One of pop culture’s most influential and lauded fashion icons and music superstars will perform exclusively for Australian audiences during Modulations at Carriageworks, as part of Vivid Sydney, the world’s largest festival of light, music and ideas.

Jones, whose unparalleled four-decade career spans everything from art, film, and photography, to fashion and music, will perform for two nights only on Sunday, 31st May and Monday, 1st June. These will be Jones’ only Australian appearances and her first Sydney visit since 2011.

“This year’s Vivid Sydney program continues to expand and attract international stars and Grace Jones’ two Australian-exclusive performances are set to be another standout of the festival’s music program, said NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres.

“After the huge success of the inaugural Modulations program in 2014 where audiences were treated to intimate performances from iconic pop duo the Pet Shop Boys, Modulations has raised the bar once again and I have no doubt tickets to Grace Jones will be in a high demand.”

“Grounded in music but crossing into art, design and food, Modulations is designed to celebrate contemporary arts and creativity across multiple art forms,” said Carriageworks Director Lisa Havilah. “Grace Jones is the perfect artist to headline our second Modulations program.”

“Jones is the quintessential cross-disciplinary artist, having worked in film, music, art and design; she has collaborated with countless world-renowned artists. She is one of the original female music industry pioneers and a true cultural innovator of our generation.”

Meanwhile, with Jones as the centrepiece, Modulations is set to return this year with an expanded program set across two jam-packed weekends promising six days of exclusive music performances, contemporary ideas, and innovative food experiences. Find more info via the Vivid Sydney website.
