Lizzo

It’s been a massive year for pop’s breakout phenomenon, Lizzo. The Minneapolis-based singer, rapper, and – famously – classically-trained flutist has ruled the dancefloor with her third studio album, Cuz I Love You, and the inescapable anthems “Juice”, “Boys” and Billboard chart-topper “Truth Hurts”. Smashing stages at Coachella, Glastonbury and the BET Awards, where her unforgettable twerking and flute-playing had the audience (and Rihanna) on their feet in rapture, now it’s Australia’s turn to experience the full force of Lizzo as she makes her Sydney Opera House debut – a sassy celebration of self-love and unshakable party anthems for one epic night only.

An R&B superstar for the here and now, the Detroit-born singer has drawn comparisons to Aretha Franklin, collaborated with the mint list of pop alongside Prince, Missy Elliott, Charli XCX and Ariana Grande, and made her big screen debut in this year’s joyous blockbuster Hustlers. Lizzo’s shows have already become the stuff of legend, championing self-love, embracing game-changing body positivity, and delivering infectious, inclusive party vibes that run the gamut from full-throated soul to body-shaking electro pop and monster hip hop bangers.

With her only other Sydney appearance at FOMO Festival, in the words of the lady herself, this is 100 per cent that show you don’t want to miss!
