Two of modern worship music’s most distinctive voices, Aodhán King and Benjamin William Hastings, are joining forces for the Happy To Be Here Tour, a co-headlining run set to deliver an intimate and powerful live music experience across select cities this summer.

Known for their respective roles in Hillsong UNITED and Hillsong Young & Free, both artists have built influential solo careers defined by honest songwriting, emotional depth, and a commitment to faith-centered storytelling that resonates far beyond the church space.

The upcoming tour supports their collaborative project, Happy To Be Here, marking a new creative chapter for the two artists as they step into a shared space on stage. The shows will feature brand-new music alongside fan favorites that have shaped their individual careers, offering audiences a rare, up-close experience of vulnerability, joy, and communal worship.

“We’ve always loved creating together, so getting to come back and make this album felt really special,” said King. “Now being able to take these songs on the road together honestly just feels like the natural next step. We’re really excited to share these nights with people.”

“Honestly I can’t believe this is actually happening,” added Hastings. “We’ve dreamt about it for a long time but to finally see all these cities with dates beside them and to imagine all of you in the room, I already know it’s a God thing and it hasn’t even started yet.”

Rather than a traditional tour format, the Happy To Be Here Tour is designed as a shared night of storytelling and song, reflecting the friendship and creative synergy between Hastings and King.
