The Mercury Music Prize nominated artist behind tunes such as ‘Overpowered’, ‘Ramalama (Bang Bang)’ and ‘You Know Me Better’, along with Moloko hit singles ‘Sing it Back’ and ‘The Time Is Now’, is performing three headline shows in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney and also appearing at next year’s bumper WOMADelaide festival.

For the past three decades, Róisín Murphy has been at the forefront of the electronic pop movement. Born in Ireland, it wasn’t until her family moved to Manchester when she was a teenager that Murphy found herself falling in love with music.

Murphy’s career took off several years later when she met local bassist Mark Brydon at a party and the duo formed Moloko. The band became a huge success, releasing global hits ‘Sing It Back’ and ‘The Time Is Now’ before going their separate ways in 2004.

The end of Moloko saw Murphy move to London and embark on a solo career that has produced six inspiring records, including 2020s massively successful Róisín Machine. Her most recent album, last year’s Hit Parade, features Murphy collaborating with Hamburg producer DJ Koze. Peaking at #5 on the UK Album Chart, her highest entry to date, the album was acclaimed by critics and led to the Hit Parade Remixes.

Having recently wowed crowds with a performance at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall that included Murphy backed by her incredible live band and an array of costume changes, expect a live show like no other when Murphy performs in Australia next year.
