Underworld, The Academy, Glasgow, 13 Oct

After an extended hiatus from the touring circuit, Underworld are set to remind you just why they're one of the chosen few to have survived the post-dance music fall with their status and following untarnished. They rightfully retain the full regalia reserved for the scene's older, wiser statesmen. Rick and Karl are back on the road to promote their newest release, Oblivion With Bells (due for release 3 Oct), their first album in five years. We can expect new material to be debuted alongside deep grooves and some classics from the Underworld jukebox. Don't let the size of the venue fool you, this is a low-key affair but in terms of anticipation this is a festival scale event. Underworld are a finely honed live act and know how to play to a crowd. This is the biggest ticket in town this weekend bar none. Beg, borrow, or steal. [Jack McFarlane]
