Camp Cope’s Georgia Maq announces debut Melbourne solo show (again)

Georgia Maq

It's been a long time coming. After numerous delays, cancellations and postponements, Georgia Maq will finally take to the stage as a solo artist for her debut - this time at Brunswick Ballroom.

Following the last minute cancellation of her Melbourne Music Week show, Georgia Maq will finally take the stage with her eight piece band; presenting tracks from her solo album, Pleaser, as well as all new songs. She’ll officially make her long awaited solo Naarm / Melbourne debut at the Brunswick Ballroom on Wednesday June 22.

She’ll be joined by special guest Montgomery alongside her extensive live band, grand piano and string ensemble, providing backing to her musings on loneliness, desire and the therapeutic potential of dance floors.

While Camp Cope are Melbourne natives, Maq will make her solo debut in Sydney as ahead of her Melbourne show, Georgia plays the Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid Live on Saturday June 4. Tickets for her Sydney show are available here.

Since debuting with 2019’s Pleaser LP, Georgia Maq has chased a more electronically-informed brand of pop music in her solo career, lightly influenced by the likes of Robyn, Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen and others.

Full of DIY electro-pop that mined evergreen themes of romantic, sexual and self-love, alongside politically-charged songs like ‘Joe Rogan’, Maq’s solo debut dove into her vulnerabilities and heartbreaks, and expanding beyond the runaway success of Camp Cope, whose eponymous debut album back in 2016 was met with universal acclaim and won that year’s J Award.

Tickets are on sale now here.
