Cold Chisel’s 2024 performance from the iconic Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne last November will screen on the 7 Network in Australia this Sunday.
Cold Chisel played two shows at the Bowl on 22 and 23 November, 2025. Noise11 was there, read the review.
Over 250,000 fans around Australia saw Chisel on The Big Five-O tour. The Myer Music Bowl night was a hot one. They played to a 37 degree sweating audience.
“Every show on our Big Five-0 Tour had something special, but the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, with 37° temperatures and an incredible audience, really brought out a blistering and joyous performance from all of us onstage,” says frontman, Jimmy Barnes. “The crowd nearly drowned us out, they sang so loud and proud. It was a show we will never forget,” he continued.

“50 years old, Cold Chisel are on fire in this film – I’ve never seen audiences punching the air one moment, openly sobbing the next,” says producer Paul Clarke. “I feel like we caught them on a brilliant night in Melbourne. According to the band, they have never played better.” (Clarke was also involved with ‘John Farnham: Finding The Voice’ and ‘Midnight Oil: The Hardest Line and Blood and Thunder’.)
