London’s most lovable party band is back to spark joy.Few acts have stayed at the top of their game like indie-dance magicians Hot Chip. Across more than two decades and a deep discography, the London quintet have perfected a dancefloor-ready sound that is by turns melancholy, soul-stirring and all-out euphoric.
Beloved by Australian audiences, their return for Sydney Festival – playing two nights in the iconic Concert Hall – arrives at a crowning moment. In 2025, the band unveiled Joy In Repetition, a greatest-hits collection celebrating their 25 years of music making with depth and durability. Their roof-raising catalogue, alongside a new single, “Devotion”, that wraps listeners in a warm hug.
Steeped in classic house and shimmering synth-pop, and illuminated by frontman Alexis Taylor’s unmistakable voice, Hot Chip remains one of modern music’s most life-affirming live acts. Come ready to dance, laugh and lose yourself in the music.
“[Hot Chip’s] best-of collection highlights the group’s deadpan humour, winning tenderness, and remarkable consistency.”
PITCHFORK
“One of the most consistently entertaining electro-pop outfits of their generation.”
NME
“They can make everyone dance on a school night; harder and more bruised than their mild-mannered reputation suggests.”
THE GUARDIAN
“Everyone danced because it seemed silly to even contemplate not doing so… we really were having the best time. In the Concert Hall.”
