Cold Chisel Announce Additional UK Shows!Cold Chisel recently announced that they will be playing in the northern hemisphere for the first time in almost 30 years, performing alongside Bruce Springsteen, Soundgarden, Paul Simon, John Fogerty and Iggy Pop and the Stooges as part of the Hard Rock Calling weekend of shows in Hyde Park.

Glasgow-born frontman Jimmy Barnes said these shows will be a great homecoming: “I can’t wait for these UK shows. Last year’s Light The Nitro tour in Australia and New Zealand was Cold Chisel at its rock & roll best and we look forward to showing people in Glasgow, Manchester and London what they’ve been missing all these years.”

Tickets for these shows go on pre-sale at 9am Wednesday 18th April at 9am UK time. This limited allocation is available from Ticketmaster UK. (General onsale date is 20th April).

The band is currently making plans for the international release of its new album No Plans to coincide with these UK dates. Stay tuned.
