Jamie Lidell (LIVE with 5 piece band)
The Forum Sydney, NSW
$55 + bf
Mad Racket is proud to present Jamie Lidell performing live with his band in his only non-Festival appearance in Sydney.
Since the phenomenal success of Multiply, Jamie's unique sound has turned heads around the globe, and his most recent album, Jim, cemented his position as a leading light of modern soul and pop. Using a unique fusion of technology and genuine live performance, Jamie manages to cross musical lines with ease, simultaneously appealing to the futurist and the reminiscent music lover. His live performances, teetering on the brink of chaos, bring the musical process to front and centre as few performers can. And then theres his voice
The past few years have been a productive whirl for Jamie, during which he has honed his live show into a five-piece band and produced another stunning album. Dont miss this opportunity to catch one of the music worlds fastest rising stars, fresh from a European tour supporting Sir Elton John (yes, that one!) in his only Sydney headline show.
Support by Mad Racket DJs Jimmi James, Ken Cloud, Zootie and Simon Caldwell and very special guests.
