Australian singer-songwriter Ben Salter is officially set to bring his music back home in early 2026. He has announced the Life's Rich Tapestry Australian tour. The three-month run has been set to stretch from February through April 2026.
The newly scheduled run will see Ben Salter performing in multiple intimate venues across New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, and Queensland. Notably, the AU tour announcement comes as Salter is still wrapping up his European tour, which includes stops in London and Spain in 2025.
The 2026 tour takes its name from Richard Tapestry's Life's Rich Tapestry. The project was assembled by Ben Salter from unreleased recordings by his collaborator Richard Tapestry.
Ben Salter made an official Facebook post to announce the 2026 tour dates. He captioned:
"Doing a tour next year also. Looking to pick up a few shows in NSW and SA if anyone is inneresseeeeeeeedddd"
Salter started with Brisbane rock outfit Giants of Science in the late 1990s. Gradually, he has become part of multiple acclaimed projects, including The Gin Club, The Wilson Pickers, Hownowmer, and The Young Liberals.
Ben Salter has earned four Queensland Music Awards and performed alongside notable international acts such as Cat Power, Built To Spill, Violent Femmes, and Tim Rogers. With his songwriting, Salter has also done collaborations with artists like Marlon Williams, Vika & Linda Bull, Gareth Liddiard, and Bernard Fanning.
