We Are The Voice - Singing Back To John Farnham

‘WE ARE THE VOICE’ ANNOUNCES GUEST LINEUP FOR SIDNEY MYER MUSIC BOWL JOHN FARNHAM SINGALONG

The Australian Book of Records today announces the full performer lineup for We Are The Voice, an unforgettable world record singalong event celebrating the music of John Farnham, set to take place at Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Friday 13 March 2026.

Thousands of Farnham fans are expected to gather under the Melbourne skyline as the audience becomes the headline act, forming a colossal choir in an official attempt to set a world record for the largest singalong to John Farnham songs alongside some iconic guest vocalists, all while raising vital funds and awareness for Head and Neck Cancer Australia.

Leading the charge as Musical Director is the incomparable Chong Lim, performing alongside the legendary Farnham Band, who will reunite for this special occasion. Together, they will anchor a powerful night of music featuring some of Australia’s most dynamic performers.

Beloved entertainer Em Rusciano will host the evening, bringing her trademark wit, powerhouse vocals and unmistakable energy to the Bowl. Acclaimed choir master Jonathon Welch AM will prepare and conduct the audience as the ultimate mass choir, guiding thousands of voices through iconic anthems including You’re The Voice and other Farnham classics.

Adding to the spectacle, ARIA Hall of Fame inductee Jack Jones, rising country star Taylor Moss, dynamic vocalists Crackup Sister Iffy (Nerida Matthaei) and Rachel Bostock, and renowned hypnotist entertainer Mark Anthony will each bring their unique flair to what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. And to up the ante even further, Mark Anthony will be attempting a world record for hypnotising the most people at one time on stage at the Bowl!

"Chong has done a wonderful job producing this show,” beams Farnham. “From one of my favourite singers, Jack Jones to the touching voices that make up the Choir of Hard Knocks...I hope you all have a great night!"

Performing together for the first time since Fire Fight Australia in 2020, the Farnham Band are thrilled to reunite in honour of John and for a cause close to his heart. “This will be a powerful night of music, unity and celebration,” says Musical Director Chong Lim. “To stand on stage with the Farnham Band again and hear thousands of Australians singing these songs together will be something truly special.”

John Farnham, whose personal battle with oral cancer has helped shine a national spotlight on Head and Neck Cancer awareness, has expressed his gratitude for the event and its purpose.

Nadia Rosin, CEO of Head and Neck Cancer Australia, says the event is more than just a celebration of music.

“John Farnham has become an unexpected but incredibly powerful voice for Head and Neck Cancer awareness. By sharing his own diagnosis, he has helped educate Australians about a cancer that is often diagnosed too late. This event will not only celebrate John’s extraordinary musical legacy — it will help save lives through awareness and early detection.”
