The tour will kick off in September at Eltham Hotel, and take to Brisbane, Perth, Fremantle, Adelaide, Hobart, Melbourne, Newcastle, Wollongong, and Pambula for Wanderer Festival before finishing up in Sydney in October.

Featuring intimate live performances filled with an array of work spanning the 20+ year career of both their band Gomez and solo work and the odd cover throw in.

As a band, Gomez have toured the world countless times and have amassed a huge loyal fanbase. The critically acclaimed band won a Mercury Music Prize for their 1998 debut album Bring It On 25 years ago, kicking off their huge career which included 11 albums and touring across the globe.

As a duo, Ben and Ian’s joyful and harmonious performance brings together a bit of blues, indie-pop and folk-rock into a music-lovers feast fit for all ears.

Supporting Ben and Ian on their 15-date Australian tour is LA artist BUDDY and the duo’s longtime touring pal who brings his brilliant and beautiful songs filled with lyrical wit and wisdom to the Australian stages.

Featuring intimate live performances filled with an array of work spanning the 20+ year career of both Ben and Ian’s solo work and the music of their iconic band Gomez, audiences may even find themselves singing along to a cover or two.
