A powerhouse performer
Auldist’s resume speaks for itself. She’s the only solo Australian artist to sign with prestigious UK label Tru Thoughts, where she dropped three albums before moving to German imprint Soul Bank Records for her 80s electro soul releases Family Tree and This is What Happiness Looks Like. The two-time Music Victoria Award winner also lent her voice to the global smash This Girl by Kungs vs Cookin’ on 3 Burners, a track that cracked the top 100 in over 50 countries and racked up more than one billion Spotify streams.
Her work with The Bamboos has earned multiple ARIA Award nominations, while her solo career has seen her become a fixture on the international soul and funk circuit. Auldist’s ability to move between vintage soul, contemporary R&B and electronic-tinged funk has made her one of the most versatile vocalists working today. Her live performances are known for their energy and emotional depth, making this free show a genuine steal for anyone who appreciates quality musicianship.
PBS presenter Lyndelle Wilkinson will keep the energy flowing with DJ sets throughout the afternoon. The Afterglow Radio Show host has been part of the PBS family for over two decades, spinning everything from disco and soul to indie and electronic dance. Her sets will bookend Auldist’s performance, creating a seamless afternoon of groove-heavy sounds that complement the main act perfectly.
What to expect

Kingston City Hall will have chips and chocolate bars available for purchase, while punters can bring their own picnic food as long as it doesn’t need heating and won’t stink out the venue. The bar will be serving drinks throughout the afternoon for those looking to add a beverage to their picnic setup.
Seating isn’t allocated and the venue can’t reserve spots, so keen fans should arrive early to secure the best positions. The indoor setting means the show goes ahead rain or shine, removing the usual weather anxiety that comes with summer outdoor events.
The partnership between Kingston Arts and PBS 106.7FM continues to deliver accessible live music experiences that celebrate local talent while keeping things relaxed and welcoming for all ages. As temperatures rise and summer properly kicks in, Sunday Sounds offers a perfect way to spend an afternoon without the hassle of expensive tickets or complicated logistics.
