Earlier this month Lizzo teased us as the headline act for Splendour in the Grass in July, now she’s confirmed she’s touring Australia and New Zealand.
While in the country in July, Lizzo will embark on her ‘The Special Tour 2023’ for a series of headline shows.
She’ll stop in Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney, joined by special guest Zimbabwean-Australian singer-songwriter Tkay Maidza. She’ll then head to New Zealand for a show at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Wednesday, July 26th.
Unfortunately Lizzo won’t be making her way down to South Australia.
To grab yourself tickets, American Express Pre-sale runs from 11am on Friday March 24 until Tuesday March 28 at 11am. The Live Nation Pre-sale commences Tuesday March 28 at 12pm, concluding Wednesday March 29 at 10am.
General public tickets go on sale on Wednesday March 29, from 11am.
Lizzo is known for her sound, soul, and spirit of popular music and culture with a series of definitive history-making smashes.
She’s collected numerous awards, topped the Billboard Hot 100 at #1 twice, picked up over a dozen gold and platinum certifications, sold out tours, and appeared in blockbuster films.
Lizzo’s hugely adored second full-length offering Special is her biggest, boldest, and brightest revolution thus far: bursting with chunky disco-funk beats designed to make you move. Special‘s spirited, charismatic anthems are her most adventurous yet.
The album saw Lizzo receive 4 nominations at the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards recently, with monumental lead single About Damn Time taking out the coveted title of Record Of The Year.
Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the most unabashedly joyous, sonically diverse, and emotionally profound album put out by a major label since Beyonce’s Lemonade,” Lizzo’s SPECIAL debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and #1 on the Pop Albums chart.
Lizzo first took over with her 2019 debut album, CUZ I LOVE YOU. It bowed at #4 on the Billboard Top 200, reached platinum status, graced countless critical year-end lists, and spawned “Tempo” [feat. Missy Elliott] (platinum), “Juice” (2x-platinum), “Good As Hell” (4x-platinum), and “Truth Hurts” (9x-platinum).
“Truth Hurts” raced to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and dominated the chart for seven weeks, making history as “the longest running #1 by a solo female rap artist ever.” Speaking to its impact, Rolling Stone even touted it among its coveted “500 Greatest Songs Of All Time.”
She’s sure to put on a fabulous show while in Australia!
