For fans of electronic music with real hip-hop bones beneath it, Hippie Sabotage is one of the more interesting acts touring right now. The Sacramento-based duo plays Higher Ground in South Burlington, Vermont on Sunday, April 26, 2026, with an 8:00 PM start time.
Hippie Sabotage — brothers Jeff and Travis Walker — built their following the modern way: through streaming, through sync placements, through the slow accumulation of listeners who found a track and stayed. “Your Soul,” their most recognizable song, is the kind of slow-burning electronic record that found its audience by feel rather than by hype. The duo’s blend of chill trap, alternative production, and hip-hop rhythm has aged well in a streaming era that rewards repeat listens.
What they’ve done with that streaming audience is translate it into rooms full of people who know the music intimately. Hippie Sabotage shows tend to feel like something between a concert and a communal listening session — the production is tight, the vibe is intentional, and the crowd arrives already connected to the material.
Higher Ground continues to be one of the best rooms in the broader North Country area for exactly this kind of act. Tickets are on sale now. If you’re making the Vermont border run this weekend, Sunday April 26 finishes the trip the right way.
