Rarely does one encounter an aura like Alison Wonderland‘s; both on and off stage, the Sydney-born musician is a source of galvanizing energy. On July 30, Wonderland lit the fuse of said energy, igniting sentiments of community, love, and fiery rage as she gracefully dominated the main stage at HARD Summer 2022. Wonderland performed songs from her May LP, Loner, incorporated fan-favorite throwbacks, pulled sounds from fellow dance/electronic tastemakers, and even debuted a brand new Whyte Fang ID during her headlining set at the Insomniac festival. With shows spanning mid-November, Wonderland is now gearing up for a range of North American tour dates. Following appearances at Breakaway Music Festival and Life Is Beautiful in August and September, respectively, Wonderland—alongside Valentino Khan, Jon Casey, and others—will return to Morrison, Colorado’s world-renowned Red Rocks Amphitheater on October 7 to host 2022’s highly anticipated rendition of Temple of Wonderland.Prior to her main stage set, Alison Wonderland sat down with Dancing Astronaut in San Bernardino, California, for an on-site interview at HARD Summer. The “Something Real” singer touched on her latest album, her highly anticipated headlining show at Red Rocks, and her recent effort to raise money alongside The Brigid Alliance, a non-profit travel fund dedicated to facilitating reproductive care for those affected by the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Sign up to be notified when Alison Wonderland’s “Pro Choice Tee” will be restocked here, purchase tickets to Temple of Wonderland here, and read the exclusive Q&A below.
