The band last played in the UK at the prodigious Milton Keynes Bowl, in the summer of 2025. The venue has solidified its status as a major UK venue and has hosted acts in the likes of, Queen, David Bowie, Michael jackson and Oasis. Pendulum took the stage headlining Tribes Unite Festival on August 9. The festival was a mammoth success featuring a stellar variety of other acts. This included DJ Luck and MC Neat and East 17.

This July 2026 the beloved waterside venue is set to host one of the largest single day events of the year with Pendulum as the show stopping headliners. Joining the Aussies on stage this summer are some notoriously incredible DJs!

We are set to see performances from Andy C, Mozey, K Motionz, SOTA, Andromedik and many more. This show is not one to miss for anyone who enjoys a sunset party.

Not only did Pendulum grace fans with incredible live shows in 2025, they also shared their first official album release in fifteen years with the world. The band’s long-awaited return was in the form of their fourth studio album, ‘Inertia’. The album is an experimental, melodic journey and reminds us exactly why countless individuals fell in love with Pendulum initially.

The record itself is not only Pendulums explosive return but also holds host to an impressive array of features. This includes Bullet for my Valentine and WARGASM.

Pendulum undoubtedly rose to popularity due to their distinctive sound. The group are notable due to their unorthodox musical methods, often consisting of mixing electronic music with hard rock. Over their active years this has lured in a wide array of fans and has resulted in the band creating a dedicated fanbase.

Unfortunately for the music world, Pendulum announced a hiatus on January 3. 2012, as the band dismantled to focus on side projects and take on solo endeavours. They rekindled on the 22 August 2015 and performed on stage for the first time as a group under the Pendulum persona in four years. Later that year in December the band officially announced their live reunion for the 2016 Ultra Music Festival in Miami. From there on the band got right back into the swing of things and fell back in love with performing as a whole.

A live act that is certainly not one to miss, Pendulum live shows are notorious worldwide as electronic, fun fueled adventures. With such an incredible lineup of supporting DJs the Silverworks show is bound to be one for the books

Pendulum began in Perth, Australia, as a trio of DJs before forming a full band in 2002. They built a strong following with their distinctive fusion of electronic music, hard rock, and metal. Their 2005 debut ‘Hold Your Colour’ was rooted primarily in drum and bass, while follow-up albums ‘In Silico’ (2008) and ‘Immersion’  (2010) incorporated elements of industrial and electronic rock. The group went on a hiatus in 2012 as members pursued side projects, before reforming in 2018. ‘Inertia’, due for release this August, is their first album since reuniting.

The Australian electronic rock band returned earlier this year following a decade-long hiatus, with ‘Inertia’ described as their most personal work to date. It follows 2010’s ‘Immersion’ and includes collaborations with Bullet For My Valentine, AWOLNATION, Scarlxrd, Joey Valance, Brae, and Hybrid Minds. Frontman Rob Swire produced the record, which has already been previewed by the singles ‘Save The Cat’ and ‘Cannibal’.

Speaking about the project, producer and frontman Rob Swire said: “It’s the sound of Pendulum finding themselves again, and me figuring myself out to a certain extent. Breakups do that – they strip things down and show you who you are. I’m just trying not to become the guy who needs to go through one just to make a record.”

Pendulum recently played a secret show at Reading and Leeds festival, having left clues for festival goers in the days leading up to it, posting flyers with their logo and a phone number printed on them. When the number was dialled, the following message was heard: “Ladies and gentlemen, we understand that you have come tonight to bear witness to the sound of drum and bass. We regret to announce that this is not the case. As instead we come tonight to bring you the sonic recreation of the end of the world. Reading Festival prepare to hold your colour.” After A.M.C ft Phantom’s set on the BBC Radio Dance stage Pendulum’s logo appeared on a video screen along with a countdown and the band emerged to play their first UK show as a full band since 2018.

Toward the end of the set, Enter Shikari’s Rou Reynolds joined them for a performance of his band’s 2007 breakout single, “Sorry You’re Not A Winner.” Reynolds told NME how the project came about telling the magazine, “Gareth [McGrillen] and Rob [Swire] just got in touch and basically said that they’re thinking about doing a remix of ‘Sorry You’re Not A Winner’, and I was like ‘okay sick!’, what a surreal message to get.” Reynolds continued, “They sent it over, and there’s a lot of different demo changes in that track so I was like ‘this is so interesting, what are they going to do with it?’ And it’s so good. It’s killer.”

Asked about rehearsing the tune with Pendulum, Reynolds added, “Because sub-bass works better at certain frequencies they’ve had to raise the key of track. And you know, this track came out in 2007, I wrote it in 2003, so I could perhaps reach those high notes a little better, and they’ve raised it another tone, tone and a half, so it’s up there. So I’m hoping I have some vocal chords left after our own set to destroy with Pendulum.” Luckily for Reynolds Enter Shikari’s show was cut short leaving him ready for the challenge.

Pendulum most recently released the 2021 four-track EP “Elementa”, their first since 2010’s “Immersion.” As of yet the Brixton show is the only performance the band have announced.

05/03/2023 – 02 Brixton Academy – London

In a thorough overview of the ceremony, the leading electronic label and promoted UKF rightfuly states that the results “reflect resilience, talent and innovation this year, and the awards try to show respect to this as much as possible. No single ceremony can congratulate all those worthy in the scene, but the Drum&BassArena Awards certainly does its best to celebrate as many talented individuals as possible” The full ceremony alongside all interviews and acceptance videos can be seen on the YouTube video bellow.

As stated in the official Drum&Bass Arena Awards’ website, all winners have been exclusively selected by electronic public votes, with the exception of the Hall of Fame Award given by fellow DJs and industry professionals, and the Critics Choice Award chosen by bloggers and writers. As usual, the awards were heavily dominated by British producers, with few international honorary mentions such as the Australian drum’n’bass giants Pendulum who won their first ever prize for Best Live Stream for their live performance at Spitbank Fort back in October, and then followed it by also winning the Best Track award for their killer comeback ‘Driver‘ from September 2020.

Without any surprises, the biggest winner of the night was the renowned London independent label Hospital Records who won the Best Label award for seventh consecutive year and also claimed the Best Event for their Hospitality series across the UK. Three members of their extensive current roster also managed to claim prizes for their individual accomplishments, with Metrik winning the prestigious award for Best Producer, Inja being voted as Best MC and the Brazillian DJ S.P.Y going home with the prize for Best Remix for his re-work of ‘You Got Me‘ by Kings Of The Rollers, also signed for Hospital Records.

Huge congratulations to @MetrikMusic, @injamusic, @KOTRTWEETS and @SPYDNB for being recognized for their wonderful work this year, and thank you so much for voting for us, to all of our fans across the world and to @OfficialDnBA pic.twitter.com/3CnMTIJPEk
