Working Class Boy

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.

Live Nation has unveiled the complete line-up for the 2025 On The Steps concert series, set to light up the Sydney Opera House Forecourt from 2-15 December.

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.

In the pantheon of Australian rock, few records have etched themselves as deeply into the nation’s cultural memory as Jimmy Barnes’ For The Working Class Man.

Jimmy Barnes will head out on a national tour in November to mark the 40th anniversary of the ‘For The Working Class Man’ album.

Movies about Jimmy Barnes, Jeff Buckley and Butthole Surfers will be featured at the 2025 Melbourne Internation Film Festival.

Swanee has posted a heartfelt video thanking everyone involved with his first album in over a decade ‘Believe’. He has his brothers Jimmy Barnes and Alan Barnes on the record and said he would have had his sister Linda had she not passed away when she did.
