The Red Hot Summer Tour will officially hit the road again in 2027.
Next year’s shows will be headlined by Jimmy Barnes, with support acts Jon Stevens (Noiseworks & INXS Collection), Birds Of Tokyo, Eskimo Joe, Baby Animals, Chocolate Starfish and Sarah McLeod.
The tour will kick off on January 9th at Mannum Golf Club in South Australia, followed by Warrnambool Racecourse in Victoria, Speers Point Park, Lake Macquarie in NSW and Broadwater Parklands in Southport, Queensland.
The tour then returns to NSW at Westport Park in Port Macquarie, Rochford Wines in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, Country Club Lawns in Launceston, Tasmania, and Gateway Lakes, Wodonga, Victoria.
The news comes only days after Barnes released a new cover of Rose Tattoo’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll is King” in honour of the recent passing of Gary “Angry” Anderson.
“Friendships were made and friendships were lost. Lots of us never made it through but Angry and I always seemed to remain standing. He was my friend; my brother in arms,” Barnes said last week.
“We laughed a lot, talking about taking the rock establishment by the throat and shaking it as hard as we could, in an endless struggle to get the best out of it. Like all mates we saw the world differently at times, but one thing mattered more than all that: we liked the same music; music that came from the heart. We liked music with substance, music with backbone, music that moved our souls.”
