Presented by: Frontier Touring

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.
