Jimmy Barnes - Working Class Man January 2026
Jimmy Barnes is playing his iconic album' Working Class Man' from Start to finish this January at Peter Lehmann
The Working Class Man is turning 40 – and you’re all invited to the party at Peter Lehmann 31 January 2026!
To celebrate his landmark album For The Working Class Man, JIMMY BARNES is hitting the road for the Working Class Man 40th Anniversary Tour, proudly presented by MG Live and Face To Face Touring.
Barnesy, as he’s affectionately known, will be playing the iconic album from start to finish, taking the crowd from I’d Die To Be With You Tonight to Paradise, plus classic cuts from his chart-topping catalogue.
Joining JIMMY BARNES for these epic shows are three of the biggest stars of the Working Class Man era who are also still at the top of their game – ICEHOUSE, IAN MOSS and KATE CEBERANO.
Led by the evergreen Iva Davies, ICEHOUSE is responsible for one of the biggest Australian albums of all time – 1987’s classic Man of Colours. Two singles from the album were smash hits in the US: Electric Blue (#7) and Crazy (#14). Iva also wrote the enduring classic Great Southern Land. As author Andrew P Street said, “Great Southern Land remains one of the greatest evocations of the sheer ancient emptiness of Australia.” ICEHOUSE were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2006.
Barnesy’s Cold Chisel comrade IAN MOSS hit number one with his first solo album, Matchbook, featuring the classic Tucker’s Daughter. After eight studio albums, he recently released the acclaimed live album Live At Anita’s (“the new live album shows that Mossy’s voice is still a thing of beauty, while his guitar work remains instinctive and inventive” – STACK magazine). In 2014, Mossy’s fellow musicians ranked him as Australia’s greatest guitarist in a News Corp poll.
KATE CEBERANO was still a teenager when For The Working Class Man was released, but she was already a star, fronting the band I’m Talking. Kate has recently been embracing Oz-music’s rich past with her Australian Made: Live show – and is treating audiences to an encore on Jimmy’s tour. Boasting a setlist of her own Platinum catalogue alongside songs made famous by Cold Chisel, ICEHOUSE, Divinyls through to Sia, Bernard Fanning and Wolfmother, this is a simultaneous act of grateful reflection and bold creative evolution.
“For The Working Class Man was such a significant album in my life. I got to make the record with some amazing people, and it really set up the rest of my solo career. I’m so excited to be celebrating For The Working Class Man with some of my dearest friends and favourite artists. And I can think of no better way to mark this milestone than by performing these songs in some of the most beautiful and iconic outdoor venues across Australia.”
