Time Out Sydney
The queen of visionary R&B returns
Pyramids. A glowing sphere. Visions of black excellence. Few who saw Solange’s visually breathtaking and culturally inclusive performances at Vivid LIVE 2018 will ever forget those sold out shows. In 2020, Solange returns to headline the same venue for the first time in her career. The American R&B superstar is set to bless Australian audiences with a brand new live showcase of her incredible new record, When I Get Home across four nights in the Concert Hall.
A singular polymath on the cutting edge of Afrofuturism R&B, Solange Knowles is a Grammy award winning singer, songwriter, performance artist and filmmaker, who is also the recipient of the prestigious Harvard Arts prize. Solange’s self produced fourth record, When I Get Home, and its accompanying film of dreamlike sci-fi imagery, mixes adventurous sounds with the spiritual warmth of coming home, delivering an artistic triumph that “is a celebration. A celebration of females. A celebration of black culture. But mostly a celebration of music.” (NME)
Sure to be the shows of the summer, these are currently Solange’s only headline performances in the world for 2020.
Experience the most radical R&B icon and prepare to be up close for the ride.
Presented by Sydney Opera House.
