One Mississippi World Tour 2026

Three-time Grammy-nominated blues legend Eric Bibb returns to Australia with his first full-band tour since early 2023, celebrating his groundbreaking new album One Mississippi (out January 2026).

Expect the complete live experience: Bibb’s unmistakable voice and storytelling, backed by a powerhouse trio featuring Staffan Astner on guitar (Celine Dion, Ray Charles), Glen Scott (musical director and bass) and former “forever drummer” for Nina Simone, Paul Robinson. Together, they bring One Mississippi to life in all its soulful, socially conscious and musically adventurous glory. The set blends new material, including the infectious first single “This One Don’t”, with beloved songs from Bibb’s rich catalogue and a few surprises saved for Australian audiences.

Known for concerts that are intimate, passionate and profoundly human, Bibb now expands that warmth into a dynamic, rhythm-filled celebration of peace, justice and unity. Don’t miss one of contemporary blues’ most inspiring artists at the height of his creative powers.

One of the most relevant, leading bluesmen of our time, Eric Bibb continues to evolve and enhance his global reputation as a fiery singer- songwriter with true soul, grounded in the folk/blues tradition but with contemporary sensibilities.

To experience Eric live is to be struck by his sheer humanity and convictions based in the values of the civil rights movement of the sixties. His music works in service of that dream, holding out a hope for a new world. He challenges us to do better, to reach higher, and strive harder. Like Mavis and Pops Staples, he wants to take us there.

“You are what the blues in the new century should be about”
