Lyric Previews Vivid Sydney Performance with Mallrat

festival-fair · 2026-05-12

Gold Coast/Yugambeh Country musician Lyric discusses life on tour ahead of her free performance with Mallrat at Vivid's Tumbalong Nights on May 22 in Sydney/Warrane. Lyric, who opened for Mallrat at Miami Marketta in late 2023, recalls the support she received early in her career. She cites hometown shows as her favorite due to family and friends attending, and insists on a fruit platter with strawberries and raspberries on her rider. After shows, she debriefs with her band. Her wildest tour experience involved a canceled flight before a Sydney headline show, forcing a last-minute car swap and flight rebooking to arrive just in time for soundcheck. She would like Perth/Boorloo musician Mariae Cassandra to support her show. Lyric also hopes to catch Matt Corby and Gretta Ray at Vivid Sydney on June 13.
