John Williamson

Approximate Running Times: Doors - 6:00pm Set 1 - 7:00pm Interval - 8:00pm Set 2 - 8:20pm Finish - 9:30pm John Williamson will return to Anita's Theatre for one night only on Friday 1st May 2026. His first hit, 'Old Man Emu' is still as popular today. It resulted in a recording contract and a #1 hit that stayed number one for 5 weeks. Since that young age of 24, John has traversed this country for 55 years from the tip of Cape York to the windy shores of Tasmania, from Newcastle to Perth and everything in between. His live concerts take the audience on a journey across this vast land, moving deftly between larrikin humour and touching pathos. 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', he touches his audience's hearts, gives them hope and lingers in their memories.
