Faithless are an English dance music band that formed in 1995, with its core members being Rollo, Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz.[3] Their first album, Reverence, was released in 1996 and their most recent, All Blessed, in 2020. They have sold millions of physical records, and their catalogue was uploaded to streaming sites in 2018.[4] They average almost 3 million listeners a month on Spotify.[5] Faithless' records have charted at No. 1 in numerous countries and they were voted the 4th greatest dance band of all time by Mixmag.

Their lyrical style has been seen as sociopolitical.[6] All Blessed uses award-winning photo-journalist Yannis Behrakis' picture of refugees on the front, focusing on immigration as its core theme.[7]

Faithless have headlined numerous major festivals in Europe and beyond, including four editions of Glastonbury.[8]
