Icehouse Play First Show Of 2025 For Red Hot Summer

in News

Series one of Red Hot Summer for 2025 is underway with Icehouse headlining dates through to 29 March before series two is handed over to ZZ Top and George Thorogood.

Icehouse 2025 came with a slight adjustment. Guitarist and co-singer Michael Paynter is currently working on the new Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar. His starring moment lead vocal for ‘Man of Colours’ was dropped from this show but instead the lesser heard live ‘Fatman’ and ‘Sister’ made the setlist.
