Time Out says

It's about damn time the multi-award-winning singer, rapper and flautist made her return to Sydney

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.

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.”

All the details on the Lizzo’s Australian Special Tour below — including when to set your Lizzo ticket opening alarm.

Food & Drink

Arts & entertainment, design & style, travel & leisure, search concrete playground, lizzo has added extra shows to her 2023 australian arena tour before general tickets even go on sale.

The rapper, singer and flautist's Sydney and Melbourne gigs have sold out, so she's added more.

Fancy warming up your winter by watching Lizzo hit the stage? Don't we all. That's this July's hottest ticket Down Under, at both 2023's Splendour in the Grass — where the rapper, singer and flautist is the only announced headliner so far — and on her own arena tour of the country . And the latter is proving such a hit that more dates have already been added.

General ticket sales for Lizzo's Aussie tour only start on Wednesday, March 29, but the pre-sale period has seen her Sydney and Melbourne gigs sell out already via pre-sales. Cue two new concerts — one in each city — although, in sad news for Brisbanites, there's still no sign of a stint in the Sunshine State.

Still, if you're keen to see the 'Tempo', 'Juice', 'Truth Hurts' and 'Rumors' singer doing her own shows in New South Wales and Victoria, this news is as good as hell. Lizzo's solo gigs are tied to her 2022 album Special , including, of course, Grammy Record of the Year-winning single 'About Damn Time'. But attendees can expect to hear hits from 2019's CUZ I LOVE YOU as well — and an overall set filled with dance-ready beats.

Joining Lizzo on all dates as a special guest is Tkay Maidza, which means two must-see talents for the price of one.

While a Lizzo tour is always a welcome announcement, fans in Brisbane will still note the usual Splendour setup — that is, when someone plays the fest and does their own gigs around it, Brissie is considered close enough to Byron to not warrant a separate stop.

The Live Nation pre-sale for the new Sydney and Melbourne gigs runs until 10am local time on Wednesday, March 29, with general sales for all shows kicking off at 11am local time also on Wednesday, March 29.

LIZZO — THE SPECIAL TOUR 2023:

Friday, July 14 — RAC Arena, Perth Monday, July 17–Tuesday, July 18 — Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Sunday, July 23–Monday, July 24 — Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney Wednesday, July 26 — Spark Arena, Auckland

Lizzo will tour Australia and New Zealand in July 2023. The Live Nation presale runs until 10am on Wednesday, March 29, with general sales from 11am Wednesday, March 29 — with all times local. For further details, head to the tour website .

Lizzo’s upcoming Australian tour will mark her first headline shows in the country since 2020, when she performed at the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne’s Forum Theatre in addition to appearances at that year’s FOMO Festival.

Alongside her headline dates, Lizzo was also recently announced as the first headliner for this year’s edition of Splendour in the Grass , making her debut at the festival in July. When announcing Lizzo’s place on the bill a fortnight ago, organisers said the rest of the lineup would be revealed within a matter of weeks.

Since last visiting the country, Lizzo has released her fourth studio album,  Special . The follow-up to 2019 breakout Cuz I Love You featured hits  ‘About Damn Time’  – which won  Record of the Year at the 2023 Grammy Awards  – and ‘2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)’.

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.

Lizzo drops australian tour bombshell.

Lizzo's Aussie tour announcement

Singer Lizzo has dropped an unexpected bombshell regarding her performances in Australia.

The Grammy Award-winning artist was set to appear at one event, headlining Splendour in the Grass at North Byron Parklands in July.

WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Lizzo’s exciting news

But now the Good as Hell singer has announced an extra three solo arena shows - at the RAC Arena in Perth, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, and the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.

In a video shared to her Instagram stories on Wednesday, Lizzo announced: “Aussies ... I’m coming to Australia and New Zealand!”

“That’s right, the Special Tour is coming to Australia and New Zealand and I’m so f******excited.

“I missed you guys so much.

“I can’t wait to see all of you again.”

Lizzo was last in Australia in 2020, playing sold-out shows at the Sydney Opera House and The Forum in Melbourne.

This time around, Lizzo will be supported by Zimbabwean-born Aussie rapper Tkay Maidza.

On Wednesday Maidza took to TikTok, announcing excitedly: “Guess what? Just found out I’m touring with Lizzo!”

When the tour dates were announced on Live Nation Australia’s Instagram page, fans went wild.

“Yeeowwww about damn time,” one fan wrote.

Others were devastated there were no Queensland dates.

“PLEASE ADD BRISBANE,” one fan begged.

“Ummm where is Queensland?” wondered another.

“No Queensland WTH,” grumbled a third.

Australian arena dates

Friday, July 14 – RAC Arena, Perth

Monday, July 17 – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne

Sunday, July 23 – Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney

Tickets to Lizzo’s The Special Tour concerts are on sale from March 29.

