Jimmy Barnes: Legendary *********** rocker to play Riverside Theatre in June as part of Defiant Tour

Legendary Aussie rocker Jimmy Barnes is back — and he’s coming to Perth.

Fresh off the heels of the 50-year anniversary tour with Cold Chisel, the ‘Working Class Man’ will be back on the road again with his own band in June for the Defiant Tour.

Never one to slow down, Barnes has been working on a new album with tracks from Defiant to drop this week.

“I’m really looking forward to getting back on stage with my band again,” he said. “I’m so proud of this new record — all the songs mean a lot to me and I can’t wait to share them with you. It’s going to be some serious fun!”

Fans will be pleased the 68-year-old — whose health battles saw him hospitalised twice over the last two years — will be back on the stage.

In 2023, Barnes underwent heart surgery to treat a bacterial infection that had spread to a valve in his heart and last August he had hip surgery after experiencing pain during his last tour.

And just last week, he posted on social media that he was back home recovering from further surgery to replace the temporary hip that was fitted just before the Big Five-0 tour.

“I can’t tell you how great it is to be home, to sleep in my own bed,” Barnes posted on X. “Thank you to the medical teams at St Vincent’s and St Luke’s hospitals who have got me back on my own two feet.
