Faithless join The Streets and Pete Tong in Heritage Live Festivals 2026 line-up at Audley End
Dance music icons Faithless, who this year celebrated their 30th anniversary, are to play Audley End next summer as part of Heritage Live Festivals 2026.
Formed in 1995 by core original members Rollo, Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz, they quickly became one of the most influential acts in electronic music, fusing dancefloor euphoria with lyrical depth.
Their 1996 debut album Reverence announced them to the world with the huge, genre-defining singles Insomnia and Salva Mea, and its follow-up, Sunday 8PM, was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and featured the anthemic hit God Is a DJ.
Voted the fourth greatest dance band of all time by Mixmag, their career has yielded ten Top 10 singles, six Top 5 albums (three of them No 1s) across the UK and Europe, and the four-time platinum-selling Forever Faithless – The Greatest Hits, helping them sell more than 20 million albums worldwide.
In 2018, their catalogue was uploaded to streaming sites, and they average almost three million listeners a month on Spotify.
Faithless have headlined numerous major festivals in Europe and beyond, including four editions of Glastonbury.
Now fronted by producers Sister Bliss and Rollo following the death in December 2022 of lead singer Maxi Jazz, they remain a vital live and festival favourite act, recently releasing their eighth studio album, Champion Sound, to critical acclaim.
Faithless will be playing Audley End on Sunday August 9. Tickets will be available on presale on Monday (Nov 3) at 9am. Customers must pre-register for presale access via https://arep.co/p/faithlessaudleyend. Any remaining tickets will then go on general sale on Tuesday (Nov 4) at 9am from HeritageLive.Seetickets.com.
They are the third act to be announced for the Heritage Live Festivals 2026 series in the grounds of historic stately home Audley End House, near Saffron Walden.
The Streets, who will be taking their landmark album, A Grand Don’t Come For Free, on the road for the first time, will be playing on the Friday (Aug 7) and global dance music icon Pete Tong will be bringing Balearic beats with his Ibiza Classics show on the Saturday (Aug 8).
