Blues master and regular visitor to our shores, Eric Bibb, has announced a massive 2026 Australian tour.

The three-time Grammy-nominated blues legend will be joined by his talented band to perform songs from his forthcoming album One Mississippi, out January 30 via Repute Records (pre-order/pre-save here).

Along with cuts from the album, Bibb will play a stack of fan favourites alongside a few surprises.

Bibb’s wife, Ulrika Bibb, will be making a special guest appearance, with his band also featuring Staffan Astner on guitar (Celine Dion, Ray Charles), Glen Scott on bass and keyboard (Grammy-nominated producer of Eric’s recent albums, including One Mississippi) and Paul Robinson on drums (former “forever drummer” for Nina Simone).

The One Mississippi tour sees Bibb perform 17 venues across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, the ACT and Tasmania, with his one SA show coming at The Gov on Tuesday 28 April.

Born into a musical family, Eric Bibb has been performing since a young age. Across a career spanning more than five decades, Bibb has released over 20 solo studio albums, more than ten collaborative albums with the likes of Bert Deivert and Ale Möller, and a handful of live albums, including last year’s Live At the Scala Theatre.

Known for his blues-infused folk offerings, Bibb’s upcoming album One Mississippi was recorded in Sweden and produced by Glen Scott. The album features a stellar cast of international musicians, including UK guitar virtuoso Robbie McIntosh (Paul McCartney, John Mayer), with backing vocals by Shaneeka Simon and Sara Bergkvist Scott and contributions from Janis Ian and Fred Koller.

The album includes the lead single, ‘This One Don’t’, a groovy number co-written by Bibb and Scott that offers audiences of taste of what to expect when Bibb and his band touch down in Australia next year.
