Cold Chisel share major announcement
Cold Chisel have announced a national tour to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
The iconic Aussie rock band will visit a number of capital cities for The Big Five-O tour, which will be a celebration of their biggest hits spanning five decades.
The anniversary party will kick off in the NSW city of Armidale on October 5th, paying tribute to the town where they based themselves out of in the early days of their career.
In the months after undergoing open heart surgery, Cold Chisel frontman Jimmy Barnes said touring Australia was a number one priority.
"The Big Five-0 is a landmark moment," Barnes said.
"There have been plenty of times where I never thought I'd live to see this day so I'm going to make the most of it."
"I can't wait to celebrate with my mates and with all the fans who have been such a big part of our story. We're gonna smash it!"
