Barnard Fanning – KINGS PARK

One of Australia’s most celebrated singer-songwriters, Bernard Fanning, is taking his celebration of 20 years of Tea & Sympathy around Australia in February and March 2026, playing all the songs from the album and more.

The tour follows the sold out anniversary show at QPAC in Brisbane where Fanning will perform Tea & Sympathy in full for the first time in twenty years.

Joining Bernard will be his special guests Bob Evans, Sam Cromack (Ball Park Music) and Georgia Mooney (All Our Exes Live in Texas).

When Tea & Sympathy was first released on 31 October 2005, it did more than mark Bernard Fanning’s first step beyond Powderfinger — it became a defining soundtrack for a generation. Australians across the country found themselves united by its honesty and tender strength – the album didn’t just play, it connected. In a time when the country felt uncertain, Tea & Sympathy reminded us of the power of storytelling and of music’s ability to bind us — heart to heart, coast to coast.

Tea & Sympathy debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart on release and went on to collect three ARIA Awards, including the prestigious Album of the Year, and garnered Fanning APRA’s Songwriter of the Year Award in 2006. Featuring tracks like, Wish You Well, which topped the triple j Hottest 100 in 2005, as well as Songbird, Watch Over Me and Thrill is Gone, the album showcased Fanning’s lyrical depth and emotional range, establishing him as a powerhouse solo artist alongside the success of Powderfinger.
