After a successful 2025 marked by sold-out headline shows and the release of his debut single Shiver, Thom Johnston returns to Bar Open for a special solo performance to kick off 2026.
Thom Johnston is a driving force within Melbourne’s folk-rock scene. Originally from Geelong, Thom arrived in Naarm five years ago with an acoustic guitar, distinctively powerful voice, and has since become a familiar face across venues throughout Melbourne.
After releasing his demos project under the alias Maxwell925, Thom will be closing the chapter and performing the album in full, alongside exclusive previews of new material set for release this year.
