The Avalanches @ Roundhouse

The Avalanches play the Roundhouse on Friday 27 November, their first London date in a while. They're an electronic collective from Melbourne, Australia, and they've built their whole reputation on sampling. Their debut album, Since I Left You, was made entirely from a vast array of samples, and that's the sound they're still known for: thousands of snippets from all over the place, layered into euphoric, genre-defying compositions. It's a particular way of working that's hard to pin to one style, and that's exactly why they've stayed relevant.

Since that first record, they've kept pushing it further with Wildflower and We Will Always Love You, two more acclaimed albums that follow the same sampling logic. They've spent more than two decades reshaping electronic music, and that work has earned them a devoted global following and hundreds of millions of streams. It's a long run for a project that started with a single, sample-heavy debut.

On the night, it's just The Avalanches on the bill. They're Australian electronic pioneers, and they describe their sound as transforming thousands of samples into richly layered, euphoric compositions. That's the core of what they do, and it's what they'll be bringing to the stage.

The show is at the Roundhouse Main Space in Camden, London, on Friday 27 November, starting at 7pm. Tickets are £42.65, which includes a 15% fee and a £2.40 restoration levy per ticket.
