Jimmy Barnes Tour Starts in Two Weeks

Jimmy Barnes Tour Starts in Two Weeks

• Meet Jimmy in Person at JB HIFI
• Tickets from Only $65

Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes kicks off his national 30:30 Hindsight tour in two weeks time at Hamilton's Claudeland's Arena.

Tickets are available from just $65 in Hamilton, Auckland and Christchurch.

And Aucklanders are in luck as Jimmy will be making a rare in-store appearance at JB HIFI Queen St for a special meet and greet with fans!

Fans can head to 280 Queen St on their lunch breaks to see the legendary Aussie rocker in person at 12:30pm.

The 30:30 Hindsight Tour will be a celebratory tour of his hits, with Jimmy Barnes playing two of his classic albums (For The Working Class Man and Freight Train Heart) in their entirety, as well as hits from his entire career.

Jimmy has been nominated for Best Rock Album in the 2014 ARIA Awards and his album is close to platinum across the ditch.

Currently playing shows in Australia:

"The Barnes storm was gathering and there was nothing you could do to stop it. Soulful guitar licks peppered the track while his two daughters and wife crooned. The Working Class Man album would be the first on show as pounding percussion welcomed No Second Prize as the height of patriotism could be felt in the air so much that the faint smell of Vegemite became present.

The second act featured the entirety of his album Freight Train Heart and began with Driving Wheels that had whirling guitar and flicking mullets...The crowd screeched the lyrics back in sheer devotion."

His encore would be the cherry on top of a stellar performance. Flame Trees urged punters to wrap their sweaty arms around one another as they swayed to the tepid guitar and deep bass lines.Lay Down Your Guns would complete his dynamic and intense set with ferocious keys and fiery percussion as the fans slowly sifted out of the venue wiping the remnants of the evening from their trickling foreheads."- Jessica Holten, The Music.com.au
