The dance duo are set to play the venue in the capital on February 12 2025. Tickets will go on sale at 10am BST this Friday and can be purchased here.
A pre-sale will also be held on Thursday (October 3) which you can sign up for here.
The band are currently in the middle of a US tour, which will continue on Wednesday (October 2) at the Mission Ballroom in Denver before wrapping up on October 23 at the Radius in Chicago. Any remaining tickets can be purchased here.
Speaking about their live performances to NME in the summer, Xavier de Rosnay said: “In a way, the live show is almost like the opposite of the album, in the sense that we want the live show to be digestible in one go. Everything is meant to be a bit simpler and more straightforward when we play live, but ideally, we want our albums to give you new surprises with every listening session.
“We don’t want all of it to be fully legible the first time around with the album, but at the shows we don’t really care if you even know our music; we just want it to be catchy and fun.”
In a four-star review of Justice’s show at Glastonbury 2024, NME praised the “utterly bedazzling” light show and said “their stagecraft speaks loud and clear for itself”.
It added: “Of course, they bow out with the immortal ‘D.A.N.C.E’, the only track that could do – ahem – justice to a show like this. Bubbles float across the audience, the lights onstage stutter as if resisting the end of the night and a couple stood near NME savour the moment with a snog. Here was that fabled ‘Glasto moment’.”
Elsewhere, Justice and Tame Impala recently shared the official video for ‘Neverender’, and announced a new EP featuring remixes of the collaborative song by Kaytranada and Rampa.
“When we work with other musicians – and this was the case with Thundercat, Kevin [Parker], RIMON, Miguel and The Flints – the first thing is that we have to love their music,” de Rosnay previously told NME. “Their voice too because we ask them to sing on the record. Most of them are also producers and instrumentalists, but it’s the voice that we’re really looking for.
“We know that when we listen to Tame Impala or Thundercat, everything [of theirs] sounds a bit different – but we can hear that we have the same goal in music.”
He previously told NME that Justice had been listening to Parker’s material “from almost the beginning”. However, de Rosnay revealed that they once turned down the opportunity to remix a big Tame Impala tune.
