Trip the Switch

Cold Chisel’s 2025 New Zealand events have turned into their own music festival.

In Townsville, Brisbane and Sydney The Killers have been performing the Aussie rock classic ‘Don’t Change’ by INXS but at the first Melbourne show they switched out to Icehouse ‘Electric Blue’ with a guest appearance from Icehouse legend Iva Davies to move things along.

Iva Davies is on the search for his stolen Les Paul guitar, which has been missing since 1980.

Icehouse will headline Red Hot Summer 2025 on a bill with an all Australian line-up of Noiseworks, Wolfmother, Eskimo Joe, Baby Animals, Killing Heidi and Bachelor Girl.

Australia has a new supergroup. The Good Dog Band are Steve Wade, Angus Birchall, Paul Gildea and Paul Cartwright and the first gig is locked in.

Legends On The Lawn was held 1 June 2024, Mackay Queensland. In an era of cancelled tours, this one was massive because the engineers of the event have perfected the touring formula.

Icehouse have taken to Artificial Intelligence to clean up their music videos starting with the songs from the first album as Flowers.
