BANJO will sweep you into the ache and awe of pre-Federation Australia.

Through his hardships in 1880s rural Australia, his time as a writer and lawyer in the dusty, dirty streets of Sydney, and his bitter return to the country, BANJO follows Paterson’s dreams of a wilder Australia.

This unique musical delivers an “incredibly moving experience” (Former NSW Arts Minister, Ben Franklin).

The masterful weaving of Paterson’s verse, Coldplay’s music, and contemporary dance creates a raw and honest journey of love, connection, and sacrifice.

"It’s a cyclone; I hardly took a breath." - Griffith audience member, 2025 tour

Take the dusty track to paradise…
