Jimmy Barnes To Headline Red Hot Summer 2019 With Joan Jett Also On The Show

by Paul Cashmere on June 25, 2018

in News

Jimmy Barnes will headline the first series of Red Hot Summer 2019 with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts making their Australian return for the first time since 2011.

Series One of the 2019 season will also feature The Living End, Diesel, Richard Clapton and Chocolate Starfish.

Promoter Duane McDonald, who established the RED HOT SUMMER TOUR over 9 years ago, had a strong vision from the start about bringing world-class rock acts to regional areas. “Our ethos starting out was to take the type of artists you would see performing at festivals in metro centres, and bring them to the regions,” he says. “Music fans are everywhere, and just because they don’t live in a capital city doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have access to some of the best live acts. We are so proud to have grown the festival to encompass dozens of shows – across three different series annually – with bills that include some of the world’s most iconic artists. We are excited about 2019 and Series One is going to rock the socks off of music fans!”

Live Music Ticket Prices Reshape Global Concert Industry As Australia Faces ‘FOMO Economy’

by Paul Cashmere The cost of seeing live music has transformed dramatically over the past four decades, with arena and stadium concert ticket prices now outpacing inflation at a rate few other entertainment sectors can match. In the mid-1980s, a major concert ticket typically cost between $12 and $15. In 2026, premium tickets for the world's biggest tours regularly exceed $500, while VIP packages can stretch beyond $1,000. The shift has fundamentally changed not only the economics of touring, but also the behaviour of audiences in Australia, North America and Europe.
