“People of Melbourne and Sydney! You asked – REPEATEDLY – and Roundhouse, CMAT, have listened. Very excited to announce two CMAT full-band headline shows at The Corner and Factory Theatre!” – CMAT
After a whirlwind year of critical acclaim and sold-out performances across the globe, CMAT will bring her full band plus her unique blend of witty storytelling, infectious melodies, captivating stage presence and charming humour to Melbourne and Sydney for two very special performances: Tuesday 14 January at the Corner Hotel, Melbourne and Thursday 16 January at the Factory Theatre, Sydney.
Tickets on sale Wednesday 30 October at 12.00pm AEDT via Oztix (Corner Hotel, Melbourne) and Moshtix (Factory Theatre, Sydney), with Roundhouse Entertainment and MG Live presales beginning Tuesday 29 October at 11.00am AEDT.
“CMAT is one of those rare artists that ticks every single box for me! She straddles all the genres I love, and has classic tunes that are also fresh AF. Her ability to sing the shizz out of funny, sad, sassy, true stories is the mark of a young master … I think she is the pop star we need for right now! I am SO stoked to be joining her for her Melbourne and Sydney shows. We will bring it!!!” – Ella Hooper
The charismatic Irish singer songwriter, CMAT (Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson) has quickly risen to prominence with her unique blend of indie-pop and country, blending the storytelling tradition of classic country with a modern pop sensibility – a sound she describes as “The Nolans making a record with Glen Campbell, which would go on to be covered by Paris Hilton.”
Since her debut, CMAT has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide with her sharp, self-deprecating humour and deeply relatable songs about love, heartbreak and the human condition, with NME dubbing her “Dublin’s answer to Dolly Parton”.
Her 2022 debut, If My Wife New I’d Be Dead, won the Choice Music Award for Irish Album of the Year and her latest album Crazymad, For Me, featuring singles Stay For Something and Where Are Your Kids Tonight, earned her nominations for a Brit Award, the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Best Album and a Mercury Prize nomination for Album of the Year. Her latest standalone single is the instantly catchy Aw, Shoot.
With superstar fans like Elton John and Robbie Williams singing her praises, CMAT is set to captivate audiences at her first-ever Australian shows.
“Every song is like an encore in this fizzing, sad-happy show. – 5 stars” The Guardian
“CMAT will have you in stitches one second and emotionally sucker-punched the next. Inventive, intoxicating, deliciously camp – she continues to transcend all expectations and remains absolutely unmatched.” NME
“CMAT’s joy on stage is utterly contagious … My face aching from smiling so much and my heart satisfied after a musically perfect performance.” Far Out Magazine, UK
“Crazymad, For Me is a great record. All the things I love: bold, eccentric and a touch mad! I love her to bits.” Elton John
ELLA HOOPER burst onto the Australian music scene as a teenager with Killing Heidi and continues to metamorphosise into a captivating solo artist – drawing in audiences with her personal songwriting and powerhouse performances. Her latest album, Small Town Temple, shows off her love of country, Americana and hails a new beginning for the acclaimed artist and solidifies her status as one of Australia’s most beloved musicians.
There ain’t no party like a CMAT party! Renowned for her magnetic personality, endless charisma and distinctive voice, CMAT’s performances are guaranteed to be a highlight of the summer music season. Don’t miss your chance to witness one of the brightest stars on the music scene.
CMAT will also perform at a day on the green across Australia with THE TESKEY BROTHERS, BAND OF HORSES, SIERRA FERRELL and CHARLIE NEEDS BRACES.
