Four Tet Puts His Entire Four-Hour Alexandra Palace Show Online for Free

Remember that Four Tet Alexandra Palace show from last November that everyone who went wouldn’t shut up about? Now you can watch the whole thing. Kieran Hebden uploaded the complete recording of his November 22, 2025 performance to YouTube on Friday — all four-plus hours of it — with the audio version also streaming on Apple Music.

This isn’t a highlights reel. The film starts with the venue half-empty and ambient textures floating around the rafters, then tracks the entire arc as 10,000 people filter in and the night builds from headphone music to full-on rave. You get to watch the room fill up in real time, which sounds boring on paper but is weirdly hypnotic in practice. The production credits are stacked too: lighting design from Ed Warren, sound by Parker, and direction from Joanna Nordahl, whose cameras treat the light rig like a co-headliner.

The selections are peak Hebden brain: Ricardo Villalobos into Koreless into Jai Paul, with detours through Josi Devil, Floating Points, Special Request and — because it’s 2026 and genre walls are decorative at this point — Skrillex, all woven around his own originals and remixes. Nobody else sequences a night quite like this, and having it archived in full means you can actually study how he gets from ambient opener to peak time without a single jarring transition.

It’s been a generous week for “you had to be there” moments becoming publicly available, honestly. Avicii’s final Ushuaïa set surfaced in full on Thursday, and Alexandra Palace itself has been the site of some historic nights lately — Fred again.. and Thomas Bangalter’s b2b being the obvious one. There’s a real trend forming of dance music’s biggest artists treating full-length set releases as proper artifacts rather than letting shaky phone footage tell the story, and long may it continue.

Hebden’s been busy elsewhere, too: he put out an album under his Wingdings alias earlier this year, and his rework appears on Turnstile’s new remix LP that dropped the same day, alongside flips from KETTAMA and Oklou. But if you’ve got a free afternoon and decent speakers, the Ally Pally film is the assignment. Clear four hours. It earns them.
