Following 18 sold out arena shows playing Parson Nathaniel in Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of War of the Worlds, Shannon Noll is back home and offering a double bonus to the fans who have helped him grow from his humble beginnings to his just-as-humble stardom.

Due to overwhelming requests, fans will get an opportunity to see him perform his intimate acoustic In The Raw show, which he is taking nationally after it won rave reviews in April from critics and public alike. The show’s personal setting allows fans to direct questions to Shannon via media personality host Nick Bennett in a special Q&A session between sets, which include not only his greatest hits, but also covers of some of his favourite songs.

Along with the tour, Shannon is also launching his first official fan club, SNFC, where he will share his life as an international star with the people who got him there.

Fan club members will get access to “all things Shannon” including never before released behind-the-scenes videos and pictures, contests, special meet and greets, access to tickets before they go on sale to the general public and other items not available anywhere but the SNFC.

All members will also receive an exclusive limited edition t-shirt, personal gold or platinum membership card and a free copy of Shannon’s next album, which will be released next year.

“Touring in the War of The Worlds was a great experience but made me realise how much I miss my fans. I want to speak to my fans directly”, says Shannon. “They are the reason I’ve got where I am and now I can give back a little something extra-special by sharing my life with them. They’ll get a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes and, most importantly I’ll be able to hear from them direct, and learn what they want to see and hear.”

SNFC will run a range of competitions, weekly, monthly, annually and randomly, with prizes from signed one-off memorabilia to the chance to help choose the music for his next album.

The fan club will officially launch in August, but fans can sign up now and start enjoying the benefits of membership, register for prizes, share Shannon’s thoughts and watch a sample of the behind the scenes video footage that only members will have access to.

When the site launches in August, video footage will feature a life in the day of Shannon backstage at War of the Worlds as well as sightseeing in London with his family.
