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.

Ever since the announcement UK and European fans have been screaming for more, asking if the band will be playing their own shows.

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.

Meanwhile, two very special ‘One Night Only’ shows take place at the Hordern Pavilion, Sydney (Wednesday April 18) and Festival Hall, Melbourne (Thursday April 19) and these be the final chance to see Cold Chisel play in Australia in 2012. The band release 500 additional tickets for each show this week.

The two special ‘One Night Only’ shows coincide with the release of the album No Plans, Cold Chisel’s first studio album in 14 years. The band have no plans for any further Australian shows in 2012, so this will be the only chance to catch Cold Chisel live this year. No Plans, which is receiving unanimous 4 and 5 star reviews and hailed by critics and fans alike as amongst the band’s best-ever, debuted at # 2 on the ARIA Album chart and is now officially Gold.

In a unique initiative, Wednesday’s Hordern Pavilion show will be beamed live via satellite to cinemas around the country by CinemaLive.

A final 500 tickets have just been released for each show.

Cold Chisel’s Ian Moss was discharged from hospital this morning after a freak accident saw him hospitalised for a week. Last Monday, the legendary guitarist was bitten on the hand by his family’s cat, leaving the middle finger of his left hand severely infected and badly swollen. After 7 days on intravenous antibiotics, doctors have given Moss the ‘all clear’ to perform with Cold Chisel at the Hordern Pavilion this Wednesday (April 18) and Festival Hall, which has been rescheduled to this Thursday (April 19).

“I’ve heard every cat joke known to man and have been going stir crazy couped up in hospital” said Moss. “Fortunately I’ve had a guitar in my room for the last 48 hours, helping me get match fit for the shows. I can’t wait to get back on stage and slam these new songs and all of our classics.”

Cold Chisel have released a series of exclusive, never-before-seen videos of the band making ‘No Plans’.

Explore candid in studio footage, the band recording tracks and video outtakes of the new songs – including the new single ‘Everybody’ and ‘All For You’.

Last week, the band also appeared on A Current Affair on Channel 9. You can watch the exclusive interview on the A Current Affair website.

No Plans is out now in Australia and New Zealand. You can purchase the album on iTunes.

Thursday April 12 Melbourne Festival Hall Concert to Thursday April 19

Ian Moss involved in freak accident

Due to a freak accident to guitarist Ian Moss, the Cold Chisel show planned for Thursday April 12 at Festival Hall has been rescheduled to Thursday April 19. All tickets purchased are transferrable to the new show. If ticketholders are unable to attend the rescheduled show, refunds will be available from the point of purchase. Cold Chisel sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused.

The legendary guitarist was bitten on the hand by his family’s cat late yesterday. The bite left his middle finger severely infected and badly swollen, rendering him unable to play guitar. Such is the nature of the injury that Moss is being kept in hospital on an intravenous drip. Doctors confirmed today that Moss will be unable to play this Thursday but they are optimistic that he will be fully recovered ahead of the band’s Hordern Pavilion show next Wednesday (April 18).

Cold Chisel are in the middle of a run of shows around the country to launch their new album ‘No Plans’, which hit stores on Good Friday. The band triumphantly headlined Bluesfest at Byron Bay last Thursday night to 15,000 and then played a sold-out show to 11,000 Perth fans at Sandalford Winery, Swan Valley.

Despite rescheduling the Melbourne show, Moss was in good spirits today and is confident he will be back on his feet (and hands) for the Hordern Pavilion show next Wednesday, which is being beamed via satellite to cinemas around the country by CinemaLive.

“I’m sorry to inconvenience our fans who had tickets for Thursday in Melbourne,” said Moss from his hospital bed. “It’s amazing that something like a cat bite can lead to a postponed show – that’s what happens when you call your album No Plans. Sorry to be a pussy, I look forward to making amends next week.”
