MADAM AMANDA

By Benjamen Judd

If you haven’t heard of Amanda Palmer then you have been living under a rock…or you have been in a coma…or you have been living underground in a nuclear bunker and only just now found out that it never happened and you have finally crawled back up out of the earth. Either way, you’re in for a shock.

One of the music industry’s true mavericks, Amanda Palmer has spent the last ten evenings exploding her brand of sound in the Spiegeltent, bringing mayhem and madness to the Sydney Festival.

A pioneer of punk cabaret, as one half of The Dresden Dolls and in her own right, Palmer’s performance has been a special solo show exclusively for Sydney Festival and this is the last weekend you can catch her live doing her thing.

Fresh from a world tour supporting her critically acclaimed album, Theatre Is Evil, this intimate Spiegeltent concert experience brings you face-to-face with one of today’s most talked about music makers.

The Festival Village is a licensed venue after 4:30pm each day. All minors attending shows or events must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

The Spiegeltent is located in the Festival Village, Hyde Park.
