On the eve of announcing his new solo album (“This One’s For the Old Headz” to be released on his very own Weirder Together Records later this year) Ben Lee returns for a night of romantic anthems, clever wordplay and indie pop classics. A multi-ARIA winning Australian “national treasure” who Rolling Stone recently declared is “just getting started”, a Ben Lee gig always guarantees an evening of pure fun.

Malaika Mfalme is a Tanzanian/Australian singer, songwriter, guitarist, and event producer creating on Gadigal Land (Sydney). In their mother tongue Swahili, their name translates to Angel King. Malaika writes immersive and evoking music that focuses on black love, self-acceptance, grief, and the journey of being loved and sometimes lost. Malaika’s music creates a space focused on healing with a powerful message of kindness, acceptance and reflection vibrating through every one of their sonic outputs. Mfalme’s ink-stained fingers play sweet melodic guitar alongside strikingly smooth vocals layered with a looping pedal; reminding you their name is Angel for a reason.

Malaika’s debut album “Yasmin” is out and streaming now on all platforms
