More informationLess information
Jimmy Barnes, is the heart and soul of Australian rock and roll. He has 22 #1 albums, more than The Beatles, and he has sold more records in Australia than any other local artist. For over 40 years he has delivered some of our most intense and iconic live performances both as a solo performer and as front man for the legendary Cold Chisel, leading him to be inducted into the ARIA Hall of fame … twice. He is truly in a league of his own.
In addition to his phenomenal music career, Jimmy has written four #1 bestselling books - his acclaimed memoirs Working Class Boy and Working Class Man (which won back to back ABIA Awards in 2017 and 2018), his 2020 collection of short stories, Killing Time and Highways and Byways: Tall Tales and Short Stories from the Long Way Round in 2024. His ever expanding oeuvre also includes two children’s books – Och Aye the Gnu and Rosie the Rhinoceros - and a cookbook with his wife Jane titled Where the River Bends.
Jimmy returned to the top of the charts in June 2025 with his 21st studio album, DEFIANT, and released a 2nd cookbook with Jane, Seasons Where the River Bends, in November 2025.
Never one to slow down, 2025 also saw “Barnesy” celebrating the 40th Anniversary of his landmark album, For the Working Class Man with the release of a new documentary as well as a series of major outdoor shows in 2025 and 2026 including special Vinyl editions of the album.
