Sometimes we want the truth to hurt, and with the news that Lizzo is coming to Melbourne, we don’t mind if it stings. The multi-award-winning singer teased us with her headline announcement for Splendour in the Grass, and now she has announced that she will be also but hitting up Perth, Sydney and Melbourne with The Special Tour 2023.
The Grammy Award and Emmy Award-winning singer, songwriter, rapper (and good as hell flautist)’s tour commences in Perth on July 14 before she makes her way to Rod Laver Arena on July 17 and 18 with special guest Zimbabwean-Australian singer-songwriter Tkay Maidza.
Lizzo’s hugely successful second full-length album Special is her biggest, boldest and brightest work yet, and is teeming with joyful disco funk songs about self-acceptance, hope and gratitude. The album saw Lizzo receive four nominations at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, with her smash hit single 'About Damn Time' obliterating the charts and taking the title of Record of the Year.
The pied piper of pop first broke onto the music scene with her 2019 debut album Cuz I Love You, which offered up countless hits like ‘Tempo’ with Missy Elliott, ‘Good as Hell’ and ‘Truth Hurts’ that all reached platinum status. ‘Truth Hurts’ even raced to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and made history as the longest running number one by a solo female rap artist ever.
