Nonbinary Artist G Flip’s New Video in the Blue Mountains
We’ve seen them perform at Sydney WorldPride; well, now G Flip takes their drum kit to new heights to showcase a popular tourist attraction in her home country of Australia!
Sydney’s World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains has become the ultimate stage with nonbinary music artist G Flip performing atop a cable car 270 meters (885 feet) above its soaring sandstone ridges and Eucalyptus forests.
Looking every part the rockstar for the world-first event, G Flip, who is an Australian drummer-turned-singer, songwriter, and producer, delivered an epic performance with their full drum kit set up on the top of Scenic World’s Skyway cable car.
Against a spectacular backdrop that included the iconic rock formation the Three Sisters, G Flip performed their new single, The Worst Person Alive. Signature beats and vocals echoed across the breathtaking ravines and valleys below, as they connected with the sounds of nature just after the sun rose.
G Flip said the experience was one of the most memorable performances they had done to date. “This is the coolest performance I’ve ever done in my life. Drumming 270 meters above the air in the Blue Mountains is something I never thought I’d do – it was so awesome; I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face!”
They mentioned how the Blue Mountains are one of the most beautiful places in Australia. I’ve always seen photos of it and people have always talked about it. I know of musicians who’ve come from around this area. So they always talk about it. And I’ve always seen the Skyway online and seen how high and how epic it looks. I’m always down for a challenge,” they added.

The awe-inspiring, adrenaline-infused performance was delivered on the eve of the highly anticipated launch of G Flip’s second studio album, DRUMMER, scheduled to drop Friday, August 11!
Destination NSW CEO Steve Cox believes this initiative was artistic brilliance and natural wonders at its best. “These are exactly the types of collaborations that help to form NSW’s unique visitor experiences – a picturesque World Heritage-listed site intertwined with one of Australia’s edgiest and top-performing artists; it really doesn’t get much better than that,” said Cox.
He added, “The beautiful Blue Mountains are a must-see destination for anyone traveling to Australia and we couldn’t be more excited to have such a talented artist like G Flip put NSW on the global stage, showcasing the unique experiences that will entice even more visitors to come and explore Sydney and NSW for themselves.”
It was an honor to host G Flip for such an exciting activation, according to Anthea Hammon, Managing Director of Scenic World. Hammon said, “Scenic World is especially proud of our unique connection to the natural wonders around us and having a homegrown Aussie star like G Flip celebrate this special place with a global audience.”
DRUMMER will be released Friday, August 11 by Future Classic. G Flip will perform at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Thursday, September 7, and Friday, September 8, and at Newcastle’s Bar On The Hill in Newcastle on Saturday, September 9. For tickets visit https://www.frontiertouring.com/gflip.
