Duane McDonald’s Red Hot Summer tour has had its best season ever with record crowds and the longest tour so far.

After starting on January 14 in Mornington, Victoria, the tour has travelled the nation and still has four more shows to go for Queensland and the Northern Territory.

Paul Kelly has been a first timer on the Red Hot Summer line-up and is headlining the tour with a line-up featuring Bernard Fanning, Missy Higgins, Mark Seymour, Ian Moss & Troy Cassar-Daley, Vika & Linda.

Last weekend, Red Hot Summer paid a visit to Jacobs Creek in Queensland.
