John Farnham

Tickets went on sale this morning for John Farnham’s special show at WIN Entertainment Centre in Wollongong on Friday 1st December, with special guest Daryl Braithwaite. The show sold out in record time this morning, and by popular demand, promoters have announced a second show for Saturday 2nd December with special guest to-be-announced. The second show will go on sale this afternoon at midday.
The solo headlined show will see John and his band traverse his greatest hits from the iconic Whispering Jack through his extensive back catalogue.

“I’m thrilled to be returning to Wollongong this December,” John said on the announcement of the shows. “The crowds have always been fantastic in the Illawarra.”
John Farnham certainly needs no introduction to fans. His music is part of the Australian psyche. Revered as one of the best male vocalists – both by fans and fellow musicians – he has had an incredibly versatile career spanning from his debut in 1967 through to today. He won the hearts of Australia and became one of the country’s favourite sons with an incredible string of smash hit albums. His return to the industry in 1986 – the legendary Whispering Jack – was the first album to sell over one million copies in Australia and its chart topping You’re The Voice cemented the honey-toned solo artist as the ‘voice’. 

Over the next several years, John Farnham released hit after hit, including the likes of Pressure Down, Reasons, Touch of Paradise, Age of Reason, Two Strong Hearts, Burn For You, Chain Reaction, Talk of the Town, Angels, Have A Little Faith (In Us) and That’s Freedom to name a few. He also released some incredible renditions of songs he made his own, such as When The War Is Over and One. Since the 1980s, he has been selling out stadiums, always incredibly in demand for his live shows.

In the 1980’s Daryl set out on his own solo career, releasing smash hit singles such as One Summer, As The Days Go By and The Horses to name a few.
