With dates in Sydney, Melbourne, her hometown of Adelaide, and a highly-anticipated performance at the Vodaphone MTV Australia Awards 2009, the tour is sure to be one of the most exciting of the year!Described as “gritty and unique” by Christina Aguilera and “a beautiful artist” by Katy Perry, Sia has become one of Australia’s most beloved performers since she first rose to prominance as a vocalist for acclaimed UK act Zero7 on their Mercury listed ‘Simple Things’ and Grammy nominated ‘The Garden’. Gaining enormous attention in 2005, when her ballad “Breathe Me” soundtracked the final moments of cult television show Six Feet Under, Sia’s story since has been a rapid rise to success.
