The Living End set for a Red Hot Summer of touring

The Living End are in fine form for kicking off the first series of the Red Hot Summer tour for 2019 after a good four months of ‘training’ getting in shape with their Wunderbar tour.

The Wunderbar tour broke in the new songs. ‘Wunderbar’ was the eighth album for The Living End coming two weeks short of 20 years since the debut ‘The Living End’.

Here is a fun fact about The Living End – out of eight album, The Living End have never not had a Top 10 record. The self-titled debut and the fourth album ‘State of Emergency’ were both number one albums in Australia. The third album ‘Modern Artillery’, sixth ‘The Ending Is Just The Beginning Repeating’ and the current ‘Wunderbar’ all reached number three. 2016’s ‘Shift’ peaked at number 4, and ‘Roll On’, the second album from 2000 reached number 8.

Jimmy Barnes will headline the first series of Red Hot Summer with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, The Living End, Diesel, Richard Clapton and Chocolate Starfish on the bill.
