While he may be one of Australia's most well-known pop artists, The Voice Australia coach is no stranger to visiting regional communities.
He previously played at the Hay Mate Concert For Farmers at Scully Park in 2018, alongside Aussie legend John Farnham, Jon Stevens and The Veronica's, raising money for drought-hit communities.
Next month, he returns to the Country Music Capital, which is the first stop on his massive T.R.U.T.H tour along the east coast of Australia.

"It was apparent in meet and greets and from stage that there was a communal feeling of heaviness in the audience," he said.
"It is always a privilege to be on stage and our job is to make sure everyone in that audience is having a cracking time away from all the stresses of life, even if it is for just a couple of hours."
The massive show will light up the Tamworth Regional Entertainment and Conference Centre for one night only on November 1.
I can't wait to be out there playing again, this is my favourite regional tour.
- Guy Sebastian
"There is something about these intimate venues that makes me feel at home, like I'm surrounded by family, and every show is different," Guy said.
"Touring regionally is my favourite thing to do. I love driving and seeing these parts of Australia and also meeting such friendly and welcoming country people.
"I tend to slip in a game of golf or take some nature photography along the way too. I don't think it's possible to do a regional run of shows without including Tamworth."
The tour will see Guy and his band performing some of his most popular tracks from across his career, including hit single Believer, ARIA Song Of The Year Choir, fight song Before I Go, and the upbeat Love on Display. Fans will also hear some of Guy's biggest songs including Bloodstone and global hit Battle Scars.
It's a second change for regional audiences who may have missed out on his sold-out Arena T.R.U.T.H tour earlier this year.
For every ticket sold, $1 will be donated to The Sebastian Foundation, a charity set up by Guy and his wife Jules to promote adolescent mental health and wellbeing.
Tickets can be purchased online through Entertainment Venues, and are selling out fast.
Guy takes to the stage at 7:30pm.
