Johno's birthday is Sunday 28 December, 2025

LEGENDARY busker Ian 'Johno' Johnson is celebrating his 80th birthday on Sunday 28 December - not Saturday 28 December - at the Barrier Reef Hotel in the Cairns CBD from 2pm.

Johno is inviting the community to join the celebrations, which will run until 6pm.

“Everybody's invited to come to my birthday party at the Barrier Reef Hotel. It's going to start from two o'clock to six or something and I've got a band playing and a gong show,” he said.

Cairns Local News apologises for the day error and the confusion this has caused readers.
