UK duo Maribou State bring their soul-infused electronic music back to Australia next February 2025 for a long-awaited series of live shows.

With a reputation for creating richly textured, atmospheric sounds, Maribou State emerged during an era when electronic music moved beyond dancefloor beats to evoke expansive, cinematic landscapes. Influenced by classic hip-hop, world music, soul, and downtempo house, their sound combines live musicianship with studio innovation.

Since debuting in 2011 with Portraits, Maribou State’s journey has included celebrated festival appearances at Glastonbury and sold-out shows across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Their 2018 album Kingdoms In Colour, a “sonic collage” drawing from global experiences and field recordings, further solidified their global presence.

Now, after a six-year hiatus, they return with Hallucinating Love, dropping on 31 January 2025. This new project features collaborators Holly Walker and Gaidaa, delivering a lush, mystical sound imbued with hope.

In 2025, Maribou State will bring their live show back to Australia and New Zealand. Possessing the unique skill of making their music feel alive, these dates give the rare opportunity for both new and old to experience a live act praised for its technicality and unique, intellectual sound on stage.
