Relive the three sold out performances at Vivid LIVE 2024
In the world of electronic dance music, Underworld need no introduction. Since their earliest days on the underground pop scene of the 1980s, Welsh duo Karl Hyde and Rick Smith have gone on to be one of techno’s defining acts, moving from pioneering electro-rock albums like 1988’s Underneath the Radar to their iconic ‘90s records dubnobasswithmyheadman, Second Toughest in the Infants and Beaucoup Fish, and their unforgettable party anthem “Born Slippy (NUXX)”. After scoring the 2012 London Olympics the duo have continued to release blistering albums that push the boundaries of techno, from 2016’s acclaimed, Grammy-nominated Barbara, Barbara, We See a Shining Future to their recent multimedia series DRIFT, which was accompanied by sold-out performances around the world.
Underworld returned in May 2024 for their third visit to Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid LIVE. Shot over three nights in the Concert Hall, and directed by Dave May and Pat Rohl of Tall Story Films, this new concert film captures one of the most talked-about shows of the season. Whether you witnessed the euphoria in person or missed out on tickets, relive the magic at this exclusive premiere screening.
