COLD CHISEL TO PLAY SPECIAL ONE-OFF SHOW IN HOBART TO LAUNCH NEW LIVE ALBUM & DVD

PRESS RELEASE

The legendaryCold Chiselhas announced today that they will play a special one-off show on theWrest Point Lawnsin Hobart onWednesday, 22 Novemberto launch their biggest ever live release.

It will be the first timeCold Chiselhas played in Tasmania since their massiveLight The Nitro Tourback in 2011 (which remains the biggest grossing tour ever by an Australian-based band). 2015’sOne Night Stand Tourwas unable to get to Tasmania so this announcement marks an overdue payback for Taswegians.

Renowned as one of the most dynamic Australian live acts ever,Cold Chisel–Jimmy Barnes(lead vocals),Ian Moss(lead guitar/vocals),Don Walker(keyboards/backing vocals),Phil Small(bass guitar) andCharley Drayton(drums/vocals) – will perform their iconic hits such asFlame Trees, Khe Sanh, Cheap Wine, Rising SunandBow River, as well as songs from their recent gold and platinum certified albumsNo PlansandThe Perfect Crime.

Cold Chiselis one of Australia’s most revered rock outfits, with a history that spans forty years and a catalogue of songs and albums that have become part of the nation’s psyche.

“We tried everything to get to Tassie in 2015, but events and schedules conspired against us,” says guitarist Ian Moss. “We owe you one Tasmania – and now it’s payback time!”

The band will be supported by Melbourne rockersDallas Crane, in a rare Tasmanian appearance.

This one-offCold Chiselgig will follow hot on the heels of the band’s biggest live release ever as it was also announced today thatThe ’Last Stand’ of the Sydney Entertainment Centre – The Live Tapes – Vol 4will land onFriday, 10 November, 2017. The 32 songs on this release will be drawn from the band’s final two unhinged and emotional shows immediately prior to the iconic venue’s demolition in 2015. The Sydney “Ent Cent” also famously hosted the band’s 1983Last Standconcerts, so these memorable farewell gigs captured the public’s imagination, selling over 20,000 tickets within minutes.

Fans who missed out on tickets at the time will now finally have a chance to see and hearCold Chiselin all its ragged glory as they literally bring down the house. The release can be pre-ordered now on a number of formats – as a 3CD set, a 4 LP Vinyl package and a Ltd Edition 3CD/DVD set.
