VENUE: Palais Theatre Lower Esplanade, St. Kilda, Melbourne, Australia 3182

GRAMMY® award winning artist Erykah Badu is touching down in Australia this summer in what is sure to be the hottest ticket of the season.

Forging her own path in soul music and almost single-handedly directing the genre since the ’97 debut Baduizm, Badu’s releases have always demanded critics attention, whilst her live shows incite rapturous engagement from audiences as she bursts through hits like On & On, Love Of My Life, Apple Tree, Tyrone, Bag Lady, Window Seat and more.

Her latest release New Amerykah Part II (Return Of The Ankh) further pushed the boundaries of contemporary soul music, enlisting the work of previous collaborators James Poyser and Ahmir ?uestlove Thompson (The Roots, Al Green) as well as cutting edge producers like Madlib, Sa Ra Creative Partners, Karriem Riggins (Diana Krall) and the late J Dilla.

Erykah Badu will perform live for the very first time in her own headline shows in Australia, offering fans their first taste to see her in concert in exquisite and historic venues such as Sydney Opera House, Melbourne’s Palais Theatre and Perth’s picturesque Kings Park. For the latter two events, she will be joined by New Zealand’s Fat Freddy’s Drop.

The enigmatic seven piece soul act have won the world over with their hypnotic live performances which translate their impeccable records to a live setting in a similarly dynamic fashion to Badu’s razor sharp band. Their last album ‘Live At Roundhouse London’ showcased the incredible live show, which takes in highlights from their albums ‘Based On A True Story’ and ‘Dr Boondigga and the Big BW’ and Australian audiences may be in for a taste of new material, which is hinted at a mid 2012 release.

Do not miss the captivating Erykah Badu as she tours across Australia for the first time in her own headline shows, joined by Fat Freddy’s Drop in Melbourne and Perth for some of the most musically exquisite engagements of the summer programme.

"Quite Simply, it's the best bass-centric festival on the planet at the moment" - Resident Advisor

Hello Hello!

Well, Outlook 2011 is now well and truly done & dusted (Cough splutter). . . . Where do we start? We'd like to thank everyone who worked, partied and performed at this years event. What a year Outlook 2011 was? We're now in our fourth year and we've really started to mature as a festival. Over 600 acts across 13 different arenas, 24 boat parties, 10,000 wonderful festival goers and a better set of sound systems than you will find at any other festival of our size in the world.

We had a few growing problems this year which we are keen to iron out for 2012, but we're certain that next year will be even better than this years was.

We're not going to grow next year, we're going to concentrate on making everything better than it was this year, we know exactly what needs improving for next year and we have taken all constructive feedback on board. Thank you to those people who took time to give us their feedback.

Following a couple of weeks of recuperation in the misty hills of north wales, wearing Yak's wool and listening to nothing but Pan Pipe Moods, Enya and Deep Forest we are just about ready to start another marathon towards the worlds biggest onslaught of bass music. Outlook 2012 will come around faster than you think.

We're just starting to put our wish list of artists together for 2012 and we can guarantee that next year will have the same depth and pedigree of artists that made this years festival the most exciting line-up on the planet for any bass music enthusiast.

Early Bird Tickets for Outlook 2012 are on sale this weekend, you can find more news relating to this below.

You can also see below all the photo galleries we have as well as links to some of the press we have been receiving since we left Croatia.

More news soon cometh, love and happiness from the Outlook Crew.
