Hitting Brixton’s Academy for two nights in a row, their euphoric trance and house will create a dance floor experience unlike any other. Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamäki and Tony McGuinness will take to the stage with an accompanying visual experience that will tell the story of the tracks being played, with live video-messaging from the band adding to the sharing/ community vibe. They’ll be bringing with them previously unheard remixes of the album tracks, and the full- on Group Therapy production, too.
Above and Beyond began life in 2000. They’ve had their tracks played by Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten, and were voted No. 5 in DJ Magazine’s ‘top 100 DJs in the world’ poll last year. They’ve headlined enormo-domes such as LA’s 80,000-capacity Coliseum, wowed festivals and celebrated the 10th anniversary of their Trance Around The World radio show with an eight-hour broadcast from Beirut.
“We’ll be bringing home the Group Therapy show we’ve toured all round the world,” the trio say ahead of their homecoming gigs. “The UK audience is one of the world’s most knowledgeable and the extent they’ve taken us to their hearts has been overwhelming.” Congratulating themselves and patting the UK scene on the back in one fell swoop – it makes for momentous shows, for sure.
