Megalomania: The Australian Black Sabbath Tribute Show
Rochelle Jordan has been waiting 15 years for this moment — she’s not about to rush it
Across early cult releases ROJO, Pressure and 1021, and a triumphant comeback with Play with the Changes in 2021, the alt-R&B and soul artist has built a reputation for bending genres without ever losing her centre. Her third full-length album Through The Wall, released in September 2025, is the record that made the rest of the world catch up — 17 tracks of polished house, garage, electronic soul and pop that have amassed over 200 million global streams, sold out headline tours across the US, and earned acclaim from virtually every corner.
Now, she’s bringing it to Australia for the first time.
Rochelle Jordan’s Australian tour
- 26 May — Sydney Opera House, VIVID LIVE Sydney
- 28 May — 170 Russell, Melbourne
- 29 May — The Crowbar, Brisbane

At the heart of Through The Wall is KLSH, Jordan’s longtime executive producer and collaborator since 2009. Their creative partnership is the kind of thing most artists spend entire careers searching for, and Jordan says the formula hasn’t really shifted. “Not much has changed. We grew together in this and still honor what’s meant the most to us when we started making projects in 09,” she says. “We have high standards so we never lie to each other about these songs. We want every album to be great, no matter how long it takes. I think this mentality is a forever thing.”
That patience extends to the way the pair build tracks together. Through The Wall moves between UK garage, Chicago house and silky R&B with the kind of fluidity that sounds effortless, but Jordan insists the process is more instinct than blueprint. “We always have a direction but we’re never rigid, so it lowkey just happens,” she explains. “In the end it all comes down to choices within the many vibes that we’ve created together and alongside other exceptional artists. By that time we can both hear and feel what the world is and so we just follow that feeling, sound and execute to the best of our ability.”
Alongside KLSH, the album features collaborations with DāM FunK, Chicago house legend Terry Hunter, Byron the Aquarius, Japan’s Initial Talk and KAYTRANADA, who lends his touch to the trance-laced The Boy.
After 15 years of grinding as an independent artist, the scale of Through The Wall’s reception could easily feel like a long-overdue arrival. Jordan sees it differently. “Honestly I’m just sitting in a space of gratitude, giving all of what’s happening to the most high, hard work and dedication. A little bit of vindication on the side for all the sleepless nights lol but I’m staying present because nothing in life is guaranteed,” she says. “I’m happy they hear me now because now I’m more than ready to be heard.”
Ask Jordan what her music sounds like in physical space and the answer is vivid. “The room is dark, shadowy, with shades of indigo, pink and strobe shots of white. It feels like the room is spinning as you’re ascending upwards,” she says. “It’s a portal of confidence, freedom, honesty and joy.”
As for what Australian fans can expect? Jordan is characteristically direct. “My Australian fan base is sexy, excitable, very chic and lovers of music, truly. I have no shadow of a doubt that these shows are about to be some of my favorites played ever! I’m so ready to be on the dancefloor with my Aussie darlings.”
And if she could play one track for the teenage version of herself uploading YouTube covers? “I’d show young Rojo Ladida. She would be shocked and extremely frustrated that she can’t make that song right now, instantly in the bedroom on her little white Macbook on Garage Band trying to replicate what she just heard. She’d be proud.”

Since first landing on the radar with 2014’s Is It A Banger, which cracked triple j’s Hottest 100, Odd Mob has stacked up a catalogue of club-ready tracks. Get Busy clocked more than 120 million streams and topped both the ARIA and UK Upfront Club charts, earning him an ARIA Gold Record for the Sean Paul collaboration. He kept the momentum rolling with Left to Right and Won’t Be Possible, and teamed up with LA producer OMNOM on a string of releases including Losing Control, System and All Day All Night.
Most recently, the pair dropped Coming Up (It’s Dare), a fully cleared rework of Gorillaz’s Dare, pushing Odd Mob past 450 million streams across platforms. A collaboration with Tiësto also proved a landmark moment, becoming the number one most-played dance record on US radio and racking up more than 40 million streams. Off the back of that single, he sold out The Shrine in Los Angeles.
On the live front, Odd Mob has notched appearances at EDC Las Vegas, Shambhala Music Festival, Beyond Wonderland and multiple Elrow events around the globe, as well as supporting Swedish House Mafia in Ibiza. Closer to home, his standout set at Beyond The Valley’s Dance Dome in 2024 cemented his reputation as one of the country’s most in-demand electronic acts.
