Tash Sultana
South Summit
Ben Swissa
Tash Sultana has kicked off 2025 with undeniable force. Fresh off the release of their Return To The Roots EP, the multi-instrumentalist stormed through a 14-date U.S. tour, reigniting crowds across eight states with their trademark, high-voltage performance. That momentum continued with the recent announcement of their first Latin American headline tour since 2018, and now, Tash is finally coming home.
In thrilling news for Australian fans, Tash has locked in their first Australian headline shows in over six years, hitting Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney this October. Local audiences will get their first taste of Return To The Roots live, alongside the fan favourites that helped shape a global phenomenon.
Joining Tash on the road are two of Australia’s most exciting rising acts — South Summit and Ben Swissa. Hailing from Perth, South Summit have quickly made a name for themselves with their eclectic sound, weaving together indie, alt-rock, and reggae influences with heartfelt storytelling and magnetic stage presence. Meanwhile, Ben Swissa brings his own captivating energy, blending smooth vocals with raw, soulful production that’s seen him emerge as one to watch on the national scene. Together, they’ll set the stage for an unforgettable night of homegrown talent and powerful live music.
Return To The Roots is more than just a title - it’s a creative recalibration. A fierce, unfiltered return to the spontaneity and soul that ignited Tash’s meteoric rise nearly a decade ago. The EP is a reminder of the raw magic that happens when music is made with nothing but passion and purpose.
Tash’s return to the Australian stage this October is more than a tour - it’s a reconnection. A moment to celebrate growth, evolution, and the creative fire that continues to burn at the heart of one of Australia’s most singular artists. With the power of a bold new release behind them and an army of fans ready to welcome them home, Tash Sultana’s East Coast tour promises to be nothing short of electric.
