A Living Legend: Celebration Concert

Head and Neck Cancer Australia is honoured to be a part of the upcoming celebration concert: John Farnham: A Living Legend — a one-night-only event at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 20 September.


John Farnham’s openness about his experience with oral cancer over the past few years has had a profound impact. By sharing his story, he has helped raise the voices of thousands of Australians living with Head and Neck Cancer and brought a deeper understanding of head and neck cancer into the public conversation.


With more than 120 artists on stage, including a 38-piece orchestra, choir and the John Farnham Band, this will be an extraordinary night. We’re truly honoured that John and his family have chosen Head and Neck Cancer Australia as the charity beneficiary.


The concert also coincides with HANCA’s 10-year anniversary. We’re incredibly grateful that funds raised will support our work into the next decade—raising awareness, supporting patients, and advocating for care beyond treatment, helping people put the pieces of their lives back together and achieve the best possible quality of life.
