The town of Wingham is set to come alive this November as local country music sensation James Johnston headlines the annual Wingham Music Festival, a special three-day event, this year dedicated to flood recovery and community resilience.
Currently touring the nation on his Where You'll Find Me tour and on the back of the release of his new album of the same name, James Johnston will make a heartfelt stop in his hometown to support the Mid North Coast community, which has faced significant challenges this year. The festival is proudly billed as a Flood Recovery Concert, aiming to uplift spirits, reconnect neighbours, and rebuild lives through the power of live music.
"I knew I wanted my first show back in my hometown to be something truly special. After everything this past year has thrown at this community, there's no better reason to come together and celebrate how far we've come. I'm so proud to be a Wingham boy and seeing the way everyone stood shoulder to shoulder and rebuilt after the floods was truly inspiring. I know there's going to be a little bit of magic in the air that night, and I'm honoured to stand on that stage and share it with every single one of you," said James Johnston.
Joining Johnston on stage will be an incredible lineup of Australian talent, including Backsliders, The Badloves, Bill Chambers, Hat Fitz and Cara, Round Mountain Girls, Blues Arcadia, and many more.
