SIGN UP TO THE MELBOURNE PRESALE
Astral People and Handsome Tours proudly present the highly-anticipated Australian debut from Snoh Aalegra. Set to headline the Sydney Opera House and Forum in Melbourne as a part of annual art festivals; Vivid LIVE & RISING.
From being mentored by the legendary Prince in his final years to weaving through zig-zagging beats with icons like the Neptunes and Tyler the Creator, Snoh Aalegra has cemented her place among music royalty. VOGUE aptly captures the essence of her live show, noting, "It's not uncommon to be enveloped in a wave of chills or emotions while immersed in the evocative sounds of Snoh Aalegra.
"Hailed as the modern-day Sade and even sampled by Drake, Aalegra defies expectations at every turn. Her 2019 album 'Ugh, those feels again' soared to the top spot as the #1 R&B album on iTunes, while her lead single "I Want You Around" made history by hitting #1 and becoming the longest-charting song in American R&B radio history.
Aalegra's artistry knows no bounds; she effortlessly blends the romantic allure of soul, drawing comparisons to luminaries like Stevie Wonder and Prince, with the rhythmic cadence of rap and poignant lyrical narratives, all woven together with the free-flowing melodies of R&B. Her tracks pulsate with heavy thumps and delicate piano arrangements, exuding an irresistible sensual charm.
Snoh's smash hit "Nothing Burns Like the Cold" featuring Vince Staples set TikTok ablaze, racking up over 4 million videos and counting, while her track "I Want You Around" earned a coveted spot in Rolling Stone Magazine's top 100 R&B tracks of the 21st Century, rubbing shoulders with legends like Frank Ocean and Beyoncé.
Accolades abound for Aalegra, with multiple GRAMMY nominations and Swedish Grammis victories under her belt. Her music is a testament to her personal journey, drawing deeply from her experiences as an outsider who has found her voice and identity. Sold-out headline tours across North America and Europe, including two unforgettable nights at the historic Radio City Music Hall, have solidified her status as a global phenomenon.
Off the success of 2021's 'Temporary Highs in the Violet Skies', Snoh Aalegra now sets her sights on Australia, promising unforgettable performances. Catch her live in Sydney on Sunday, June 2nd at the iconic Sydney Opera House for Vivid LIVE, and in Melbourne on Wednesday, June 5th, at The Forum for a special event as part of RISING.
