Overview

Sydney will be graced with the presence of the inimitable Grace Jones, the vocal talent and dynamic diva who has been stirring up the music world since the 1970s, with hits like 'Warm Leatherette' and 'Pull up to the Bumper'. In her return to Australia this April, she's bringing her jaw-dropping Hurricane tour with her.

Jones has been deemed 'amazing Grace' for her ability to effortlessly switch from her natural contralto tone to soprano, a skill that she only seems to improve upon every time she takes the stage. Her performing prowess, androgynous finesse and outrageous costumes will have you in awe. In fact, she's known for breaking tradition and pushing the limits.

"I've always been a rebel," Jones wrote on her website, The World of Grace Jones. "I never do things the way they're supposed to be done. Either I go in the opposite direction or I create a new direction for myself, regardless of what the rules are or what society says."

Grace Jones is an force of nature not to be reckoned with, but has a voice that shouldn't go unheard.
