Cold Chisel Sell-Out 16 Shows In One Day

by Paul Cashmere on June 5, 2024

in News

The 2024 Cold Chisel ‘The Big Five-O’ tour has sold record in record numbers with 150,000 tickets across 16 shows selling out within hours of going on sale.

“We’ve been completely blown away by the public response today”, said Cold Chisel frontman, Jimmy Barnes. “We know a lot of people missed out and will be feeling disappointed, but the demand has been bigger than we’ve ever seen for any of our other tours. We’re now scrambling to try and add a few more gigs in late November so hopefully we’ll have some more news about that in the coming week.”

Cold Chisel is:

Jimmy Barnes – Vocals
Ian Moss – Guitars & Vocal
Steve Prestwich – Drums (RIP 2011)
Phil Small – Bass
Don Walker – Piano & Organ
Charley Drayton – Drums (since 2011)

This week the Chisel story was told on Australian Story:

Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes almost tagged teamed in 1984. Chisel’s final single of the original era ‘Flame Trees’ and Jimmy’s first solo single ‘No Second Prize’ were both released in August 1984.

‘No Second Prize’ debuted in the Australian chart on 30 August 1984.

Cold Chisel ‘Flames Trees’ entered the chart one week later on 6 September 1984.

The launch of Jimmy’s solo career kept Chisel active on Australian radio playlists for the rest of the 80s and maintained a Chisel presence that only grew after they disbanded.

Why Queen’s Quietest Member John Deacon Chose to Become a Recluse Until This Rare Return

For fans of Queen, John Deacon has long been the enigma of the band, a brilliant musician, masterful songwriter, and humble presence behind the scenes. Since the early 1990s, Deacon has shunned the spotlight, retiring quietly after Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991. But now, years later, he has quietly resurfaced, lending his signature alongside bandmates Roger Taylor and Brian May on a charity auction item, signalling, perhaps, that even the most private of souls can still make their mark in unexpected ways.

Now, half a century later, Sony has announced the 50th Anniversary Expanded Edition of Horses, a release that both celebrates the legacy of the record and offers fans newly unearthed material from Smith’s early years.
