Chemical Brothers hit Olympia

The Chemical Brothers will be playing at London's Olympia, their biggest ever London headline show.

This will be the first time any band has played this historic venue in ten years and demonstrates yet again the incredible popularity of the band, both commercially and critically.

The Chemical Brothers have also been nominated for two Grammy Awards. Tom and Ed are up for Best Dance Recording for the single 'Do It Again' and for Best Electronic Album/Dance Album for 'We Are The Night'. The band already have a collection of Grammy Awards, having won in 1998 Best Rock Instrumental for 'Block Rockin' Beats' and in 2005, winning Best Dance Recording for 'Galvanize' and Best Electronic/Dance Album for 'Push The Button'.

2007 has already been a spectacular year for Tom and Ed. It has seen them play an incredible show at Trafalgar Square, headline Glastonbury and Fuji Rock, as well as selling-out three nights at Brixton Academy and playing the Roundhouse in London and playing as part of the BBC's Electric Proms.

This year also saw their latest album 'We Are The Night' become fifth successive Number 1 album in the UK.

Tickets for Olympia will go on sale on @ 9am Tuesday 18th December and will be priced £30.
