Alison Wonderland has spent the better part of a decade becoming one of the most recognised figures in electronic music. With over 1.1 billion streams, seven sold-out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and a Coachella headline slot that made history, she has turned a career built in Sydney clubs into something genuinely global. Her live shows are something else: spectacular visuals alongside live vocals and cello, a combination that sets her apart from the festival circuit she has come to define.
Her fourth album Ghost World is her most ambitious work yet. A 14-track collection written during a period of major personal change, it's built around the community she has spent her career cultivating: a space for outsiders, for those who don't quite fit the mould, for anyone seeking refuge and connection in music. As Alison puts it, "I often feel like I'm wandering this earth trying to find my home, both artistically and personally... I want people to know that while you're on that search, there is a place of refuge here for you, with us, in Ghost World."
Alison Wonderland plays The Tivoli for Open Season. For an artist who fills festival fields, this is something rarer.
Open Season is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland's Strategic Partnerships Fund, and by the Australian Government through the Office for the Arts Revive Live program.
