David Campbell and Ally Langdon will host Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight this Christmas, their second time paired together as hosts.
Confirmed performers at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl this year include David Hobson, Marina Prior, Silvie Paladino, Anthony Callea, Tim Campbell, and Denis Walter.
Crowds will also return this year after missing 2020’s event due to the pandemic.
“I can’t wait to be back hosting Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight this year. I love Christmas! It’s such a special time of the year, especially when you have small kids. I couldn’t be happier to be part of Australia’s much-loved Christmas Eve tradition and to help raise money for children and their families who are blind or have low vision,” Ally Langdon said.
“Christmas is such a lovely time of the year, and we go all out in our house. I’m honoured to once again be a part of such a Christmas Eve tradition, and to be able to bring some Christmas joy to families all over Australia. It’s always a wonderful night for a great cause, raising much-needed funds for Vision Australia, and after such a tough year for millions of Australians, I’m so glad that crowds are back to help lift our Christmas spirits,” David Campbell said.
2021 marks the 84th year of Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight, and with full crowd capacity now allowed, the nation’s favourite Christmas Eve tradition will celebrate a long-awaited return to its full grandeur.
Carols by Candlelight is Vision Australia’s biggest annual fundraiser for children’s services, with 100 per cent of profits from ticket sales going directly towards supporting over 2300 families whose children blind or have low vision.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday, November 17 via carols.visionaustralia.org.
Friday, December 24, at 8.00pm on Nine.

I know he isn’t everyones cup of tea but last year Ed and Livinia were great. Or at least have Livinia co host with David. Give some melbourne flavour there.
It’s a shame they didn’t stick with Livinia Nixon, she was great last year and the pairing with David Campbell would have been great.
Livinia was fab.
May as watch last year’s or the year before, or the year before that with the same tired lineup. If they replayed it, I bet nobody could tell.
