Australian country music legends John Williamson and Warren H Williams have been added to the Boomerang Festival in October.
The Boomerang Festival, dubbed the new world indigenous festival for all Australians, will be held on the October long weekend at the Tyagarah Tea Farm at Byron Bay.
John Williamson has invited Warren H Williams to perform with him at the Festival. “Whilst John Williamson is scheduled to perform his own show, he has confirmed that he looks forward to inviting Warren to join him for a song or two. It has been some years since they have performed together and this collaboration will be a special experience for all attending the Boomerang Festival,” said festival director Rhoda Roberts.
