Bernard Fanning’s Red Hot Summer Shows Will Be His First In Nearly a Year

by Paul Cashmere on January 12, 2023

in News

When Bernard Fanning hits the stage at Red Hot Summer this weekend in Mornington, it will be the first time he has performed since March last year.

Bernard only played a couple of shows in 2022 so the Red Hot Summer tour will be a return to working live for the former Powderfinger singer.

On his socials Bernard wrote, “We are so excited to get started on the Red Hot Summer Tour this weekend alongside a bunch of legendary troublemakers. I promise I’ll even wear shoes! We’ve got a rockin’ band with @patdavern and @ianstergram joining the fray along with stalwarts @declankellymusic (have a listen to his excellent new record) and #matthewengelbrecht (too hot for Facebook/instagram). Tickets all over the country are selling FAST so get in quick. See you at Mornington Saturday and Sunday. Handful of tickets left for this Sunday.PS. Big thanks to The Fortitude Music Hall for hosting our rehearsals this week”.

Bernard played at Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane and threw in the Powderfinger songs ‘These Days’ and ‘Sunsets’. He also had some surprise covers with Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’ and ‘War Pigs’.
