Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce Daniel Johns In Conversation: What If The Future Never Happened? – four nights of storytelling, film and music with one of the most decorated Australian artists and songwriters of his generation, live on stage this November.

Johns is taking to the stage in celebration of the worldwide premiere of his highly anticipated featurette, What If The Future Never Happened? – with each screening framed by an hour-long onstage conversation. In these rare live talk appearances, Daniel will discuss his early life and creative process, sharing never-before-seen photos, moving archival footage, and unreleased recordings straight from his personal collection. He’ll reveal coveted demos – like the rough cut of Ana’s Song (Open Fire)’, that would go on to define 1999’s Neon Ballroom – to award-winning solo material and collaborative projects, each evening promising a distinct experience shaped by the moment, no two nights the same.

“What If The FutureNever Happened? is equal parts reality and fantasy and I’m as proud of it as anything I’ve ever done in my career. The orchestration took time, and the final result was worth it.

To celebrate the release of the Featurette, I’ll be sitting on stage, telling stories, taking the aux chord and sharing tunes that nobody has heard and sharing random ideas that likely won’t be realised. Basically, turning theatres into giant living rooms… it would be great if some people showed up but I’m doing it anyway – you’re all invited!”

Directed by James Medlam, What If The Future Never Happened? is a genre-bending, semi-autobiographical featurette that puts reality and fantasy in a hyper-speed spin cycle.

Fans first caught wind of the trailer back in 2022 with the release of Johns’ chart-topping second solo album, the #1 FutureNever – an album that broke ARIA records by reaching #1 twice and spending a record 7 weeks in the Top Ten, a feat that is yet to be matched in the three years that have passed. Produced by Clockwork Films in association with Daniel Johns, BMG, and Newcastle owned and operated entertainment company Winarch, the sci-fi inspired film is a cinematic portal back to the ‘90s, a postcard from the past written to the future.

It’s 1994, mere months before a teenage rockstar called Daniel (actor Rasmus King) would conquer the global music world in ways never-before-seen. On this ordinary day in regional Australia, while escaping the routine torment of three local bullies (led by newcomer Lockie Ranson), a chance interaction with a mysterious figure from the future will change Daniel’s Tomorrow forever…
