SADE – the LIVE experience in concert
Fresh off a string of spectacular sell-out shows across Australia, the highly acclaimed production SADE: The Live Experience is officially headed to Manly for a strictly limited engagement.
Celebrating the enduring legacy of iconic frontwoman Sade Adu—who has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide—this premium live experience authentically recreates the smooth contours of jazz, soul, and R&B that defined a generation.
The performance features one of Australia’s brightest vocalists, Shikye-Alyce Smith, backed by the powerhouse 8-piece Spicy Margaritas Band. Together, this incredible ensemble brings to life a handpicked songbook spanning Sade’s entire career with stunning precision and passion.
Having packed out premier venues across NSW, the production is primed to deliver its signature high-energy invitation to the capital. Audiences can expect a seamless musical journey through every era of the smooth soul pioneer. The setlist features timeless tracks from the 1984 debut Diamond Life, including “Smooth Operator” and “Your Love is King,” alongside 90s classics like “No Ordinary Love” and “Like a Tattoo“, right through to the infectious rhythms of Lovers Rock.
“More than just a concert, this show celebrates Sade’s distinctive style and her profound influence on soul music,” says the production team. It is a sophisticated, high-energy invitation to get up, come dancin’, and sing along to the tunes that have shaped the repertoire for generations past, present, and future.
