One of the most daring artists in dance music today, London-based duo MARIBOU STATE will hop off the Splendour tour bus for two huge shows at Melbourne’s Forum and Sydney’s iconic Opera House. Beginning life as in-demand remixers (they got their first big break as 16 year-olds with a mix of indie band Hadouken!, going on to remix the likes of Fatboy Slim and Lana Del Ray), Chris Davids and Liam Ivory dedicate a tireless work ethic to the art of recording and touring. The result is two hugely popular records (2015’s Portraits and last year’s Kingdom’s In Colour) – both masterful studies in the dynamics of electronica coupled with the warmth of live instrumentation.
