Robert Forster & His Swedish Band

Strawberries is the former Go Between’s most joyous set to date. He is writing some of the best songs of his life ★★★★★

MOJO Magazine When Robert Forster’s ninth solo album, Strawberries , was released last year, Robert was adamant that when he toured the album in Australia, it had to be with the Swedes that played on the record. Knowing their brilliance in the studio and on stage from previous European tours, he was determined to bring this particular show to Australia. To showcase the power and beauty the band brings to the Strawberries songs – the album listed at #7 in MOJO’s Top 75 Albums of 2025 – the setlist stretches back through the best of Forster’s acclaimed solo career and his illustrious time in The Go-Betweens. This is two hours of magic on stage. Forster, cut loose. The three-piece Swedish band is the cream of the Stockholm pop scene: Peter Moren on guitar is the ‘Peter’ of Peter Bjorn and John. Jonas Thurell on bass and Magnus Olsen on drums are stars. Their musicianship and chemistry with Forster is something to behold.
