Following news of her headline act at Splendour in the Grass, Lizzo has revealed she’ll be touring around Australia and New Zealand. By Hayley Peppin

IT’S ABOUT Damn Time Lizzo returned to Australia and New Zealand. And apparently, the American superstar and all-round icon agrees with us.

Lizzo has announced she’ll be touring our glorious part of the world mid-year, following last week’s stellar news of her headlining Splendour in the Grass. The stadium side shows will run alongside her Splendour debut, with the festival set to take place between Friday 21st and Sunday 23rd July.

This’ll be the first time Lizzo has been down under since 2020, where she not only sold-out Melbourne’s The Forum and the Sydney Opera House, and performed at FOMO festival — but adorably packed Foodbank hampers for bushfire-affected victims.

This year, however, the 34-year-old will be hitting our shores with Grammy in tow — after taking home the 2023 Record of the Year for ‘About Damn Time’ (on top of four nominations) — and is to be supported by the inimitable Australian singer-songwriter and rapper, Tkay Maidza.

“the girls are popppin out!! soooo excited to be supporting THEE  @lizzobeeating  this july in aus!! amen!! rahhhh,” Maidza shared to Instagram .

Lizzo will be performing her Grammy-nominated fourth studio album Special , which was released in July, 2022 in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. The record included hit singles such as ‘About Damn Time’ and ‘2 Be Loved (Am I Ready).’ Previously, Lizzo made history when her track ‘Truth Hurts’ from her CUZ I LOVE YOU album became the longest running #1 song by a solo female rap artist ever.

“I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, even though I know you guys were going through a lot as a country (with bushfires),” Lizzo told The Daily Telegraph in July 2022.

“I really felt like I connected with Australia and had some really beautiful moments. So of course I want to come back like, why wouldn’t I? I love to tour, I love to travel and I love Australia.”

Time Out says

Sometimes we want the truth to hurt, and with the news that Lizzo is coming to Sydney, we don’t mind if it stings. The multi-award-winning singer teased us with her headline announcement for  Splendour in the Grass , and now she has announced that she will be also but hitting up Perth, Sydney and Melbourne with The Special Tour 2023. 

It'l be her first visit to the country since she blew our minds at the Sydney Opera House in January 2020.

The Grammy Award and Emmy Award-winning singer, songwriter, rapper (and good as hell flautist)’s tour commences in Perth on July 14 before she makes her way to Melbourne   on July 17 and wraps up at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on July 23 with special guest Zimbabwean-Australian singer-songwriter   Tkay Maidza .

Lizzo’s hugely successful second full-length album   Special   is her biggest, boldest and brightest work yet, and is teeming with joyful disco funk songs about self-acceptance, hope and gratitude. The album saw Lizzo receive four nominations at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, with her smash hit single ' About Damn Time'   obliterating the charts and taking the title of Record of the Year. 

The pied piper of pop first broke onto the music scene with her 2019 debut album   Cuz I Love You , which offered up countless hits like ‘Tempo’ with Missy Elliott, ‘Good as Hell’ and ‘Truth Hurts’ that all reached platinum status. ‘Truth Hurts’ even raced to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and made history as the longest running number one by a solo female rap artist   ever.

To ensure you get tickets to see the queen herself, the American Express pre-sale runs from 11am on March 24 until  11am on   March 28. The   Live Nation   pre-sale commences at 12noon on March 28 with general public tickets on sale from  11am on  March 29.

Lizzo: The Special Tour 2023

In the month of July, we're usually contending with cold and dark winter days – but this year we're feeling good as hell about a special guest who's set to brighten up three capital cities for high-octane shows.

Lizzo will be taking to stages in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney as part of The Special Tour – the announcement comes a week after Splendour in the Grass organisers revealed she was this year's headliner. She's the pudding in the proof, gotta blame it on her juice.

Sharing the stage with her is Zimbabwean-born Australian singer-songwriter and rapper Tkay Maidza as her opening act.

Lizzo's hit Truth Hurts landed on Rolling Stone ’s list of the 500 greatest songs of all time, while her second full-length album, Special , was released last year to critical acclaim. Its lead single, About Damn Time , also won the Grammy for Record of the Year.

The first presale with American Express starts on Friday March 24 at 11am local time, with a Live Nation pre-sale on Tuesday March 28 at 12pm local time. General tickets go on sale on Wednesday March 29 at 11am local time.
