G Flip hit the Nova’s Red Room stage for the very first time in their hometown of Melbourne, at the iconic The Gershwin Room at The Espy on Monday, February 12.
The Australian singer/songwriter, drummer and producer performed an exclusive and live 30-minute set in Nova’s Red Room for more than 550 lucky attendees, off the back of winning ‘Best Live Act’ at the 2023 ARIA Awards.
Ahead of the one-off gig, G Flip said, “I’m stoked to be playing live in Nova’s Red Room! The Espy is where I played my first gig and was my favourite venue growing up so it will be a really fun show. Thanks NOVA for having me and can’t wait to see you there!”
The Espy is particularly significant for G Flip, as it was the first official live music venue they performed at and holds a nostalgic place in their heart.
Brendan Taylor, Group Programming Director for the Nova Network, said G Flip’s debut Nova’s Red Room performance is a testament to the calibre of Australian artists coming through the industry.
“We’re really excited to announce G Flip Live in Nova’s Red Room in Melbourne. Nova’s Red Room is an incredible opportunity for fans to get up close with the world’s biggest artists and we particularly love it when those artists are home grown superstars like G. It’s been amazing to witness the rise of their career and we can’t wait to see them perform in front of the iconic Red Room neon sign.”
Tim Blackwell, co-host of the Nova Network’s Drive show Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel, hosted the exclusive 18+ event, which included the song on everyone’s lips at the moment, ‘The Worst Person Alive’ from G Flip’s sophomore album, DRUMMER.
DRUMMER cemented the Aussie performer’s status as a formidable force when it shot to #1 on the ARIA charts and propelled G to their largest sold-out Australian tour and first US headline tour. The album received six ARIA Award nominations and two wins at the 2023 awards.
G Flip grew up in Melbourne and is an avid Collingwood supporter, making this one very special Nova’s Red Room event in the heart of Melbourne – and the first Nova’s Red Roomevent in the city for 2024.
