Grammy Award-winning, Oscar nominated, Lagos, Nigeria-based singer, songwriter, and producer Tems will make her highly anticipated return to Australia with a series of East Coast headline shows this November.
Tems was last in Australia n September 2023 when she performed sold-out headline shows on her debut visit. This year she returns o Melbourne and Sydney, adding a stop in Brisbane for the very first time.
Tems’ Born In The Wild Tour kicks off at Melbourne’sMargaret Court Arena on Saturday 9 November, before heading to Brisbane’s The Fortitude Music Hall on Tuesday 12 November and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion onFriday 15 November.
Tems last month returned with ‘Love Me JeJe’, the first taste of music from her anticipated debut studio album, Born In The Wild, set for release this May. ‘JeJe’ means softly in Nigerian, and the song pays homage to Tems’ childhood and upbringing. Written entirely by Tems and produced by Spax and Guiltybeatz, the song features an interpolation of the Nigerian classic of the same name by Seyi Sodimu.
The song was performed during Tems’ Coachella Music Festival debut in April, a set that was met with rave reviews with Billboard praising the “striking set… backed by a gorgeous outdoor setting on the stage that perfectly matched her warm, powerful voice”, as Wizkid and Justin Bieber dropped in for a surprise rendition of ‘Essence’.
Tems has skyrocketed to stardom since featuring on Wizkid’s 2020 track, ‘Essence’, her instantly recognisable vocals going viral across the world. With Justin Bieber later jumping on the remix of the track, ‘Essence’ became the first Afrobeats song to enter the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and has become an anthemic moment that credits the singer’s rise into popular music.
Performing multiple headline shows and festival sets across Europe in the summer, Tems will land down under just a year on from her last visit in what will be her biggest Australian shows to date. Returning with billions of global streams and multiple accolades and award nominations, Tems’ superstar status is looming.
