Camille O'Sullivan – Loveletter
Honoring Irish music icons
In memory of her dear departed friends, Sinead O’Connor and The Pogues’ Shane MacGowan, and other legends that inspire, fan favourite Camille O’Sullivan returns to the Festival with this radiant new concert. Camille’s reputation for stunning live shows and thrilling interpretations of great music is immense around the world, and here she’ll sing from the heart and soul — and in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day — to honour her fellow Irish music icons, along with songs by the late Leonard Cohen, David Bowie and more. Loveletter also marks Camille’s first Auckland Town Hall performance, a venue of breathtaking acoustics tailormade for her most dramatic song renditions.

Acclaimed as a singer on Later with Jools Holland and in the Olivier Award-winning cabaret classic La Clique, Camille has headlined the likes of Sydney Opera House and London’s Royal Albert Hall. She has also toured with The Pogues. She’s performed at the Auckland Live Cabaret Season and her most recent AAF show, a tribute the songs of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, was at The Civic in 2019.
