25 years since the release of their breakthrough album Schubert Dip EMF is reclaiming the torch they lit when their worldwide smash “Unbelievable” launched the band into the mainstream stratosphere including the U.S. where the track hit the top of the charts.  “We have so many great memories of being in the U.S. in the ‘90s when ‘Unbelievable’ was shooting up the Billboard Hot 100 where it reached #1,” he says. “Those were crazy times and you all in the U.S. will always hold a special place in our hearts because you took us into yours. We will be playing all the hits from Schubert Dip that we played back in the day; ‘Unbelievable,’ of course, but also ‘Lies,’ ‘I Believe’ and ‘Children’.”

Sprinkled throughout their setlists will include songs from their most recent album The Beauty and the Chaos (2024) and EP Reach for Something Higher (2025). He reminisces, “Talking of crazy times, landing in all the beauty and the chaos of the U.S. in June 2025 inspired us to write ‘Hands in the Air’ and ‘LGBTQ+ Lover’ which were included in the Reach for Something Higher EP.”