Hollywood star Austin Butler is heading Down Under.

The award-winning American actor, 32, will jet in from the United States to attend the Australian premiere of his latest film, The Bikeriders.

This much-anticipated event is part of the Special Presentations strand of the Sydney Film Festival.

The red carpet will be rolled out at Sydney's State Theatre on June 6, four weeks ahead of the film's July 4 cinematic release. 

Butler is no stranger to Australian fans and the local industry, thanks to his standout performance as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann 's biopic, Elvis.

He spent considerable time in Australia while shooting the film on the Gold Coast and last visited for the premiere in 2022.

His portrayal of the King of Rock and Roll earned him a Golden Globe and a BAFTA, along with an Academy Award nomination. 

This event marks yet another star-studded occasion for Sydney, following recent high-profile premieres featuring Chris Hemsworth, Anya Taylor-Joy, and George Miller for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, as well as Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist for Challengers .

Butler's career, which began with a role in Nickelodeon's Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide in 2005, has seen him rise to prominence with notable performances in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and the upcoming Dune: Part Two .

The Bikeriders, also featuring Norman Reedus, Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer, and Michael Shannon , delves into the gritty world of a fictional Chicago outlaw motorcycle club, The Vandals, set in the 1960s.

The film promises a thrilling ride through the tumultuous rise of the club, with Butler at the helm of its star-studded cast.

Lizzo Reacts to ‘South Park’ Shout-Out in Ozempic Episode: ‘Damn, I’m Really That Bitch’

• By Daniel Kreps

Lizzo reacted to a new South Park special that championed her attitude toward body positivity amid the outbreak of Ozempic and similar weight loss methods.

“Guys, my worst fear has been actualized: I’ve been referenced in a South Park episode. I’m so scared,” Lizzo said on TikTok before doing a side-by-side live viewing of the South Park episode titled “The End of Obesity.”

In the episode, Lizzo is a quasi-medication inspired by the singer as an alternative to the pricey drugs like Ozempic. “I’m going to write you a prescription for Lizzo,” a doctor says on the episode. “She’s a really good singer who talks about body positivity, and just being happy with the way you look. I want you to listen to Lizzo five times a day, and watch her videos just before bedtime. I’m afraid you’ll have to be on Lizzo for the rest of your life.”

Lizzo, overjoyed by the shout-out, added on TikTok, “That’s crazy. I just feel like, damn, I’m really that bitch,” she says. “I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a fuck to the point where these men in Colorado know who the fuck I am and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years.”

She continued, “I’m really that bitch and I show you how to not give a fuck and I’ll keep showing you how to not give a fuck,” before putting her spin on the song from the Ozempic commercial (although she appears to sing the O’Reilly Auto Parts theme instead of Pilot’s “Magic.”)

A knife-wielding madman, connected to a murder investigation, attacked four girls inside a Massachusetts movie theater before injuring two others at a McDonald’s during his stabbing spree on Saturday.

The unprovoked attacks began around 6 p.m. inside the AMC Braintree 10 when the armed suspect walked into the complex, past the ticket booth and entered one of the theaters without paying.

The suspect stabbed the four girls, whose ages ranged from 9 to 17, without saying a word, Braintree police said Saturday night .

The girls were rushed to Boston-area hospitals and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

An AMC employee working concessions at the time of the initial stabbings described the man as wearing “an oversized trench coat, sunglasses, and a long blonde wig,” according to CBS Boston.

After fleeing from the multiplex in a black SUV, the man drove over 30 miles to Plymouth, MA., where he is believed to have been involved in another “similar assault” at a McDonald’s.

At around 7:09 p.m. Massachusetts State Troopers responded to the McDonald’s at the Rt. 3 Park and Ride in Plymouth, MA. where they discovered a 21-year-old female and a 29-year-old male suffering from apparent stab wounds.

They were also treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

“Preliminary investigation suggests a likely connection to an earlier incident at a movie theatre in Braintree resulting in non-life threatening injuries to four juveniles,” the Massachusetts State Police said.

After failing to pull over, the armed maniac led police on a car chase before crashing in Sandwich, Ma.

He was taken into custody and is currently being treated for injuries at a hospital.

The suspected attacker is also believed to be linked to a murder investigation in Deep River, Connecticut.

“At approximately 3:36 p.m., Connecticut State Police Troop F – Westbrook responded to a report of a disturbance at an address in the town of Deep River,” CSP announced.

One person was found dead at the scene and “a suspect in this investigation has been taken into custody in the State of Massachusetts and there is no active threat to the public.”

Connecticut State Police issued an alert earlier on Saturday for the suspect, describing him as “armed and dangerous” with a 10-inch knife, CBS Boston reported.
