Thelma Plum will play a Melbourne rooftop show at Top Yard on Friday October 28 as part of ALWAYS LIVE's Islands in the Sky Series of Melbourne rooftop performances.
ALWAYS LIVE’s Island In The Sky series will also include Years & Years at Victorian Pride Centre, The Veronicas at Transit Bar, and Big Freedia at Curtin House’s Rooftop Bar.
The state-wide live music program launched with a bang back in March, with the Foo Fighters playing a very special Geelong performance. That set the precedent for the sheer scale of the program with Billy Joel at the MCG, and Nick Cave and Warren Ellis at Hanging Rock, following soon after.

Thelma Plum has been a leading light of Australian music since her brilliant 2019 debut album, Better in Blak, featuring bold lyrics channelled through her sublime voice, resplendently gliding across infectious melodies that saw her switch from synth-pop to indie-folk with charming ease.
Her debut album included a critique of racism, sexism and shallowness, and explored identity, grief, relationship turmoil and self-worth. On top of that, there was the stunning album closer, ‘Made For You’, that she wrote with Paul Kelly and on which Paul McCartney contributed guitar parts after overhearing the track in producer David Kahne’s studio.
A charismatic live performer and affecting songwriter unafraid to submerge in suffering, Plum continues to emerge with newfound potency, finding courage in vulnerability with purposeful artistry.
