The undisputed Queen of Neo-Soul returns.

After 12 years away, Erykah Badu makes her long-awaited return to Australia, bringing one of the most influential live performances in contemporary music to Sydney.

A five-time GRAMMY® Award winner and global cultural icon, Badu reshaped modern R&B through genre-defining albums Baduizm, Mama’s Gun and New Amerykah. Blending soul, jazz, funk and hip hop with spiritual and socially conscious themes, her work remains foundational to modern Black music culture.

Emerging in the 1990s alongside D’Angelo and Maxwell, Badvu became the defining voice of the neo-soul movement. A visionary artist whose influence spans music, fashion, film and activism, she stands as one of the most enduring creative forces of her generation.

Renowned for her deeply intuitive, improvisational and emotionally resonant live performances, this is a rare opportunity to witness one of the most important artists of the last 30 years – live, uncompromising and deeply human.
