Jimmy Barnes to Headline 2027 Summer Tour with All-Australians
Get ready for a summer soundtrack delivered with full Australian heart. Jimmy Barnes is set to headline the much-anticipated 2027 Red Hot Summer Tour, an epic journey across the continent that promises to be an unforgettable celebration of rock history and contemporary talent.
This isn’t just a tour; it’s a gathering of musical legends and rising stars. Barnes will lead an all-Australian lineup, featuring a powerhouse roster that spans decades of Australian music. Alongside Barnes, the bill includes Jon Stevens, who will be performing his iconic Noiseworks & INXS Collection, bringing a timeless legacy to the stage.
The supporting cast is equally stacked. Attendees can look forward to performances from Birds of Tokyo, Eskimo Joe, and the dynamic duo of Sarah McLeod and drummer Mick Skelton. The lineup is further enhanced by Baby Animals, who will be celebrating three and a half decades since their platinum debut, and the enduring presence of Eskimo Joe, who will mark three decades of musical collaboration.
Jimmy Barnes himself is an institution. With over four decades in the industry, he remains one of Australia’s most successful artists, boasting 22 No. 1 albums on the ARIA chart. A two-time ARIA Hall of Fame inductee, his career is cemented by hits from both his solo work and his seminal tenure as the frontman of Cold Chisel. He recently marked the 40th anniversary of his landmark 1985 album For the Working Class Man and has returned to the charts with his latest solo studio album, Defiant.
The Red Hot Summer Tour will roll out across eight spectacular outdoor venues in early next year. The journey begins in South Australia with a sounds by the river show at Mannum Golf Club, before sweeping through major cities and landscapes, including Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and Tasmania.
The itinerary is packed with incredible dates: January 9th in Mannum, SA, followed by stops in Warrnambool, VIC, and Lake Macquarie, NSW. The tour continues through February, hitting Southport in Queensland, Port Macquarie in New South Wales, and Yarra Valley in Victoria. It concludes in Tasmania with a final show in Launceston, before wrapping up in Wodonga on March 6th.
Fans eager to secure their spot for this monumental tour can grab tickets starting Friday, October 9th at 12 p.m. local time, following presales. Prepare for a summer filled with rock, history, and incredible Australian music.
