Ben Harper makes a great return to Sardinia.
The Californian singer-songwriter will be in concert at the Cagliari Fair on July 1st 2026 together with "The Innocents Criminals" , the historic band that accompanies him on stage in his live shows.

Eighteen albums in total have captivated audiences worldwide , selling over 16 million records, in an unmistakable style that blends diverse genres: from pop, reggae, and soul to blues, rock, funk, and folk.
In 2023, he was nominated for the new Grammy Special Merit Award in the Best Song For Social Change category, while he has eight nominations in the categories of Best Gospel Performance, Best Pop Instrumental Performance, Best Music Film, Best Traditional Blues Album and most recently, in 2023, for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
Harper has written songs for Mavis Staples, Natalie Maines, Tom Morello, Taj Mahal, Rickie Lee Jones, Charlie Musselwhite, Solomon Burke, and The Blind Boys of Alabama. His studio collaborations include Harry Styles, Keith Richards, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, John Lee Hooker, Ringo Starr, and Ziggy Marley, to name a few, as well as a number of live performances with Pearl Jam, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Harry Styles, and many others.
