Lo Fidelity Allstars return in 2026.
“One of dance music’s Galacticos” (Mixmag) and co-resident at Skint’s Boutique alongside Fatboy Slim, Lo Fidelity Allstars helped to define an era in British dance music.

From sweaty nights in UK clubs to full-on American mega stadium tours and global charts hits such as ‘Battleflag’ and ‘Lo Fi’s In
Ibiza’, Lo Fidelity Allstars have been the soundtrack for generations who find the idea of mixed up genres and rocked up beats the norm rather than the exception.

Their career spans winning the ‘Most Promising New Band NME Brat Award’ to becoming dance press crossover pioneering heroes, a debut album that sold half a million copies in the USA alone, smashing the record for ‘biggest import album’ previously held by The Clash and a “Best Of” compilation which saw them acclaimed “influential genre-mashing electronic mentalists” by NME review.

“The Lo Fidelity Allstars invented what James Murphy used as a template for a whole career for LCD Soundsystem” DJ Mag
Lo-Fidelity Allstars’ onstage reputation has always set them apart. As a live band they’ve been on a journey that has seen them headline shows all around the world.
2026 also sees the release of a new singles compilation album, with many tracks that have never had a physical release before. Lo Fidelity Allstars have always pushed boundaries – you’ll hear the hits, but this will be far more than an exercise in nostalgia!

Quatermass III
“The occult sound of Eno, Joy Division, Northern Soul/Glam beats, Robert Calvert vox and Open University synths” – MOJO magazine.

Born from the people who brought you World of Twist, Earl Brutus and The Dials, in association with the British Experimental Rocket Group and Science Monthly, Quatermass III’s latest single Glass Delusion was released late last year and is a glam-stomping, glitter-helmeted, gloriously fragile illusion of a psychological ailment from the Middle Ages. This single delivers a history lesson whilst demanding that you gyrate to the rhythm of the groovy spaced-out beats. More out there than the Earth atmosphere allows.

“Feels like the Dandy Warhols have become possessed by the Spirit in the Sky. Involuntary head-nodding truckalong spacemusick with a sexy glam groove for stoner dancing.” – Crayola Lectern

“Sounds like Roxy Music bingeing on a sci-fi box set.” – Prog Magazine
