A celebration of rural resilience

Shannon Noll will headline this year's Sheepvention concert on August 3.

AUSSIE rock legend Shannon Noll will play in the south west when he is the headline act for the Sheepvention After Dark – Drought Relief concert.

The Sheepvention Rural Expo has secured Shannon Noll for the event on Sunday August 3, with the concert to be a powerful blend of music, community and mental health awareness.

The concert is proudly supported by the Let’s Talk Foundation, a grassroots charity dedicated to breaking the stigma around mental health in rural Australia.

As part of the evening, attendees will experience a panel discussion featuring lived-experience ambassadors and mental health professionals, sharing stories and strategies for building stronger, more connected communities, Sheepvention president Darren Schurmann said.

“Sheepvention is more than just an agricultural expo – it’s a celebration of rural resilience,” he said.

“Partnering with Let’s Talk brings a deeper purpose to the night, reminding us that mental health matters just as much as innovation and livestock.”

The Let’s Talk Foundation and other organisations will offer free resources, support contacts and information about local mental health services.

Their presence aims to empower attendees to start conversations, seek help and support one another.

Tickets for the Sheepvention After Dark Drought Relief concert are on sale now via www.sheepvention.com.

Doors open at 7pm, with local support acts warming up the stage before Shannon Noll delivers his iconic hits.
