Gig: The Chemical Brothers

C4 presents: The Chemical Brothers It’s been three long years since the Chemical Brothers unmistakable brand of electronic insanity gripped the nation, and now they are coming back for one show only. Five albums, three Grammy Awards, countless hit singles and some nine million album sales later, the Chemical Brothers bring their explosive new live show to New Zealand. The sensory overload that is the Chemical Brothers live experience was launched at the world famous Glastonbury Festival earlier this year. The closing set left punters and media alike astounded at the sheer scale and epic spectacle of the Chemical’s mind blowing audio-visual assault. Following Glasto, the band have rocked Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, Montreax Jazz Festival, The Summercase Festivals in Spain and have appearances scheduled at Bestival, Electric Picnic Ireland, Creamfields UK, not one but three Brixton Academy’s and a huge show in London’s Trafalgar Square, amongst many others, before arriving into New Zealand in February 2008. “I just feel it’s a blessing to be able to do something which gets people out of their homes and experiencing something together,” says Ed. “When you play live and see a sea of people with their hands in their air, smiling, that’s what I feel most proud of: making music that is loud and powerful enough to bring people together.” Click here to enter the draw for tickets to this concert.
