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.

Catch the acclaimed artist – whose heart-on-sleeve storytelling has earned him praise from The New York Times and collaborations with the likes of Sara Bareilles, Kesha, Gotye and Demi Lovato – when he lights up Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Tuesday 16 December and Melbourne’s Forum on Thursday 18 December.

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.

Tickets will on sale Monday 3 November (11am AEDT) via frontiertouring.com/benabraham. Frontier Members can get early access via the Frontier Presale, which starts tomorrow: Friday 31 October (10am AEDT) – see website for details.

Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, don’t miss Ben Abraham live this December!
