Aussie fans upset over Sky Ferreira’s late and dark concert performance

Sky Ferreira’s concert at the Sydney Opera House on Sunday night left fans puzzled and frustrated.

The American indie-pop singer, 31, was expected to deliver a memorable performance for the Vivid Festival, featuring songs from her acclaimed 2013 album.

Instead, the event turned into a peculiar spectacle.

The concert was scheduled to begin at 7.30 pm, but as the minutes ticked by and no sign of Ferreira, the audience grew increasingly restless.

More than an hour later, disgruntled fans took to social media to voice their complaints about the delay.

‘Sky Ferreira late by 1 hr 10 mins so far,’ one fan tweeted.

When Ferreira finally made her appearance at 8.50 pm, her presence was barely noticeable.

Footage from the concert showed her as just a shadow on a stage bathed in dim blue light, making it difficult for the audience to see her clearly.

‘Sky Ferreira showed up 80 mins late to her Sydney gig and is performing the whole show in the dark with her back turned to the crowd, who’s surprised?’ another fan tweeted.

Despite the rocky start and unconventional lighting, some fans were still thrilled to see Ferreira live.

‘Sky Ferreira was almost two hours late but it was worth the wait to finally see her live,’ one fan posted to TikTok.

Ferreira’s delayed performance included 16 songs – four fewer than what was initially planned on her setlist, which had been spotted by fans earlier.

This truncation of the setlist added another layer of disappointment for those who had been eagerly anticipating a full show.

Her tour continues with shows in Melbourne on Tuesday and Brisbane on Wednesday.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Sky for comment.
