Hunters and Collectors lead singer Mark Seymour will join the broadcast for the final performance of this legendary song.
From pubs across Australia to the comfort of your own loungeroom, everyone of any singing ability is invited to join in. SBS is encouraging audience members to submit videos of themselves singing Throw Your Arms Around Me via sbs.com.au/singalong for their chance to have their personal rendition featured during the broadcast
Julia Zemiro said: Is there anything more joyful than hundreds of voices singing in harmony? It's thrilling just thinking about it. I love singing in a choir, a group, with friends and strangers. We have created this event as a wonderful opportunity for all Australians. Everyone should get the chance to experience the true delight that is singing in a choir and learning such an iconic song together. We can promise you a night full of incredible storytelling, entertainment and unrelenting enthusiasm.
