With her sophomore album FLAMINGO set for release on July 5, Olympia today unveils a string of high profile tour dates across the globe.
Following critically acclaimed shows across the UK and Europe earlier this year, Olympia returns for the biggest headline tour of her career including the UK, Ireland, Europe and Australia, to deliver the bold, immersive vision that is Flamingo, with a full band in tow.
Flamingo is Olympia’s most personal record to date, full of risk, escalation, and the complex pop unspooling we’ve come to recognise in her work. Packed with insistent earworms the album struts boldy between the artists knack at crafting sophisticated pop tunes able to spring multiple moods, and the sizzle of sonics being pushed ever so into the red.
Her music has been compared to artists as disparate as Joey Santiago (Pixies), Anna Calvi and David Bowie. Olivia Bartley, creative force behind the project, co-produced the upcoming album with long-time collaborator Burke Reid (Courtney Barnett, DMAs). Olympia will be supported by three incredible Australian artists hand picked by the headliner: Jess Ribeiro, Merpire and Emerson Snowe.
Don’t miss Olympia, one of Australia’s most relentlessly original artists performing her highly anticipated new album Flamingo live.
