Tash Sultana Returns to Sydney After Six-Year Wait, Live at The Enmore Theatre

Once the lights dim at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, the buzz is palpable as the crowd eagerly awaits Tash Sultana’s return after a six-year absence from the city. Kicking off the night, Ben Swissa sets the tone with his smooth vocals and stripped-back productions, creating a calm and captivating atmosphere. Swissa’s performance acts as a prelude to the evening’s main event, laying the groundwork for what’s to come.

In contrast to Swissa’s mellow opening, Perth’s South Summit bursts onto the stage with their indie, reggae, and alt-rock fusion, immediately energizing the room. Their infectious grooves and storytelling captivate the audience, setting the stage for Tash Sultana’s grand entrance. As the lights drop and Sultana takes the stage, the atmosphere shifts once again.

Sultana’s one-person show is a whirlwind of loops, beats, and powerful riffs that engulf the theatre in a wall of sound uniquely their own. While older tracks are transformed into anthems, the new songs from their album “Return To The Roots” convey a sense of raw urgency and authenticity. Sultana’s five-octave voice and musical prowess leave a lasting impact, deepening the connection with their audience over the six-year hiatus.

The Enmore Theatre becomes a vessel for the night’s musical journey, as Sultana’s performance resonates with a sense of unity and catharsis among the audience. The collective energy in the room is palpable as the music reverberates through the space, creating an unforgettable experience for all in attendance.

From the soulful beginnings of Ben Swissa to the energetic grooves of South Summit, and culminating in Tash Sultana’s electrifying performance, the night at the Enmore Theatre proves to be a triumphant return for the artist after years away from the Sydney stage. The anticipation, the raw emotion, and the sheer musical talent on display make for a night to remember for fans and newcomers alike.
