This summer, Bristol will host a landmark electronic music moment as Faithless take the stage for an open-air performance at Lloyds Amphitheatre on the picturesque Harbourside. The show, part of the Siren Bristol summer series, commemorates 30 years since the release of their debut album Reverence in April 1996, the record that introduced the world to the timeless anthem “Insomnia.”
Set for Friday, July 24, the performance kicks off a rare weekend of milestone celebrations, followed the next day by HOSPITAL30 ON THE HARBOUR on Saturday, July 25. Together, the events mark three decades of influence for two of the UK’s most impactful electronic music institutions.
Faithless’ Legacy
Formed in 1995, Faithless have shaped electronic music worldwide with 10 UK Top 10 singles, six Top 5 albums (three at Number One), global sales exceeding 20 million, and nearly one billion streams. From their 2015 re-imagined catalogue Faithless 2.0 with contributions from Avicii, Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, and Claptone, to 2020’s All Blessed, the band continues to innovate while maintaining emotional depth.
This Bristol performance carries particular significance following the passing of Maxi Jazz in 2022. Sister Bliss and Rollo return with a live show designed to celebrate the genre Faithless helped define while honoring Maxi’s enduring legacy. Collaborating with acclaimed show designer Jvan Morandi (Jean-Michel Jarre) and a close creative team, the performance promises a punky, funky, uplifting, and emotionally charged experience, reconnecting with the band’s roots.
Supporting Acts
Bristol-based group Kosheen, celebrating 25 years of their influential label Resist, will join the lineup, highlighting their lasting impact on the UK electronic and trip-hop scene. Milly On Air, a local DJ and producer, will make her Harbourside debut, adding fresh contemporary energy to the evening.
An Iconic Venue
Set against the scenic waterfront, the Lloyds Amphitheatre offers one of the UK’s most atmospheric open-air concert experiences. Surrounded by the city’s energy and the Harbourside backdrop, the venue is ideal for sunset moments and unforgettable live music experiences.
Siren Bristol 2026
The Faithless show builds on Siren Bristol’s reputation for landmark live events, joining the return of The Maccabees on Thursday, July 23, which is already over 80% sold out. Across two consecutive nights, Bristol becomes the focal point for 30-year milestones in electronic music, uniting generations of fans to celebrate legacy, innovation, and community.
Faithless’ return to Bristol promises a rare and powerful experience—a celebration of resilience, history, and the enduring influence of one of electronic music’s most iconic acts.
