Lizzo reveals 'It's About Damn Time' to head Down Under for a massive triple-date gig-fest
The Grammy winning hitmaker is coming. This is not a drill.
Guess who is finally making their way Down Under once again.
None other than flute playing, booty shaking, self-loving queen Lizzo.
Yep, the American pop singer has her eyes set on swinging by the island nation for a bit this winter.
Well, she will be here anyway to headline 2023's Splendour in the Grass in Byron Bay this July, so why not sprinkle a few tour dates on top?

In a video shared to the singer's Instagram stories, Lizzo announced: "Aussies ... I’m coming to Australia and New Zealand!"
“That’s right, the Special Tour is coming to Australia and New Zealand and I’m so f******excited.
“I missed you guys so much. I can’t wait to see all of you again.”
Lizzo last set foot on Aussie shorts in 2020, playing sold-out concerts at the Sydney Opera House and The Forum in Melbourne.
No biggie.
It's not like they weren't massive, super cool, iconic venues.
Jokes. Bet those concerts were amazing.
Anyway, this time Lizzo will extend her reach across Australia.
The 'Truth Hurts' singer will perform three - yep, three - stadium tours across the country, hitting up the west coast first.
You can catch everyone's favourite flautist at the RAC Arena in Perth, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, and the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
Zimbabwean-Australian singer-songwriter Tkay Maidza will perform as Lizzo's support act.
Meanwhile, fans on social media users were stoked to hear Lizzo's multi-show update.
One user said: "OMG just realised Tkay Maidzais supporting Lizzo on her Aus/ Aotearoa tour. I love this for her."
A second keen bean added: "Does anyone know how much the Lizzo tickets are for the Australian tour?"
And some poor soul commented: "Lizzo would announce an Australian tour the day after I bought an Aunty Donna ticket."
Yikes.
Wonder how that went down with their cup of morning brown.
Oh, and sorry to any Taylor Swift fans who may have done a spit take when they heard 'stadium concert' and 'guess who'.
Don't fret. Your time will come.
