Underworld are a true one-off - at home headlining the world’s biggest festivals and events, playing underground techno clubs and warehouses, sound-tracking theatre productions or taking over art galleries, disused shoe shops and Japanese department stores.
Having cemented their place in the ’90s underground techno scene, the group’s definitive breakthrough came in 1996 when their timeless anthem ‘Born Slippy (Nuxx)’. The following two decades saw them build on that success while never compromising; selling millions of albums, scoring films, performing countless sold-out shows, exhibiting in galleries, and sound-tracking the Opening Ceremony to the London 2012 Olympic Games. The release of their critically Grammy nominated 2016 album ‘Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future’ saw them headline stages at Coachella, Glastonbury and Summer Sonic.
In October 2018 they launched their DRIFT project – a year-long project that sees the band release new work on consecutive Thursdays.
