Lee Kernaghan - Boys From The Bush The Concert

After selling out his 2024 shows, Australia's country music legend Lee Kernaghan is bringing his Boys From The Bush – The Concert to more towns around Australia in 2025. Lee Kernaghan burst onto the Australian music scene over three decades ago with a fresh approach of synthesising traditional country themes with his own experiences growing up in regional Australia. His unique style of Australian country music paying homage to our great land, its people, culture, and the hard-working lifestyle struck a chord with a younger generation of fans. Lee’s amazing career is one of trailblazing music making and a deep connection to his fans and regional communities. He continues to deliver exciting live concert productions by fusing arena-rock bravado with country music’s heart and soul, by joining the traditional country stories with real life on the land sensibilities and values, and in the process he continues to lead the pack in modernising and growing the genre and community that he fondly calls his mates. Classics including The Outback Club, Boys From The Bush, Hat Town, She’s My Ute, Australian Boy and Backroad Nation are the modern day anthems for generations of Australians living and working on the land. Lee’s 13 chart-topping albums and 3 Greatest Hits packages have delivered 40 #1 hit singles, 38 Golden Guitars, 4 ARIA’s and has been named Hitmaker Of The Decade twice. Through his work with regional communities in times of drought, fire and flood Lee was named Australian Of The Year in 2008. His sold out concert tours have cemented Lee Kernaghan as a touring juggernaut and one of the greatest live entertainers in Australia. Boys From The Bush – The Concert has been hailed as his biggest and most epic touring production to date and features Special Guests Robby Kernaghan, Tori Darke and Matt Cornell.

Same Like Yesterday

Same Like Yesterday is a story about six senior Adnyamathanha women and 2 teenage girls travelling through the Flinders Ranges in the footsteps of Virlkuthalypila, the two women from the Yura Muda (Dreamtime). Through this colourfully animated projection-installation, we share with you the stories of our ancestors and the memories of growing up on our country. Our country is woven together by an endless thread of stories. They are embedded in the land, the sky, the water, and the mountains. Even the animals hold stories from long time ago. We followed the journey of the two women, sharing and learning many more stories along the way. Stories that teach young ones to stay safe and respect sacred sites, and to help us all gain a greater appreciation of Adnyamathanha history and culture. The three-dimensional projection-installation is best described as a giant paper pop-up book that comes to life with animated artworks and storytelling. All ages, there are some moments in story that may be scary for very young children
