The Jerusalem Post reports that Israeli Sia concertgoers are filing a class action lawsuit against for approximately NIS 8 million (or around $2 million) in “nominal reparations” to attendees.
What makes this case so interesting, however, is that Sia didn’t leave any songs out of the scheduled performance… she simply refrained from adding any unnecessary banter to the show – something to which most music fans have become accustomed.
NME is reporting that Sia left fans in Tel Aviv, Israel, seriously disappointed following an August 11 concert in the city, and now they’re suing her production team for a full refund on the £70 tickets they bought. They also complained that the big screens showed pre-recorded footage rather than the stage, which meant that people at the back couldn’t see.
The complaints appear to be connected to Sia’s trademark performance style; consciously concealing her face at all times, standing at the back of the stage with a curtain fringe obscuring her face; with the lawsuit stating this made the show feel “lacklustre”.
The site revealed that disillusioned concert goers are actually suing Sia’s company because she supposedly only performed for 65 minutes and refused to take off her signature face covering wig.
The singer seemed to address the controversy on Twitter today, acknowledging that her current tour is “abstract” but that every moment is “purely intentional”. The lawsuit is said to have been filed against Sia and Tandi Productions, the company which brought her to Israel.

In the unlikely event Sia does have to pay out on this lawsuit, it shouldn’t hurt her hip pocket too much: this week she marks one month atop the US Billboard Hot 100 with her current single Cheap Thrills, already a multi-platinum hit in Australia and the UK.
