Cold Chisel have announced that they will celebrate 50 years together with a truly unique tour … “The Big Five-0”

In a surprising – but apt – move, this golden anniversary party will kick off on Saturday, 5 October in Armidale, where Cold Chisel based themselves back in 1974-1975 while Don Walker completed his university studies. The tour will then lap around major Australian cities for 7 weeks before culminating on Sunday, 17 November in the city where the band formed … Adelaide.

“The Big Five-0” will be a night like no other. This time, the band isn’t touring to promote a new album; they are touring for the best possible reason … “because we all love playing gigs together”. Their anniversary provides scope for a show that features all the classic songs with which Cold Chisel carved their unique place in Oz Rock history – Khe Sanh, Bow River, Flame Trees, You Got Nothin’ I Want, When The War Is Over, My Baby, Cheap Wine, All For You, Choir Girl, Last Wave Of Summer, Saturday Night, Breakfast At Sweethearts, Forever Now and so many more.

Limited tickets will go on sale to members of Cold Chisel’s mailing list (sign up here) from 12.00pm (local times) on Friday, 31 May. General Public on sale will begin at 12.00pm (local times) on Tuesday, 4 June.

Cold Chisel will grace the Gold Coast on Tuesday October 8 at Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Broadbeach with special guest Karen Lee Andrews.
