The synth-pop band behind “Over and Over” and “Ready for the Floor” close their tour for ninth album A Long Way From Kansas in White City.
Hot Chip, the synth-pop band behind “Over and Over” and “Ready for the Floor”, play Exhibition White City on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 March 2027. The two nights close their UK and European tour.
Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard met as students at Elliott School in Putney, and the band formed in London in 2000. Al Doyle, Owen Clarke and Felix Martin complete the line-up.
“Over and Over” came out in 2006, and the band were shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. “Ready for the Floor” reached number six on the UK singles chart in 2008 and was nominated for a Grammy Award.
The tour supports A Long Way From Kansas, their ninth album, released on 8 January 2027. Goddard and Doyle recorded it at their East London studio, Relax and Enjoy, with guest vocals from Beth Ditto and Eddie Chacon.
Its lead single, “Random Violence”, is a tribute to Keith McIvor, the late Glasgow DJ and promoter behind Optimo.
