Singles Elastic Heart and The Greatest were both top 10 radio hits in this country while her 2014 studio album 1000 Forms of Fear was also gold-selling.

The global pop sensation dazzled audiences with her unique live show at last year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, with TIME calling the performance "one of the festival's best".

Sia's performances will feature hit songs from her 2016 chart-topping and gold-selling album This is Acting, alongside iconic anthems from her previous releases; Chandelier, Elastic Heart, Clap Your Hands and more.
