# Event Details - **Event Name**: Michael Paynter: The Great Australian Songbook – Burnie - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 am (+10:00) - **Event Description**: Catch the star of the upcoming John Farnham musical in an exclusive solo performance live in Burnie. Fresh from his award-winning, powerhouse performance as Jesus in the critically acclaimed Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar, and recently announced to play the legendary John Farnham in the world-premiere musical Whispering Jack, one of Australia’s finest voices is coming to the live stage. In 2026, Michael Paynter strips back the layers and the volume for an exclusive run of intimate solo shows. The Great Australian Songbook Tour sees the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist reimagining the nation’s most iconic anthems in a series of special, close-quarters settings across the country. Known to millions for his soaring vocals on Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight and his multi-platinum hit “Love the Fall” (feat. The Veronicas), Paynter is returning to his acoustic roots. This tour marks a new chapter for the performer, moving from the grandeur of the theatrical stage to the raw connection of a solo performance. Paynter also remains a sought-after collaborator, performing with iconic Australian artists including ICEHOUSE, Jimmy Barnes, Robbie Williams, Miley Cyrus, and The Veronicas. Quite simply the voice of our generation. Michael Paynter is untouchable. – The Veronicas I’ve spent 15 years watching audiences be captivated by Michael’s voice, and this extraordinary show will be no exception. These iconic songs couldn’t be in safer hands. – Iva Davies It’s so great to see a singer who not only sings beautifully but every time he does sing, it becomes a joyous occasion for everyone in the audience. – Jimmy Barnes “I am absolutely buzzing to bring this show to life,” says Paynter. “After the massive production of Jesus Christ Superstar, stripping it back to just a guitar and piano is exciting. It’s going to be raw, real, and completely unpredictable. It’s been over a decade since I’ve done anything like this, and I can’t wait to see you there.” - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/burnie/michael-paynter-the-great-australian-songbook-burnie/200029749875215 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, performances, live-music, art, candlelight-concerts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 20 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Burnie - **state**: TS - **country**: Australia - **location**: Burnie Arts Centre - **lat**: -41.050796266335 - **long**: 145.902559891 - **full address**: Burnie Arts Centre, 77-79 Wilmot St, Burnie TAS 7320, Australia, Burnie ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Michael Paynter: The Great Australian Songbook – Burnie - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/5277d02f71a4f264a63a16ac7389635ac7df91d2896302b37f437851dffe0455-rimg-w800-h343-dc787b77-gmir?v=1774768272 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Michael Paynter: The Great Australian Songbook – Burnie being held? - **A:** Michael Paynter: The Great Australian Songbook – Burnie takes place on Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 am to Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 am at Burnie Arts Centre, 77-79 Wilmot St, Burnie TAS 7320, Australia, Burnie. - **Q**: Who is organizing Michael Paynter: The Great Australian Songbook – Burnie? - **A:** Michael Paynter: The Great Australian Songbook – Burnie is organized by Festival of Voices. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Festival of Voices's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Festival of Voices a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
