Overview

Handsome Tours presents Thelma Plum’s 2024 Australia tour this October & November.

Thelma Plum is a Gamilaraay woman, musician, and creator. Raised in Brisbane, she spent many childhood years on her Grandparents’ farm in Delungra, a small country town in rural New South Wales.

A lifelong musician, she shared her story through her debut album, Better in Blak, which explores themes of culture, heritage, love, and pain. With remarkable strength and emotional depth, this album powerfully portrays the experience of a young Aboriginal woman in Australia.

Released in 2019, Better in Blak became one of the year's most successful albums, earning 7 ARIA nominations and producing 3 Platinum and one Gold singles. The title track made history by placing in the top 10 of the Triple J Hottest 100, marking the highest ranking ever for an Indigenous artist at the time, and also won the prestigious Vanda and Young “Song of the Year” award.
