Their new album ‘Surrender’ not only marks a huge milestone for Tyrone, Jon and James as a record that can effortlessly thrive on a dark and brooding dance floor – but also flourishes impressively in the stadium-sized shows it’s taken them to. Riding high following a sold out three-night run at Banc of California Stadium, previous shows at Melbourne Sidney Myer Bowl and with legendary sets at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza under their belts – this huge summer London show promises to be something special.

Between festival anthems and mellowed electro-pop, the duo have firmly cemented their return in the studio and on stage.
