Mika

MIKA’s 9th of July show cemented his figure as a pop icon as he transformed Kew Gardens into Club Calypso, a place where everyone’s welcome, glitter is encouraged and smiles are guaranteed.

Filled with high-pop brilliance and nostalgic hits, this was a tidal wave of energetic, progressive dance songs mixed with goosebump-raising nostalgia

It's been 11 years since Mika was last in Australia, and to be honest that fact still shocks me because the Beirut-born performer has one of the most impressive discographies from the mid 2000's. And on top of that, he's been cohesively releasing strong pop albums that have heard his songwriting getting bolder and more

At an early point in the show, everyone in the stalls raises a sign that reads Weve missed you Mika, reflecting a sentiment that is felt across the balconies.

Last night he was headlining the same stage encouraging the crowd to rock the sleeping mice in the dressing room who where there when he was a child.

He confesses that he’s seen Sunset Boulevard here five times and being on the same planks is making him nervous.
