We welcome Beans on Toast back – this time, for an intimate, seated show at St Michael’s!

Beans on Toast returns in February 2027 for a special run of intimate, seated shows celebrating his new album The Great Unravelling. Recorded on the banks of the Huon River in Tasmania, the album is a soul-searching collection of songs exploring everything from distant galaxies to the magic of everyday life.

These up-close and personal shows will see Beans perform songs from the new record alongside a handpicked selection from his expansive back catalogue. Expect an intimate, spontaneous and one-of-a-kind evening of songs, stories and everything in between.

‘Perhaps the defining voice of a generation’ – Louder Than War

‘The absolute finest chronicler of humankind’ – Maximum Volume

‘A travelling troubadour for the ages’ – Three Songs and Out
