Back by popular demand, John Williamson will return to the Princess Theatre for one night only!

2025 will mark his 55th year in the industry. He will also turn eighty. Twenty-five, fifty-five, eighty. From his humble beginnings as the son of a wheat farmer in the small Victorian Mallee town of Quambatook, it’s quite an achievement.

John has traversed this country for fifty-five years from the tip of Cape York to the windy shores of Tasmania, from Newcastle to Perth and everything in between, performing to hundreds of thousands of Australians. He has written and recorded well over 500 songs and has a swag of awards too numerous to list.

His live concerts take the audience on a journey across this vast land. From ‘Cootamundra Wattle’, ‘Cydi’, ‘Three Sons’, ‘A Bushman Can’t Survive’, ‘Rip Rip Woodchip’, ‘Galleries of Pink Galahs’, ‘Raining on the Rock’, ‘Please Don’t Forget Me’ and his calling card, ‘True Blue’.

John’s fans will immediately recognise ‘My Travellin’ Days are Done’, as a line from another favourite song, ‘Chandelier of Stars’. After fifty-five years of travelling, it says it all.

Don’t miss out on seeing this 'True Blue' perform live in 2025, before his ‘Travellin’ Days are Done’.

John will also mark this milestone year with a new album. His 21^st studio album, How Many Songs, will be released on Friday 4^th April via Warner Music. This is the first new album since 2018’s Butcherbird and is available to pre-order here.

New single ‘If You Wanna Be An Aussie’ is released Friday 17 January. It is an inclusive and uplifting call to all Australians to treat everyone with respect and dignity which John cites as the true meaning of ‘the Australian way’.

‘I think we all feel a little worried that we are losing our fair dinkum attitude towards each other here. We are one of the most-free nations in the world and very accepting to newcomers. I wake up every day and feel so lucky to be an Aussie. So why not a song to celebrate and dance to that positive approach?’ – John Williamson
