Cold Chisel brought their The Big 5-0 show to Melbourne’s iconic Sydney Myer Music Bowl for two nights on Friday and Saturday. It was the first time Chisel had performed at the Bowl since 2005.
Even back in the day, Chisel had only previously play at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in 1978, 1980 and 1982. The 2005 show was part of the Melbourne International Music and Blues Festival Chuggi did back then as a tsunami benefit concert with John Farnham, Billy Thorpe and Daddy Cool also on the bill.
Cold Chisel are nearing the end of the Australian leg on The Big 5-0 tour. There are three more shows to go in Canberra, Hunter Valley and Sydney then another three in January 2025 in New Zealand.
