It continues at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Sunday, 1 March, Adelaide’s Hindley Street Music Hall on Tuesday, 3 March, the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Thursday, 5 March, Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Saturday, 7 March, a performance at Golden Plains Festival on Sunday, 8 March, and concludes at Fremantle Prison on Wednesday, 11 March.

Reviewing the duo’s set at the NYE festival, Heaps Good, The Music’s Michael Prebeg wrote: “Basement Jaxx officially ring in the new year with their most popular hit, Where’s Your Head At, as the countdown begins. As the clock strikes midnight, an incredible fireworks and laser light display across the Melbourne city skyline can be seen from the top of the Sidney Myer Music Bowl lawn area.
