Superstar-collaborators Chase and Status have come a long way since experimenting with drum & bass music at university to becoming Britain’s leading dance duo.
So much has their following grown that the pair have announced their first ever UK arena tour at Manchester Phones4u Arena on November 8 to the delight of millions of their adoring fans.
The dance duo revealed they will visit 11 venues across the UK starting on October 31 shortly after the release of their third studio album, Brand New Machine, the follow up to their 2011 album No More Idols.
The British Electronic production duo, composed of university pals Saul Milton and Will Kennard, have had huge hits in the UK with No Problem, Blind Faith and End Credits and have collaborated with superstars such as Rihanna, Plan B and Example.
Count On Me featuring Moko has been announced as their next single to be released on September 29.
Renowned guitarist Nile Rodgers, best known for collaborating with David Bowie and Madonna, has revealed he has been working with the drum and bass producers.
Rodgers tweeted he had been in the studio with the duo and posted a photo on Twitter.
Chase and Status played a headline set at Glastonbury Festival and will perform on the main stage at both Leeds and Reading 2013.
Tickets will go on sale at 9am August 30 and are available here.
