 MG Live and Frontier Touring are delighted to welcome back Ireland’s electronic indie pop queen Róisín Murphy down under in March 2025 for her first Australian headline shows in over five years. ​

The Mercury Music Prize nominated avant-garde artist will play The Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane on Tuesday 11 March and Enmore Theatre, Sydney on Thursday 13 March. Murphy will also play Live at the Gardens, Royal Botanical Gardens, Melbourne on Friday 7 March. Tickets via liveatthegardens.com.au.

Róisín Murphy is also confirmed to play WOMADelaide, Adelaide South Australia on Saturday 8 March and WOMAD Aotearoa, New Plymouth, New Zealand on Saturday 15 March. ​

With her indomitable artistic spirit, Róisín Murphy is one of electronic pop’s most ingenious and forward-thinking voices. Murphy first became known in the ’90s as part of the successful pop duo Moloko but has since forged an illustrious and critically acclaimed career as a solo artist. ​

“a showcase of everything impressive about the musician sapped of the excitement that has historically made her work feel so vital” – Pitchfork
“Vastly under-appreciated, she is a creative powerhouse. Innovative, daring and most of all unpredictable.” – The Arts Desk
“[Hit Parade] contains some of Murphy’s most infectious melodies to date” – Slant Magazine
“some of the most euphorically danceable music she’s ever made” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ – The Independent

 

About Róisín Murphy

Over the last three decades, Róisín Murphy has established herself as one of electronic pop’s most ingenious and forward-thinking voices, with a fearless sense of exploration and an indomitable artistic spirit that’s proved both influential and utterly singular.

Murphy dove headlong into the music scene after her family decamped to Manchester when she was just a teen, and while she was there she discovered her own love of fashion through thrifting trips with her mother, who was an antiques dealer by trade.

A chance meeting with local bassist Mark Brydon led the pair to form the celebrated group Moloko, and the first thing she said to him upon meeting—“Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body!“— became the title of the project’s unforgettable 1995 debut. After four albums and a career that included the indelible hit ‘Sing It Back,‘ Moloko split following the release of 2003’s Statues, Murphy moved to London and kickstarted a new era of creativity, huddling with producer Matthew Herbert for the beguiling and glitch-tastic Ruby Blue in 2005. It was an indelible debut record that immediately set one rule in place when it came to her work: Expect the unexpected.

There’s been the lush pop broadstrokes of 2007’s ahead-of-its-time Overpowered, the rubbery electro of 2015’s Hairless Toys, and the hissing-steam exultations of Take Her Up To Monto from 2016 — and, of course, 2020’s utterly massive Róisín Machine, a deeply felt ode to dubby-disco, techno and house and finding her biggest audience yet in the process. With the release of her sixth solo album Hit Parade, a full-length collaboration with wily Hamburg producer DJ Koze, Murphy continues to surf her own musical waves with utter aplomb, as she’s done throughout her entire career. The album was heralded by critics as the best album Murphy has released across an illustrious and critically acclaimed career, which is high praise indeed, and charted at number 5 in the UK Album Chart, her highest entry to date. ​ Early this year, Murphy released a remixes album of the acclaimed record with Hit Parade Remixes.

Murphy is an incomparable live-performer. She was the first singer to play Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and has shared stages at the most prestigious festivals across the world, including headline appearances at Glastonbury West Holts Stage, Homobloc, Coachella and Primavera Sound.

Armed with a show stopping wardrobe and an electrifying live-band, she most recently joined the ranks of star-studded performers to perform at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall, with an expanded band and camera’s recording and relaying her electrifying show in real time.
