The Romeo duo will also play a homecoming show at south London's South Facing Festival 2025, which takes place at Crystal Palace Park.

“After a few years DJing round the globe, it’ll be great to return to the live stage and the Live Show Experience,” said Felix Buxton in a press release. “To connect to people with life-affirming energy and give people a great time.”

The pair have also teased that a new album is on its way, which will mark their first studio release since 2014's Junto.

They added: “It’s great our hits are still very much alive with younger generations so we connect across the age range – and it’ll be great to pop in a couple of bangers from our forthcoming album too.”
