M.I.A.

Overview

Hip-hop star, painter, unabating philanthropist and 2010's 75^th most influential person of the 21^st century M.I.A. has announced a one-off Sydney headline show.

Performing on the back of the Summadayze and Summafieldayze festivals in January, M.I.A will hit The Enmore on January 4^th armed with jangly new single "Bad Girls" and a slew of other electronica/hip-hop/world/pop fusions.

Somehow managing to be both irresistibly catchy and outlandishly different, M.I.A. is one of the defining artists of the last ten years. One of the ten defining artist of the last ten years according to Rolling Stone. She's also been nominated for an Academy Award for the track "O… Saya" (that you'll probably know from Slumdog Millionaire), and has two Grammy awards to her name thanks to "Paper Planes" and "Swagga Like Us". Just in case you feel like feeling old, the original non-T.I. version of those two tracks was released almost six years ago.

Have your clicking finger at the ready when tickets go on sale through Ticketek on Tuesday 27th. This really is a show not to be missed.
