Yves Tumor

Yves Tumor finally make their Australian debut, giving audiences the chance to see one of the most explosive performers in contemporary music deliver a boundary-pushing set at Carriageworks on Monday June 10th, 2024, as part of the Vivid Music program.

Praised by The New Yorker as "unmissable," Yves Tumor's work has been compared to icons like Prince and Grace Jones. Their ability to shift, alter, and play with artistic boundaries makes them a truly unique voice in contemporary art and culture.

Turning to music at age 16 as an outlet away from “dull, conservative surroundings”, the American experimental musician is a multi-instrumentalist pushing limits and subverting expectations. Yves Tumor effortlessly bends myriad genres through their music, merging art pop and rock with neo-psychedelia. With deep, introspective writing paired with sounds that rapidly shift and flow to create ecstatic fusions, Tumor’s albums have received critical acclaim, being described as “audacious”, “spellbinding art rock” and “romantic, corporeal, gothy”. 

Touring with music superstars like Nine Inch Nails and Florence + The Machine, and joining lineups for top-tier festivals like Coachella, Primavera Sounds and Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Tumor’s gigs always have the potential to surprise.

Tumor promises a visceral, transformative experience. Don’t miss your chance to witness this transcendent performance live.
