement parties in Brixton, they quickly evolved into one of the most inventive and influential forces in house music, blending Latin rhythms, funk, garage, and soul into their own unmistakable sound.

Their catalogue includes the legendary singles “Red Alert,” “Rendez-Vu,” “Jump n’ Shout,” “Do Your Thing,” “Bingo Bango,” “Romeo,” “Where’s Your Head At,” and “Good Luck,” alongside a run of critically acclaimed albums. Their ground-breaking debut Remedy (1999) sold over a million copies and redefined electronic crossover music, while the double-platinum UK No.1 collection The Singles cemented their legacy. Across their career, they’ve earned two BRIT Awards, a GRAMMY, and global acclaim for their fearless approach to dance music and boundary-pushing production.

Equally renowned for their live shows, Basement Jaxx have taken their carnival-like performances to some of the world’s greatest stages — from The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to headlining both the Pyramid Stage and The Other Stage at Glastonbury Festival. Their eclectic DJ sets have kept the party alive worldwide, with highlights in 2023 including a headline slot at Detroit’s Movement Festival, their long-running residency at Glitterbox Ibiza, and an unforgettable New Year’s Eve in Melbourne.

Looking ahead, 2025 marked the return of the full Basement Jaxx live experience. The duo launched this new chapter with a triumphant set at Coachella 2025, before embarking on a series of massive outdoor shows across the UK and Ireland — a reminder that Basement Jaxx remain as vital, joyous, and electrifying as ever, three decades into their career.

SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE PRESENTS

BASEMENT JAXX
Joining the Opera House’s
unmissable summer music line-up
Forecourt – 5 March 2026

Grammy Award-winning UK electronic duo Basement Jaxx will return to the Sydney Opera House on Thursday 5 March, performing their first full-scale live show in Australia in more than 15 years – a euphoric, high-energy open-air celebration on the Forecourt to mark 30 years of dance floor anthems.

After relaunching their live touring with a triumphant set at Coachella 2025, followed by a string of shows across the UK & Ireland, the electronic pioneers, made up of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe, will bring their legendary live spectacle down under. Fusing house, garage, funk, ragga, Latin, disco and pop, the duo are celebrated for their high-octane live performances and eclectic, genre-bending sound across classic party-starting hits like Red Alert, Where’s Your Head At, Romeo and more.

Basement Jaxx have always embraced a maximalist approach, combining a dizzying and ever-growing array of singers, musicians and dancers to turn any stage into a life-affirming cavorting carnival of music. As one of the most influential dance music acts of the 21st century, Basement Jaxx have collaborated with the likes of Kylie Minogue, Missy Elliott and Justin Timberlake, as well as a recent orchestral project with The Metropolitan Orchestra.

Sydney Opera House Head of Contemporary Music, Ben Marshall says: “We’re beyond thrilled that dance royalty Basement Jaxx will be setting the Forecourt alight with their exhilarating, full-scale, live show experience. From underground roots to chart-topping success on the legendary XL Records, their impact on modern music is impossible to overstate. The pulsing spirit and playful chaos of Basement Jaxx live in front of the Opera House sails promises to be a cathartic extravaganza and a glorious addition to our summer music program.”
