Underworld have announced a series of ‘(nuxx) thirty’ anniversary gigs in London for 2026. Find ticket details below.
The British electronic duo – comprised of Rick Smith and Karl Hyde – will play three nights at London’s O2 Academy Brixton next year, to mark 30 years since the release of their seminal hit ‘Born Slippy (Nuxx)’.
Originally released in 1995 as a little-known B-side, the track was reportedly discovered by Danny Boyle when he was browsing in HMV one night, and later included in the soundtrack for his1996 film Trainspotting. It went on to reach number two on the UK singles chart and remains a cult-favourite dance track.
In celebration of the hit, Underworld will play at the London venue on February 5, 6 and 7. Tickets are now available here.
Underworld’s ‘(null) thirty’ live dates are:
FEBRUARY
5 – O2 Academy Brixton
6 – O2 Academy Brixton
7 – O2 Academy Brixton
The track has reached cult status since its release. In 2019, a fan who played the hit on repeat in Manchester was warned that he could face jail if the disturbance continued.
54-year-old Clyde Taylor ignored warnings from police to keep the noise down and blasted out the 1995 Trainspottingsong on a constant loop.
According toManchester Evening News, council officers removed speakers, stereo equipment, a TV, amps, and electric guitar from his home following complaints from neighbours. However, Taylor replaced the gear each time and continued to play music at high volume into the early hours.
It marked the first-ever criminal behaviour order against statutory noise nuisance in the Greater Manchester area.
