I hope Australia’s Biggest Singalong! reminds people that singing is for everyone, no matter where you’re from or what ability you have.”

Mitch Tambo said: “I’m really looking forward to Australia’s Biggest Singalong! The highlight for me will be being backed by the S2S Squad youth choir on stage, to celebrate and honour my culture. This is the most exciting part for me as I have massive passion for youth as they are our future leaders. I’m really thankful to SBS for their continued support of me and my journey and giving me a platform again to share my music.”

Adam Eckersley and Brooke McClymont said: “When we heard about Australia’s Biggest Singalong! we thought what a fantastic idea! Singing makes people happy, listening to people sing makes people happy, there should be more singing, particularly after the last couple of crazy years, the world can use any little bit of help to spread smiles. We’re stoked to be part of this event and hopefully help bring a bit of laughter and joy through a good old singalong.”
