‘Lizzo has shifted the sound, soul, and spirit of popular music,’ a festival spokesperson said in a statement. 

‘Lizzo makes her Splendour debut armed with her biggest, boldest, and brightest revolution thus far: her hugely adored second full-length offering Special.

‘Bursting with chunky disco-funk beats designed to make you move, Special’s spirited, charismatic anthems are her most adventurous yet.’

The About Damn Time singer first performed in Australia in January 2020 when she brought her first tour around the country and also performed at the FOMO festival.
