<p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Heading down under for the first time in 14 years&nbsp;</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">Acclaimed singer/songwriter Ben Kweller is making his long-awaited return to Australia in 2026.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">A pillar of the underground indie scene, Kweller will be performing much-loved songs from his discography, as well as tracks from his profoundly moving 2023 release Cover the Mirrors.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">This will be the first time in 14 years Aussie fans will have the chance to experience Kweller&rsquo;s tapestry of songs in live form, set to play gems from albums like Sha Sha (2002), On My Way (2004), Changing Horses (2009) and Go Fly A Kite (2012).&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Kweller will also perform songs from his achingly raw 2023 record Cover The Mirrors, one of his most emotionallycharged albums to date with Flood Magazine calling it &ldquo;touching and profound&rdquo;. Written after the unimaginable loss of his 16-year old son Dorian, who passed away in a freak car accident, the 12-track album explores themes of grief and soulsearching and features guest performances by longtime friends and collaborators including Waxahatchee, MJ Lenderman, The Flaming Lips and Jason Schwartzman&rsquo;s highly acclaimed mid-aughts musical project Coconut Records. Raised outside of Dallas, Texas, Ben Kweller first landed on the scene in the late-90s with his grunge band Radish. Cementing himself as one of the defining voices of early-2000s rock with his solo debut release Sha Sha, he further solidified his reputation as a gifted writer on albums On My Way (2004) and Changing Horses (2009) before earning a GRAMMY&reg; nomination for 2012 release Go Fly A Kite.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Bringing his sincerity and songcraft to stages across the globe, Kweller has gone on to tour with world-class acts including Bright Eyes, Kings of Leon, Death Cab for Cutie, Bleachers, John Mayer, My Morning Jacket, The Strokes, and Ed Sheeran. Kweller&rsquo;s influence remains today with Jack Antanoff stating &ldquo;Ben Kweller is one of the great American songwriters.&rdquo; </p>
