NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — 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. Tickets are on sale now. For tickets and more information, visit tprlive.co.

About Benjamin William Hastings:
Benjamin William Hastings is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter whose journey began in Belfast and expanded across Sydney, Australia, where he became closely connected with Hillsong UNITED. As a key collaborator, Hastings co-wrote some of the most influential worship songs of the last decade, including the globally acclaimed, Platinum-certified “So Will I (100 Billion X),” a top-five hit on Christian radio. A Grammy Award–winning songwriter and artist, Hastings earned his first Grammy nomination and win in 2026, marking a defining milestone in a career shaped by conviction, craft, and global reach. His songwriting catalog includes multiple songs that have reached #1 overall across all genres, including “Hard Fought Hallelujah” and “That’s Who I Praise,” as well as the widely beloved worship anthem “Gratitude.” His work has also been recorded by leading artists and collectives within the global worship movement. Altogether, his songs have contributed to more than 1.5 billion global streams. Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Benjamin continues to establish himself as a compelling solo artist. He is a top-performing artist on AIR1, with songs such as “Feels Like a Blessing,” “That’s the Thing About Praise,” and “Know You Will.” His 2023 single “That’s the Thing About Praise” reached #11 on Christian Airplay, further solidifying his presence as both a songwriter and recording artist. Benjamin’s music is marked by lyrical honesty, spiritual depth, and a rare sense of humanity—songs that feel both intimate and expansive. His album Sold Out, Sincerely reflects that posture, offering a body of work that invites listeners into deeper reflection, worship, and connection with God.
