| “I’ve got stories, and a disproportionate number of them are from touring in Australia. It’s absolutely been way too long since I’ve brought a live show here, and on top of that I have never played a show in New Zealand! I really can’t wait.” – Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs |

The tour then heads to Australia playing The Triffid, Brisbane on Tuesday 9 May, then onto 170 Russell, Melbourne on Thursday 11 May, Manning Bar, Sydney on Friday 12 May before a final show at The Rosemount Hotel, Perth on Saturday 13 May. These are Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs’ first Australian shows in over 10 years and the first time ever playing New Zealand!

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs remains an artist who stridently criss-crosses the worlds of live electronic and club-oriented production. Having graced us with his very first single ‘Garden’ in 2010, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has since released an applauded trail of EPs, singles, collaborations including two full length studio albums ‘Trouble’ (2012) with a ten-year gap before the visual, symbolic, emotive and highly anticipated 17-track ‘When the Lights Go’ (2022) – out now via Nice Age / I OH YOU / Liberator Music, here. The acclaimed album features the singles, ‘Crosswalk’, ‘Blood In The Snow’, ‘The Sleeper’, ‘Forever’, ‘Persuasion’ and ‘Never Seen You Dance’.
| “Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has finally come through with the goods through the release of his long-awaited second full-length album ‘When the Lights Go’, a seventeen-track journey filled with stunning soundscapes and infectious grooves that transport you away from the mundane nature of the real world and into a new dimension of captivation and wonder.” – Acid Stag |
| “When the Lights Go sees Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs making thrilling dance pop on his own terms.” 8/10 The Line of Best Fit |
On top of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs acclaimed solo projects, he has collaborated with some of the best in the electronic field, most notably his Grammy-nominated hit, ‘Heartbreak’ with Bonobo and together again on ‘6000Ft.’. Other collabs include The Knocks ‘Walking On Water (feat. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs)’, Porter Robinson ‘Unfold’, Bronson ‘DAWN (feat. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs)’ and Dillon Francis ‘Without You’.
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has also stamped his personal signature sound remixing with and for Confidence Man, Hayden James, Calibre, Lastlings, Jake Shears to name just a few.
| “As the night went on, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs had full control of the room, exploding confetti into the crowd and unleashing blow-up dinosaur toys. Higginbottom played some of his older, instrumental tracks and devolved his set into more of a DJ showcase….Trouble remains one of my favourite albums of the year and Higgenbottom completely owned the room.” – Redefine mag |
| “This was honestly one of the best gigs I’ve been to in a long time and one of my highlights from this year. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaur’s latest album is so textured and filled with so many tiny precise details that I’ll now be listening to it regularly for at least the remainder of the year.” – Skiddle |
