“The crowd in Adelaide is amazing and I can’t wait to sing in front of them again.”

Vanessa will join several acts on stage including MARLON X RULLA, Stace Cadet, DJ Mell Hall, MORGEN + TINK and Ruby Chew.

It comes after Vanessa said her refusal to act on stage was at the expense of her music career in Europe.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph in March, the singer revealed she always insisted on performing live.

“When I went around Europe at the time there were so many shows being mimed and I refused to do it. It was a nightmare for her and I was the difficult singer who wanted to sing live,” she said.

“It’s not so common now; people are expected to sing live or there is a weird vibe.”

Vanessa rose to fame with her 1999 breakout hit Have a Look, but it was the follow-up single Absolutely Everybody that made her a star.

The catchy anthem reached the top 10, went double platinum and became the longest charting Australian single by an Australian female artist.

Internationally, it made the top 10 in several European countries including the UK and Germany.
