Sixto Rodriguez, the long-labouring performer shot to international prominence in the film Searching For Sugar Man, will play his debut Sydney Opera House dates this October.
Rodriguez’s rise from obscurity to fame makes for quite an incredible tale. From 40 years toiling in America, Rodriguez found his market in South Africa, where his anti-Apartheid anthems spoke to multiple generations. Still he remained unknown to much of the outside world until the Academy Award-winning 2012 documentary Searching For Sugar Man, and hasn’t turned back since.
Update: New dates have been added.
Rodriguez will play his ’70s classic Cold Fact and more to the Sydney Opera House on Tuesday October 21 and Thursday October 23. He’ll also play the State Theatre on Tuesday November 4 and Wednesday November 12, with tickets to the final show on sale 10am Wednesday September 17.
