Red Hot Summer Tour
Posted
on November 11 2009
Jimmy Barnes, Shannon Noll, Adam Brand team up for tour!
Jimmy Barnes will headline a very special series of concerts in January 2010 aptly titled the Red Hot Summer Tour that features three of Australia’s greatest and most loved entertainers on the one bill. Barnes will be accompanied by multi award-winning singer-songwriter Shannon Noll of the Idol fame, and current Dancing With The Stars champion Adam Brand.
The tour extends for six dates throughout Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. This will be the first time all three artists have performed on the one bill – this will be a once in a lifetime experience for all who attend.
The phrase gets bandied around a lot in connection with his name, but it’s now official. Jimmy Barnes is Australia’s greatest music legend, racking up his ninth #1 solo album with The Rhythm and The Blues (out now through Liberation), which confirms the man has secured more #1 albums in the ARIA charts than any Australian artist ever. Factor in Jimmy’s two chart-toppers from his Cold Chisel days and he and U2 jostle it out with eleven ARIA number ones for first place.
The Rhythm and The Blues showcases classic tracks from the late 40s through to the 60s making up what some are calling Jimmy’s best album ever.
The Jimmy Barnes live experience is like no other. Fans are treated to a show featuring all the hits from the days of Cold Chisel, as well as his highly acclaimed solo career. The raw energy has fans in a frenzy from start to finish.
Shannon Noll is the first artist, male or female, domestic or international, to have 10 consecutive Top 10 singles on the ARIA charts. Shannon is taking time out from his busy songwriting schedule to join Jimmy and Adam in a series of shows he wasn’t going to miss!
Adam Brand is the 2009 winner of Dancing with the Stars, the current CMAA Male Artist of the Year and CMC Oz Artist of the Year. He is a multi-platinum selling recording artist, who delivers a highly acclaimed live performance.
As a special offer for this tour, a special Ticketmaster presale will occur on Thursday November 29th from 12 noon. The first 200 tickets sold through Ticketmaster during the Presale will receive a copy of Jimmy Barnes’ new single ‘Red Hot’.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Over a few drinks we’d probably be kicking the footy around I guess. Depends….I’ve got a fairly one track mind before a show and tend to tweak my gear endlessly in anticipation of going on-stage, but definitely love to unwind after we come off….but who doesn’t!
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
A never ending platter of Sushi, Jasmine Tea and Blue Powerade
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
Jerrico – Great dudes who have created an amazing sound on all their releases. Furthermore they effortlessly translate that sound in the live setting to create an amazing experience for musician and punter alike. We’ve been lucky to know and play with these guys over the last couple of years, and it always feels like we’re catching up with close family when we see them.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
Toiletries and items of hygene, definitely
What's your secret talent?
If I told you it wouldn’t be a secret…..but seriously……I guess one of the things that most people don’t know about me is that I have played the Viola for 20 years.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
They’re all pretty interlinked an kept relatively up to date, although I guess Facebook/Twitter seems to be the flavour of the month at the moment.
New Empire
Since their formation, the Sydney four-piece have constantly been experimenting and fusing different styles to create their original and powerful brand of music. New Empire's high energy and powerful live show combined with their heartfelt and honest music makes them one of Sydney's most popular new bands. Awoe magazine has described New Empire as "the essentials of the rock pop culture", and this is clearly echoed by thousands of music lovers across the country.
Forming in the late Summer of 2003, Euphoria Audio are a Rock/Popular band from Wakefield, UK. They have worked closely with producers Stuart Epps (Oasis, Robbie Williams, Jimmy Page) and Steve Levine (Culture Club, The Beach Boys), and most recently have recorded in Trondheim, Norway with Universals D-sign Music (Kylie Minogue, Joe Cocker).
In 2010 the band showcased at the Musexpo music conference in Los Angeles in front of world-wide delegates as well as a performance at the legendary Viper Room.
