Meg Washington: Gem

When

Friday 7 November from 8pm to 10:30pm

Cost

Standard: $59.00

Prepare for an electrifying musical experience as Meg Washington – four-time ARIA Award-winning singer-songwriter, masterful storyteller, and the voice of Calypso on Bluey – premieres her brand-new, genre-bending album GEM in a special Sydney performance this spring. Joined by a full band, this soulful performance will showcase the full breadth of Washington’s artistry.

GEM is Washington’s first album of original material in five years – an intimate, future-facing record created in collaboration with producer Ben Edgar and released independently via her own Batflowers Records. She’s called it GEM, her name in reverse, insisting on beauty even in the face of darkness. The album explores nature, creativity, and self-determination through shimmering, guitar-spangled arrangements and deeply personal lyricism.

This one-night-only Sydney performance will bring GEM to life alongside beloved fan favourites like How to Tame LionsSkeleton Key and Lazarus Drug. Expect rich, cinematic arrangements and intimate, stripped-back moments woven throughout the set. Audiences will hear powerful renditions of the shimmering single Kidding, the soaring duet Fine (AACTA Award for Best Original Song), and the hypnotic Golden Orb Blues.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering Meg’s magic for the first time, GEM is a rare jewel – don’t miss your chance to see it shine live.
