Cold Chisel will head back to Newcastle to play for the petrol-heads in November.
Chisel will reunite for the Newcastle 500 for what will be their only mainland Australia show for 2017. (I take it that means there is a Tasmanian show about to also be announced).
“Newcastle has always been great to us,” says frontman Jimmy Barnes. “When we were starving in our early days, we would drive up there and fill rooms, long before we did anywhere else. We got to learn our trade playing to wild and appreciative crowds in full rooms there. If we owe anyplace anything, it’s Newcastle!”
Spiderbait will open the show on Saturday night 25 November 2017.
Cold Chisel kicked off their last tour playing for NRL Grand Final of 2015.
Cold Chisel’s last show was December 18, 2015 in Sydney.
