John Williamson - The Tour

John's Australian tour will continue in Queensland over the next couple of weeks with performances in Ipswich, Warwick, Chermside and then Twin Towns Services Club in NSW on 1st June. Tickets are available and on sale now.

John Williamson celebrates the 43rd anniversary of the release of his debut single Old Man Emu on 4th June. After such a long and wide-ranging career, it is no surprise that he is able to deliver unforgettable live concert experiences that combine the perfect blend of humour, romance and campfire stories woven together by his unique music. It is easy to understand why he is one of the most in-demand live performers in Australia.

Recently we have added several new gigs for 2013 together with a whole heap of shows for November 2014. John was taken ill earlier this year and some of these latter SA concerts are replacements for those postponed at the time.

Private Air Charter to Birdsville

John Williamson has performed at many spectacular venues but it will be hard to beat the special concert planned for Monday 8th July 2013. At sunset on that day, John and the Big Red Tour will find themselves atop the Big Red (the largest sand dune in the Simpson Desert) to play a very special fund raising event for Diabetes Type 1 research.

You are invited to join a private air charter from Brisbane to the iconic outback town of Birdsville in Queensland's south west corner and enjoy a lifetime experience. The cost is $1,450 for the return trip and tickets are on sale now. Australian Air Tours will be pleased to provide any further details you require.
