Jimmy Barnes and his band announce today that they will be returning to New Zealand to play 9 shows over the Christmas/New Year period.

Last December Jimmy Barnes got a unique taste of New Zealand, playing the summer beach circuit for the first time. Not only did he see a different side of NZ concert touring, but the tour completely sold out and left us wanting more.

Not surprisingly Barnsey is returning and it’s no wonder, this kind of tour is unique in the world.

In the Xmas/New Year period towns and venues that during the year are inhabited only by locals get descended upon by thousands of holiday makers.

Local watering holes are transformed into proper concert venues with circus tents erected in carparks, marquees over beer gardens, scaffold stages, portaloos and mobile generators.

The tour will take in shows in both the North & South Island playing Napier’s East Pier for New Years Eve.

Playing guitar in Jimmy’s band will be Diesel who will have now toured New Zealand 3 times in a 12 month period. Seems he likes it here too! Prior to Jimmy's set, Diesel's own three piece band will pay a 40 minute live set featuring Diesel on guitar & lead vocals.

Jimmy Barnes,a Scottish migrant arrived in South Australia by ship via assisted passage, became the notorious lead singer of Cold Chisel and then developed a phenomenal solo career which has no signs of stopping, his recent #1 Australian top 40 Album chart topper Double Happiness is testament to that.

For this tour, and as a NZ release only, Liberation Music will release a greatest hits compilation “In The Heat Of The Night”.
