Leftfield have announced their biggest UK Tour in over a decade. After a series of headline performances at some of this year's festivals including Rockness, Benicassim, and last weekend's Creamfields and LED Festival, Neil Barnes returns with a new live show this autumn.

Barnes will be joined by original vocalists Djum Djum, Earl 16 and Cheshire Cat for the tour, all of whom played key roles in Leftfield's classic albums 'Leftism' and 'Rhythm & Stealth'. Completing the live line up will be Adam Wren (keyboards), Jess Mills (vocals) and Sebastian Beresford on drums.

Neil Barnes commented, "The reception we received over the summer at the festivals was amazing. Now we can't wait to get out there again this autumn and bring the full Leftfield Live experience to the rest of the country. Let the bass roar."

Leading the dance music charge of the early '90s, Leftfield carved a path for a raft of great artists including Underworld, The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. Their pioneering debut album 'Leftism' often tops 'Best Dance Album' polls, whilst their live shows are the stuff of legend. Leftfield's live return is an opportunity for everyone to experience one of this country's most influential dance artists.

Neil Barnes added, "The opportunity to perform the songs to a whole new audience with the original sound system and vocalists is an opportunity that I simply couldn't turn down, The good will surrounding the live show has overwhelmed me, the expectation is tremendous. I simply can't wait to blow everybody away, Literally."
