Boy & Bear swiftly catapulted onto the world stage with the release of their double-platinum debut album Moonfire, which went on to receive five coveted ARIA awards. Their follow-ups, Harlequin Dream and Limit of Love, both charted at #1, with Harlequin Dream also achieving Platinum sales status. Over a decade into their career, the band has built a legacy on genuine songwriting and a uniquely compelling live show, boasting five consecutive top 10 albums and over half-a-billion streams worldwide.
In December 2025, Boy & Bear released their highly anticipated 6th studio album, Tripping Over Time. The album was met with immediate acclaim, debuting at #1 on the ARIA Australian Album Charts and reaffirming their status as one of the country’s premier musical exports. To celebrate this milestone, the band recently performed their biggest headline show to date at the iconic Sydney Opera House. Playing to a captivated audience on the spectacular Forecourt, the performance was a career-defining moment that highlighted the band’s evolution and enduring connection with their fans.
With a new #1 album in hand, Boy & Bear are set for a massive year of touring in 2026. They are about to embark on an extensive international run, including a major UK, European, and Canadian tour, before returning home for a highly anticipated Australian leg. Blending their classic hits with the sophisticated new sounds of Tripping Over Time, Boy & Bear continue to prove why they remain one of Australia’s most outstanding live acts.

A festival where everyone belongs.
