JOHN WILLIAMSON | 55 Years – My Travellin’ Days are Done!

JOHN WILLIAMSON | 55 Years – My Travellin’ Days are Done!

JOHN WILLIAMSON | 55 Years – My Travellin’ Days are Done!

Back by popular demand, John Williamson will return to the Gold Coast for one night only at HOTA on Sat 18 Apr 2026. 

What can be said about John Williamson that hasn’t already been said? 2025/2026 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. 

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 True Blue himself before his ‘Travellin’ Days are Done’.
