Icehouse will headline Red Hot Summer 2025 on a bill with an all Australian line-up of Noiseworks, Wolfmother, Eskimo Joe, Baby Animals, Killing Heidi and Bachelor Girl.

Icehouse (most recent album ‘Big Wheel, 1993)
Noiseworks (most recent album ‘Evolution, 2022 succeeded ‘Love Verses Money’ 1991)
Wolfmother (most recent album ‘Rock Out, 2021)
Eskimo Joe (most recent album ‘Wastelands, 2013)
Baby Animals (most recent album ‘This Is Not The End, 2013)
Killing Heidi (most recent album ‘Killing Heidi, 2004)
