Melbourne-based artist Karly Jewell will return to her hometown of Wentworth, NSW on March 7 to headline a special Cancer Benefit Concert at the Wentworth Showgrounds, bringing together music, community and culture for a full day dedicated to raising funds for cancer research.
The event, founded by local organiser Patrick Nunan, was created to support cancer research and community awareness. Now in its second year, the 2026 edition sees Jewell stepping in as headliner to help grow the event into something lasting and meaningful for the region she still calls home.
“For me this isn’t just another show,” says Jewell. “My late grandfather helped establish country music festivals in the area many years ago, so coming back to Wentworth to be part of something that supports the community and raises money for cancer research feels like a full circle moment and something we can continue to build on.”
Joining Jewell on stage are Audio Reign, The Dreadful Tides and a selection of local and visiting artists, alongside appearances from the Thuukalu Dancers performing traditional Indigenous dance, Irish dancers, children’s entertainers Little Notes and a range of community performers across the day.
