Robert Forster has announced a belated album tour of Australia
The Go-Betweens legend will play shows in Hobart, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Brisbane this September (see full dates below), in support of 2025 album Strawberries.
Tickets to the tour go on sale to the general public on Monday, June 15th at 12pm local time. The Frontier Member pre-sale begins on Friday, June 12th at 12pm local time.
Forster will be ably supported by a three-piece Swedish band composed of Stockholm pop royalty: Peter Moren (of Peter, Bjorn and John fame) on guitar, Jonas Thurell on bass, and Magnus Olsen on drums.
The trio of Swedes performed on Forster’s latest album, and he was adamant that they’d join him when he next toured Australia.
Strawberries was well-received by fans and critics alike, with MOJO naming it one of its 75 best albums of 2025.
“Strawberries is the former Go Between’s most joyous set to date. He is writing some of the best songs of his life,” the publication also wrote in a positive five-star review.

Rolling Stone AU/NZ was at the Brisbane show on Forster’s 2023 Australian tour.
“As if to spite the brilliance of The Go-Betweens, he has seemingly ‘gotten better’. He’s always written fine songs, but his guitar playing skills have jumped markedly and he now commands a stage in a statesman-like manner reminiscent of Guy Clark,” the publication’s reviewer wrote of the Aussie musician.
