One half of UK-based, alternative dance-pop duo Moloko, Róisín Murphy will return to Australia for her first headline shows in ten years.
On the back of her set at Meredith Music Festival, Murphy will then play shows in Melbourne and Sydney this December.
Murphy has received widespread critical acclaim across her four solo studio albums and is known for hit singles Sing It Back, The Time Is Now, Pure Pleasure Seeker and Indigo with Moloko.
Since launching her solo career following the disbandment of Moloko in 2002, Murphy has revealed her wonderfully idiosyncratic music, fashion and performance sensibilities.
Across her four solo studio albums, Ruby Blue, Overpowered, Hairless Toys and Take Her Up To Monto, she has received widespread critical acclaim including nominations for the Mercury Music Prize and Ireland’s Choice Music Prize.

She has also released a host of hit singles including ‘Overpowered’, ‘Ramalama (Bang Bang)’, ‘Dear Miami’, ‘You Know Me Better’ and has collaborated with a number of musical influences including Matthew Herbert, Maurice Fulton and DJ Koze.
For real, this woman’s back catalogue of bops is not to be mistaken.
Murphy will play The Forum in Melbourne on 15 December and Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on 17 December.
We can’t believe it has been ten incredibly long years since her last arrival on our shores.
And she hasn’t given up the game just yet either, releasing brand new song ‘Incapable’ just a few weeks ago.

‘Incapable’ becomes something like a dance-floor meditation, a world of swirling synths and pulsing four-to-the-floor beats. It’s the perfect song to make for this summer’s unexpected club hit.’ – Esquire
‘Deep house meets diva house in Murphy’s eight-minute existential rapture about whether you need to have lost love to appreciate it.’ – The Guardian
