Aussie legend John Farnham has announced he will perform tracks from his iconic album, Whispering Jack, at massive A Day On The Green concerts this year. 

Kicking off in late November, Farnsie will perform at wineries in McLaren Vale, Hunter Valley, Mt Cotton and Yarra Valley alongside some very special guests in Daryl Braithwaite, Richard Marx, Russell Morris and Bachelor Girl.

Released in 1986, Whispering Jack had an unprecedented impact on Australian music. It was the first local album to sell more than one million copies, it held the number one position on the charts for a staggering 25 weeks, went 24 times platinum and it blitzed the ARIA Awards the following year, including taking out the coveted Album Of The Year gong.

Stand out tracks from the LP include Pressure Down, A Touch Of Paradise and of course, Australia's unofficial anthem, You're The Voice.

It remains the highest selling Australian album of all time by an Australian artist with more than 1.7 million sales.

"John enjoys doing these outdoor shows," Farnham's manager, Glenn Wheatley, said.

"The environment and the audiences are always great. And he loves performing the Whispering Jack songs - he knows how much this album means to the fans."
