It’s beginning to look a lot like Ben Abraham! Frontier Touring is delighted to announce the
return of award-winning Melbourne-raised, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter, who brings
his beloved Christmas Special home this December for two unmissable headline shows.
Joined by his full band and a few surprise guests (previous years have featured
appearances from Vance Joy, Gotye and more), Ben’s Christmas Special is split into two
sets: the first showcasing the singer’s own original music – from fan favourites such as
‘Never Been Better’ and ‘If I Didn’t Love You’, to songs from his 2022 album, Friendly Fire –
and the second half a delightfully unpredictable indie ‘carols by candlelight’ spectacular.
A gifted storyteller with a cinematic touch, Ben first captured hearts with his self-released
debut album Sirens – later reissued by indie label Secretly Canadian and hailed by The New
York Times as “a debut of remarkable depth.” The set Ben on a path that would see him co-
write the GRAMMY-nominated hit ‘Praying’ for Kesha and craft songs for artists such as
Demi Lovato and The Chicks. In 2024, Ben released his festive EP Merry Christmas and
Happy Holidays Volume 1, featuring a lush rendition of ‘Let It Snow’ with longtime friend and
collaborator Lily James, alongside a string of sold-out Christmas concerts across New York,
Los Angeles, Melbourne and Sydney.
2025 has been just as busy: alongside releasing new music, including single ‘A Passing
Through’, Ben has spent much of the year on the road across the USA, playing headline
shows and joining friends such as Andy Grammer and Rachel Platten on tour. Now, Ben
returns to spread the cheer once again, bringing his signature mix of soulful storytelling and
charm to Sydney and Melbourne this December.
