It's a Red Hot Summer

Being the sharp individuals that you are, you have probably heard all about the 2016 instalment of the Red Hot Summer Tour. The one and only Jimmy Barnes will headline the event, rocking out his greatest hits, while Noiseworks, The Angels, Mark Seymour & the Undertow and The Badloves will serve up a home-grown selection of their finest and favourites. Barnes made his name as the frontman of Cold Chisel, whose reputation as a hard-drinking wild man became the stuff of legends. Following Chisel’s break-up, Barnes released his debut solo album, Bodyswerve, in 1984.
In August, Best of the Soul Years was released, an album compiled from Soul Deep (2001), Soul Deeper… Songs from the Deep South (2000) and 2009’s The Rhythm and the Blues. Promoter Duane McDonald: “We always receive requests from audiences in regional areas to bring the tour through their town. This year we have expanded to take the Red Hot Summer Tour to new areas and new venues, which makes it the biggest run we have done for the tour to date. We can’t wait to get out on the road in 2016.” For ‘In the Loop’ readers, this means a show in Bendigo at the Bendigo Jockey Club on March 26.
