Ms Williams said she “screamed and almost cried” when she got the good news.

“At the start of the year I bought tickets for my sister and I to go up for the concert – it’s such an amazing feeling right now to know I’ll be performing on the same stage as the artists I bought tickets to see,” she said.

BassInTheGrass takes place at Mindil Beach on May 15.
