Ben Salter Announces ‘Life’s Rich Tapestry’ 2026 Australian Tour

The Aussie muso is playing shows across the country throughout February, March and April 2026.

Currently touring Europe, Ben Salter is returning home in 2026 for a three-month run of shows.

Salter’s annual lap of the country comes after the release of Richard Tapestry’s Life’s Rich Tapestry, an album Salter curated using unreleased bits and bobs recorded by his mysterious friend, the one and only Richard Tapestry.

The tour sees Salter perform shows across New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and South Australia, with Salter locked in to play Adelaide’s The Golden Wattle on Friday 13 March, along with two shows still to be confirmed on Saturday 14 March and Sunday 15 March.

The tour also includes a residency at the Merri Creek Tavern in Melbourne.
