Cold Chisel To Play Second And Final Sydney Entertainment Show

When Jimmy and Jane Barnes first invited Australia into their kitchen with Where The River Bends in 2021, they shared not just recipes, but a window into their home life, love and family. Now, four years later, the Barnes family are back with Seasons Where The River Bends, the eagerly anticipated follow-up that once again blends food, family and music in the way only the Barneses can. The new cookbook will be released through HarperCollins Australia on Tuesday, 28 October 2025.

Australian rock legend John Swan, better known as Swanee, has achieved something that until now existed only as a family dream. For the first time in history, the Barnes brothers, Swanee, Jimmy Barnes and Alan Barnes, have stepped into a studio together to record a track.

For over four decades, Cold Chisel have defined Australian rock, gritty, poetic, and unashamedly real. Their nine studio albums chart a journey from smoky pub stages to the nation’s biggest arenas, each release offering a snapshot of a band that constantly evolved while staying true to its heart.

If you saw the Cold Chisel ‘The Big Five-O’ tour multiple times you may have noticed a random rotation of Ian Moss songs from concert to concert.

Cold Chisel’s ‘The Big Five-O Live’ show, recently broadcast of television, will be available on CD, vinyl, DVD and Blu-Ray in August.

Jimmy Barnes has played the first show of the Defiant tour in Adelaide, South Australia, on the day his 21st solo album ‘Defiant’ was released and showcases how ‘Defiant’ is an album from show ready songs to play live.

With Jimmy Barnes’ 21st solo album ‘Defiant’ just a week away, here is another preview. The opening track is a Barnes rocker 'That’s What You Do For Love’.
