She’ll also be performing at the already-announced TRAMP warehouse party at Melbourne’s PICA on November 22, alongside BIG WETT, JoJo Siwa and more.

These performances mark Murphy’s highly anticipated return to Australia’s live music scene, where she’ll deliver fan-favourite solo hits like Overpowered, Ramalama (Bang Bang) and You Know Me Better, as well as celebrated Moloko classics including Sing It Back, The Time Is Now and Pure Pleasure Seeker.

This tour coincides with Murphy’s appearances at the WOMADelaide festival in South Australia on Saturday, March 8, and at WOMAD Aotearoa in New Zealand the following weekend. Known for her dynamic performances, Murphy recently captivated audiences with shows at prestigious venues like London’s Royal Albert Hall, continuing her tradition of unpredictable and electrifying live sets.

Murphy rose to fame in the 1990s as part of the duo Moloko and has since carved out a solo career lauded for its originality and constant evolution. Her sixth album, Hit Parade, produced in collaboration with DJ Koze, was met with critical acclaim and reached the UK Album Chart’s top 5, marking her highest-charting release to date.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience Róisín Murphy, the “queen of avant-garde pop,” live on stage, bringing her innovative sound and artistic flair to Australian audiences once again.
