Conor Oberst is a frequent visitor to Australia, but his upcoming stop Down Under will be a unique and rare experience for fans. The songwriter hailed as “the new Bob Dylan” will be making his Sydney Opera House debut during an intimate and exclusive performance on 27th February 2017.
The mastermind behind beloved and eclectic projects like Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk, and Desaparecidos will be performing his seventh solo record, Ruminations, in full as it was intended to be performed – completely solo, with Oberst playing every instrument and accompanying each with his incredible voice.
“After 23 years of public performance, Conor Oberst’s fierce, raw, risk-taking intensity finally comes to the Opera House,” said Ben Marshall, Head of Contemporary Music at Sydney Opera House. “Conor is an artist of substance and integrity who is clearly compelled to make his art; his impact on independent folk and rock music is immense.”
“The intelligence and honesty he brings to bear in his emotional, personal, sometimes desperate songs have gained him a legion of dedicated admirers and secured him a place as one of the significant songwriters of his generation. It’s a genuine privilege to welcome this intimate, overdue, Australian-exclusive evening with Conor Oberst to the Sydney Opera House.”
Tickets go on sale to the general public 9am Friday, 9th December.
