Switched On: SAFIA

When

Thursday 3 April from 7:30pm to 10pm

Cost

Standard: $61

Canberra trio SAFIA present their ambitious new show ‘Live at First Light - In Concert’. For the first time, SAFIA will perform songs across their entire catalogue reimagined with live strings at the iconic City Recital Hall in Sydney. 

In a one-night only event, the concert will feature a bespoke stage design and take listeners on expansive journey inspired by their _Live at First Light _performance film set in the Australian wilderness at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve.

SAFIA have always dreamed big. Since they formed in Canberra in 2012 and broke out a year later with the hugely successful single ‘Listen To Soul, Listen To Blues’, the trio of Ben Woolner (vocals/keys), Michael Bell (drums), and Harry Sayers (guitars/keys) have crafted music that stretches imaginations and traverses new sonic landscapes. 

They’ve since amassed over 200 million streams, including two Platinum certified singles ‘Make Them Wheels Roll’ and ‘Embracing Me’, and multiple Gold certified singles ‘Starlight’, ‘My Love Is Gone’, ‘Counting Sheep’, ‘Together, Locked Safely’ and ‘Over You’.

The band has built a revered reputation for their live shows, with sold out shows and festival appearances across Australia, New Zealand, US, UK, Europe and China.

Don’t miss this rare chance to experience SAFIA in the iconic City Recital Hall, presented by Great Southern Nights.
