Ben Folds To Return To Oz In August 2009!

SYDNEY, Australia (Top40 Charts/ Sydney Opera House PR) - '... it was just Ben, a piano and a few spotlights yet he managed not only to entertain with his ridiculously melodic songs and vibrant piano playing, but also gave totally engrossing performances featuring a wit and storytelling ability others just couldn't aspire to.' - Australian Musician Magazine

Sydney Opera House is proud to present Ben Folds for a rare solo performance, in-the-round.

This is the first time Australian fans will hear live new material from his 2008 release Way to Normal (out now through Sony). A legend amongst musicians, Ben continues to impress with his unique fusion of renegade melodies and punk-rock sensibilities.

'Folds never loses track of his pop hooks, even when he's deploying tricky time signatures and Steely Dan-worthy chord progressions.' Rolling Stone Magazine
With 3 new albums under his belt in the last 12 months alone, Ben will have a plethora of new music to share plus many favorites.

Don't miss Ben's highly anticipated return and this very special solo performance. His previous four sell-out concerts at Sydney Opera House in 2006 were awe-inspiring, lauded by fans and critics alike.
There's no doubt this one-off solo performance will elicit a similar reaction.
