Grace Jones at The Palace Foreshore
Details
Grace Jones does not simply return. She arrives.
A boundary-breaker and cultural disruptor, Jones has reshaped music, fashion and performance with an audacity that remains unmatched. From the smoky, lawless clubs of '70s New York to the sleek minimalism of Compass Point, she didn't move between genres. She collapsed them. Disco bowed to post-punk; reggae fused with new wave; fashion merged with theatre; and the straight lines of pop culture bent beneath her will. Grace did not follow movements. She created them.
Crowned Disco's Queen in the era of Studio 54, she carved out early classics like "I Need a Man" and her immortal rendition of "La Vie en rose," before redefining the '80s with the avant-garde sophistication of Warm Leatherette, Nightclubbing and Living My Life.
Jones' embrace of surreal costuming and radical self-presentation, amplified through her iconic creative partnership with Jean-Paul Goude, turned every stage appearance into a work of performance art. Grace Jones became the experience: defiant, glamorous, transgressive, sovereign.
Don't miss this rare encounter with a legend who remains fearlessly, defiantly, extraordinarily immortal, at Palace Foreshore on Monday 2 March, 2026.
This is an outdoor event. We can meet in St Kilda at 5pm.
