Ben Lee - Awake Is The New Sleep 20th Anniversary Tour 2025 I am celebrating the 20th anniversary Awake is the New Sleep with an Australian tour for September and October.
I’m not really a nostalgic person, I prefer to keep pushing forward with new projects and ideas, but this feels weirdly right to me. I’ve done so much touring in the last couple of years, averaging about 100 shows a year, and it's become abundantly clear to me that this album Awake was a really vital part of so many people’s lives and emotional journeys.
I’ve chatted to so many people about the wide-eyed exploration and optimism of the record, and how it still seems to find people at the exact right time that they need that kind of energy.
It’s an album that seemed to change a lot of lives, including mine. I’m looking forward to facing that, head on, and exploring what these songs mean to me and the audience today, 20 years on. They still feel potent.
I’m going to play the whole album in full, with a great band behind me, and tell you some stories about how these tunes came to be. We're doing it 2005 style, no backing tracks, no click tracks, no video screens. Just a great band on a stage covered in flowers, singing songs about love and lust and adventure and interconnectivity. It’s gonna be a vibe.
Come along for the ride.

Big love!
Your friend.
Ben
