And Bathurst will be his third stop, with the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre to host Williamson on Saturday, February 13.
With 20 studio albums, four million record sales and numerous live shows to his name, Williamson said he's been itching to get back on the road.
"The Bathurst gig will be part of my first weekend of shows in 10 months, I'm really looking forward to it," he said.
"I have enjoyed the time off, and I feel refreshed and raring to get back into it."
Williamson first rose to prominence on former Australian talent search programme New Faces with 'Old Man Emu', his debut single which is still a staple of his live sets.
Williamson has since written some of Australia's most important musical compositions, including the intergenerational 'True Blue', fulfilling a young man's goal to forge a distinct Australian identity for country music.
"In many ways, life in the country hasn't changed much, and yet I'm still inspired by the sheer diversity of landscapes, people and communities you find across Australia," he said.
"As a touring musician, I've been lucky enough to see much of Australia, and while I can still sing, play guitar and not forget the words, I hope to continue entertaining audiences all across the land."
Williamson's gig will get under way from 8pm. For ticketing information, visit www.bmec.com.au.
