What is Daniel Johns up to?<\/p>\n
The iconic Australian musician has been sharing cryptic messages in recent months, and fans are only asking more questions on the back of his latest social media post.<\/p>\n
In clips shared to the Silverchair frontman\u2019s Instagram, captioned \u201cIt\u2019s happening\u201d, it was revealed that Johns made a surprise appearance at the soundcheck of local band The Lizards\u2019 show earlier this year at Little Bosa in Port Elliot, South Adelaide. The band were playing Silverchair\u2019s debut album Frogstomp in full to celebrate the record\u2019s 30th anniversary.<\/p>\n
Per the video, Johns \u201cjust rocks up at soundcheck, played with The Lizards for a bit, did a jam, and it was just really odd\u201d, before returning later in the night for the gig. He is believed to have shown up quietly as the show started as \u201cDan didn\u2019t want to freak anyone out\u201d and watched from the kitchen: \u201cThen Dan just disappeared. Just vanished. It was so trippy, but it happened. I filmed a bit on my phone because I knew no one would believe me. It was crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes after Johns posted a black-and-white Polaroid on his Instagram in June<\/a>, paired with short clips of himself tearing through a frantic guitar piece. The captions read: \u201c5 Minute Warning,\u201d \u201cStand \u2019em up against the wall,\u201d and \u201cThis concludes the intermission \u2014 see you in 1995. #FutureNever.\u201d<\/p>\n The posts continue a run of unusual updates in recent weeks, with Johns dropping hints about \u201ctime travelling\u201d and slipping in references to 1994.<\/p>\n For Johns, 1994 is more than just a throwback. It was the year Silverchair broke through with their debut EP\u00a0Tomorrow, whose title track topped the ARIA Charts.<\/p>\n Back in April, on his 46th birthday, Johns reemerged on Instagram for the first time since October 2023,\u00a0writing<\/a>: \u201cI have to go back in time to finalise something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
