Shannon Noll’s everyman appeal lies in his honesty and instant relateability. Nollsie’s rise to fame as the runner-up of the record breaking first series of Australian Idol, saw him go from being a farm hand in Condobolin, to one of Australia’s most cherished and recognised recording artists and entertainers.

 

In 2024, Nollsie is celebrating 20 years since the release of his multi-platinum debut album That’s What I’m Talkin’ About, with a special 20th Anniversary album release and national tour.

 

Since taking to the stage and commencing his successful recording career, “Australia’s favourite son”  has gone on to receive consistent acclaim with seven ARIA top 10 albums, including two multi-platinum #1 ARIA albums, 17 platinum and three gold accreditations. He boasts a reputation as the only Australian male artist in national ARIA chart history to have achieved ten consecutive top ten singles. His landmark single ‘What About Me’ was certified 4× platinum and was the highest selling single in Australia in 2004.

 

Twenty years on, Nollsie is at the peak of his powers as he continues to release new music, host his popular new podcast Idol Talking With Nollsie, headline major festivals and perform to huge crowds across Australia. His most recent album release, RAW debuted at #1 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart and #1 on the AIR Independent Album chart.
