Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – J-Pop princess, fashion blogger and model – is headed Down Under for the very first time.

The quirky, much-adored Japanese idol is embarking on her Nanda Collection Tour, which also includes North America, UK, Europe, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and Thailand, to celebrate the release of her second album Nanda Collection. Often compared to artists like Björk and Lady Gaga, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is lauded for being in control of her own sound and aesthetic, unlike most J-Pop stars. She is unusual also for her unprecedented popularity in Western markets, thanks largely to her hugely popular Tumblr and Instagram channels, which boast a cumulative 53 million views worldwide.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu will be playing one high-energy, blindingly gorgeous show at the Metro Theatre in Sydney on Sunday March 23.
