Legends On The Lawn Announces Stellar Aussie Line-Up…

LEGENDS ON THE LAWN is thrilled to announce the next stellar line-up for their outdoor show. The next concert will be headlined by Australian music icon, Jimmy Barnes, and supported by crowd favourites Jon Stevens (The Noiseworks/INXS Collection), Birds Of Toyko, Baby Animals, Busby Marou and Bachelor Girl.

Mayor Greg Williamson said that after record attendance last year, LEGENDS ON THE LAWN was back for its fifth year in Mackay and had cemented its place as the region's biggest music festival.

“LEGENDS ON THE LAWN has a fantastic formula that works, a tremendous lineup of iconic Australian artists, beautiful outdoor location and a festival delivered like a well-oiled machine,” Mayor Williamson said.

“And what an incredible lineup we have this year, we’re excited to see Harrup Park packed once again in 2026 and look forward to welcoming thousands of passionate music fans to the Mackay region.”

Jimmy Barnes is the heart and soul of Australian rock and roll. He has 22 #1 albums, more than The Beatles, and he has sold more records in Australia than any other local artist. For over 40 years he has delivered some of the country’s most intense and iconic live performances both as a solo performer and as front man for the legendary Cold Chisel, leading him to be inducted into the ARIA Hall of fame … twice. He is truly in a league of his own.

Back by popular demand is Jon Stevens with The Noiseworks & INXS Collection Tour. Jon is back performing songs from the legendary bands that catapulted him into Aussie Rock Royalty.

The performance will bring hits like Take Me Back, New Sensation, Touch, Don’t Change, Hot Chilli Woman, Never Tear Us Apart, No Lies and much more.

Formed in Perth in the early 2000’s, Birds of Tokyo have grown from independent roots to become one of Australia’s most popular contemporary rock bands.

Since their 2008 breakthrough Universes, all five of the group’s albums have reached the ARIA top 3 including two #1 hits: March Fires (2013) and Human Design (2021). Classic songs like “Good Lord”, “Plans”, “Lanterns”, “Two Of Us”, “Brace” and “Unbreakable” have all been top 10 airplay hits and more than seventy of their tracks have featured on Triple J.

It has been 35 years since one of Australia’s most revered rock bands, Baby Animals, burst onto the scene with the release of their 8x Platinum, ARIA Award winning, self-titled debut album, featuring iconic hits ‘Rush You’, ‘Early Warning’, ‘Painless’ and ‘One Word’.

Their album went eight times platinum and won three ARIA Awards – Best Album, Best Debut Album and Best Debut Single.

Busby Marou are one of Australia’s most loved live acts, known for their unique blend of heartfelt storytelling, soaring harmonies, and exceptional musicianship. Tom Busby (Rockhampton, QLD) and Jeremy Marou (Torres Strait Islands) have been playing together for two decades, forging a deep musical connection that shines on stage and in the studio. With five critically acclaimed albums, including an ARIA #1 and multiple ARIA-charting releases, their songs have amassed millions of streams and won a fiercely loyal fan base.

Formed in 1992 by Tania Doko and James Roche, Bachelor Girl became one of Australia’s most loved acts of the 90s and early 2000s, achieving major success locally and internationally, including signing with Clive Davis at Arista Records.

Still delivering a hit-filled, dynamic live show, Bachelor Girl remain a vital force in Australian music and are currently working on a major new project set to be announced soon.
