The exciting show dates back to 2011, when Basement Jaxx teamed up with The Metropole Orkest for a live album, and their Australian dates will showcase a “new and updated version” of the project.

The show will offer up re-interpretations of the group’s classics, while also introducing “specially commissioned new work and a few surprises along the way”, with Vula and Sharlene Hector confirmed on vocal duties.

The tour kicks off next April in Melbourne, before moving on to Sydney and Brisbane Brisbane.
