As if things couldn't get much better than we are excited to announce a simply massive support lineup withArt vs Science, Zane LoweandJames Holroyd all joining the Chemical Brothers as their special guests.
Sydney’s three-piece band Art vs Science gained international recognition with their single Parlez Vous Francais? and their star has continued to rise ever since. The band’s remarkable trajectory has seen them come in at no. 2 on triple j’s Hottest 100, pick up three ARIA Award nominations for this year’s MAGIC FOUNTAIN EP (Best Dance, Best Video, Best Independent Release) and be the first signing for the Australasia region for prestigious publishing company Kobalt Music.
New Zealand born DJ, TV presenter and musician Zane Lowe now based in London, presents BBC Radio 1’s evening show. Zane a.k.a. ‘Zipper’ is tirelessly dedicated to discovering and exposing new music; bands such as Artic Monkeys, Block Party, Editors, Kasabian and Kaiser Chiefs have all benefited from Lowe’s support and endorsement.
Lowe is also notable for his rowdy and energetic live DJ sets, having previously opened for Muse, Foo Fighters and The Killers. As special guest of The Chems expect the unexpected from Lowe on this homecoming performance.
DJ James Holroyd started plying his trade back in 1991 in the heady days of the original Back to Basics at Leeds' Music Factory. He was introduced to the decks playing a mixture of funk, house, disco and hip-hop, and by 1992 his unique style and cheeky personality had secured him a job as resident.
Connections made in Manchester had also lead to Boggy hooking up with the Chemical Brothers. Tom and Ed were so impressed with Holroyd's DJ style that they invited him to tour with them in England from 1995 and then America from 1997. After touring South America with the Chemical Brothers on their Surrender Tour in 1999, they personally requested James as their support artist for their Australian and New Zealand Tour next year.
