John Paul Young – 50 Years Young The Anniversary Tour

Due to the difficulty associated with touring at this point in time, John Paul Young’s management have made the difficult decision to cancel his scheduled performance on Friday 25 March. Ipswich Civic Centre will endeavour to work with JPY’s management with the view to bring JPY to Ipswich in the near future.  We are currently contacting ticket purchasers to arrange a refund.

From ’70s pop icon to the ARIA Hall of Fame, John Paul Young has become the soundtrack for the ‘Countdown’ generation and beyond.

John tells and sings his own story from his beginnings as a Scottish immigrant to his legendary status in Aussie music folklore.

With over 4 million album sales  worldwide, numerous awards and an induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2009, John Paul Young is recognised as one of the most iconic artists in Australian music’s history.

In 2012, John received an Order of Australia (OAM) for his services to charity and the music industry.

From John’s first release with Pasadena, in 1972, he then went on to become the un-official co-presenter alongside Molly Meldrum on ABC TV’s Countdown and to the present day he has been a constant presence on the live music scene, in theatre with roles in the original Jesus Christ Superstar, Shout – The Johnny O’Keefe Story, Leader of the Pack – The Ellie Greenwich Story and most recently, Grease, The Musical.

A stint in radio at NEWFM Newcastle saw him top the rating in Breakfast, Mornings and Afternoon timeslots.
