About this concert
Following on from a huge touring schedule with the release of Flamingo, Olympia was all set to spend this year playing across Europe, however as with us all, 2020 had different plans.
Instead Olympia has spent 2020 in the studio developing new work that showcases yet another dimension to the artists’ critically acclaimed art-rock releases Flamingo and Self Talk.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience Australia’s ‘local guitar bully and counter-culture connoisseur’ (Herald Sun) up close and personal within the intimate setting of the Vanguard Theatre (Syd) & in the iconic open-air of the Gasometer Hotel (Melb).
Olympia’s writing moves between deeply personal introspection to observations of the suburban pysche. Performing favourites from Self Talk, Flamingo and exclusively previewing some of the new work stripped back, this is a rare insight behind the mic at Olympia's unique musical output. Olympia – in song and conversation is an opportunity to be invited into the world of the artist and experience the work within a fresh context.
Up close and personal, these are reduced capacity shows. Tickets will sell out fast.
Very special guests to be announced soon.

Olympia shreds like a metal head and sings like an angel. The old songs rocked and new ones I hadn’t heard yet were brilliant.

Olympia Biography
Olympia, Australia’s ‘local guitar bully and counter-culture connoisseur’, Herald Sun
One of Australia’s most relentlessly original artists, Olympia has released two studio albums to international critical acclaim including Flamingo (2019) and Self Talk (2016), an album that was nominated for an ARIA award, shortlisted in the Australian Music Prize and selected as Triple J feature album.
‘Flamingo’ is pure force. Exploring addiction, the album soared as guitar-fronted art-rock, studded with the artists signature melodies leading Clash (UK) to describe the artist “in perfect control of her art”. ‘Flamingo’ scored huge international success including high radio circulation on Radio X (UK), BBC1 (UK), Flux FM (GR), Double J (AUS), and headline tours across Europe and the UK.
Recent tours have included Anna Calvi, Julia Jacklin, Garbage and Fred Armisen drawing critical comparisons to Joey Santiago (Pixies) and David Bowie.
Fresh off a recent Australian tour celebrating the anniversary of Carole King’s, Tapestry. Olivia Bartley, creative force behind Olympia, also joins the onstage outfits as part of Something for Kate, Blake Scott (The Peep Tempel) and Paul Dempsey Band.
