Ben Howard has officially sold out the Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane dates on his hugely anticipated Australian tour in May 2024. As a result of this overwhelming demand, Secret Sounds is thrilled to add second and final dates in all three locations which will see the powerful British performer bring his storied catalogue to life at Palais Theatre, Melbourne on Sunday 26 May, Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Thursday 30 May and Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane on Saturday 1 June.

These additional dates follow the announcement and sell-out of a second night at Astor Theatre, Perth which quickly sold out shortly after tickets went on sale. Due to this huge response, fans who wish to see one of the UK’s most gripping songwriters and guitarists as he graces Australian shores are encouraged to purchase tickets as soon as they become available from 12pm AEDT today (Thu 1 Feb).

Ben Howard released his triple platinum debut album, Every Kingdom back in 2011. As adept with an acoustic as he is with the electronics that have peppered and punctuated his recordings since that impressive debut, Howard now operates largely in a world and sound of his own making.

Howard released his fifth studio album Is It? in June 2023, marking a new chapter full of highly textured, experimental pop songs that identify another shift of sonics for this acclaimed and most unpredictable of British artists. Is It? followed 2021’s Collections From The Whiteout which debuted at #1 in the UK album chart (Ben’s second chart-topping record after 2014’s I Forget Where We Were).

Is It? was recorded over 10 days in the Le Manoir de Léon studios, nestled between Bordeaux and Biarritz in the South of France. Produced by Bullion (Westerman, Nilüfer Yanya, Orlando Weeks), the ten-song record is a lush and sonically splintered album which captures Ben working through some intense moments resulting in one of his most upbeat and uplifting records in years – and we get to experience it live, along with songs from Ben’s entire celebrated catalogue.

Described by The Times as “spellbinding, transcendental even”, Ben Howard and his expansive band’s intense live show will captivate and mesmerise audiences as they light up stages across the country. Howard’s fierce desire to operate in and out of the shadows make both his music and live shows a rare but vital proposition. Don’t miss it when he comes to a city near you in May 2024.
