Melbourne, get ready to shake that ass in an unforgettable night of non-stop grooves under the stars! Legendary UK dance duo GROOVE ARMADA will bring their high-energy DJ set to the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne on Sunday 9 March 2025, as part of the acclaimed Live At The Gardens series.
Proudly presented by Roundhouse Entertainment, in conjunction with MG Live, this exclusive Victorian performance is set to be an epic celebration of GROOVE ARMADA's iconic beats and genre-defying sound. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens, this one-night-only event will feature an electrifying set filled with classic bangers and a journey through their legendary record collections.
GROOVE ARMADA, the legendary London duo of Tom Findlay and Andy Cato, emerged during the late '90s with their groundbreaking fusion of house, big beat, and funk influences and have solidified their status as one of the most influential and successful dance acts of all time. Known for global anthems and a legacy of chart-topping hits like I See You Baby, Song 4 Mutya (Out of Control) and the Grammy-nominated Superstylin', they've shaped the dance music scene for more than 25 years and continue to captivate new audiences. With nine studio albums, including five Top 40 albums in Australia, as well as three Grammy nominations and a Brit Award nomination, their sound remains timeless.
Renowned for their exhilarating live performances and innovative DJ sets, GROOVE ARMADA have graced stages worldwide, blending iconic bangers with cutting-edge sounds, delivering performances that elevate dance music to an art form. Their enduring appeal has seen them amass millions of monthly listeners on streaming platforms, while their recent career-spanning 2022 retrospective, GA25, celebrated a quarter-century of dancefloor classics.
"The immense love expressed from audience to band at Groove Armada's Brisbane concert showcased the deep affinity Aussies have for the British electronic, trip hop, house maestros. Judging from the ear-to-ear grins and saturated shirts of those in the crowd, Groove Armada can tour Australia anytime they wish and expect a loving audience to show up."
