Mitski for Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House

Overview

A lot has happened since Japanese-American songwriter Mitski was last on our shores. She's taken a two-year hiatus, released a pair of albums and risen from the upper echelons of the indie scene to achieve massive mainstream success. Now with an eighth album, Nothing's About to Happen to Me, dropping on Friday, February 27, the superstar artist is making a long-awaited return to Australia to embark on four landmark performances.

Taking place exclusively for Vivid LIVE at the Sydney Opera House nightly from Friday, May 29–Monday, June 1, this iconic venue will be the perfect stage for Mitski's raw, poetic lyrics, paired with soaring orchestral arrangements. Delving into her new album alongside a harmonious selection of tunes from her sprawling back catalogue, those lucky enough to score tickets can expect intimate sound, gut-wrenching lyricism and visceral theatricality.

Described by Rolling Stone as "the most alluring and enigmatic musician in indie rock," Mitski has earned this high praise with her undeniable ability to reinvent her sound with every new release. With the tear-jerking hit tune 'My Love Mine All Mine' going four times platinum, the ever-evolving artist has also spent the last few years collaborating with other musical icons, including Florence and the Machine and David Byrne.

"There are artists who have successful careers, and there are artists who profoundly change people's lives — the utterly brilliant Mitski does both. Years in the making, it's a dream come true to welcome this internationally revered, generation-defining artist to Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House for four Australian exclusive performances," says Sydney Opera House Head of Contemporary Music and Vivid LIVE Curator, Ben Marshall.

Artist pre-sale tickets are available from 10am on Wednesday, February 11, while tickets go on public sale from 10am on Friday, February 13. Head to the website for more information.
