The Working Class Man is turning 40 – and you’re all invited to the party!
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.
The tour kicks off on Saturday 22 November at Mount Duneed Estate, Geelong VIC, and then heads to Sirromet Wines, Mount Cotton QLD on Saturday 29 November; Bimbadgen, Hunter Valley NSW on Saturday 6 December; The Regatta Grounds, Hobart TAS on Saturday 17 January; Peter Lehmann Wines, Barossa Valley SA on Saturday 31 January; and Sandalford Wines, Swan Valley WA on Saturday 7 February.
Telstra Members have exclusive access to the Telstra Plus Member presale, commencing Monday 4 August at 10.00am local time for 48 hours (or until presale allocation exhausted) via telstra.com/music
MG Live and Face To Face member presales, as well as a Jimmy Barnes fan club presale, start Wednesday 6 August at 12.00pm local time, before general on sale commences Thursday 7 August at 2.00pm local time via Ticketmaster. All ticket and tour information via mg.live.
Released in December 1985, For The Working Class Man went straight to number one on the chart and helped define Jimmy’s hugely successful solo career. As the authors of The 100 Best Australian Albums declared, “It defined both him and much of Australia.”
The album spent seven weeks at number one, becoming Barnesy’s longest-running chart-topper. And it has sold more than 500,000 copies in Australia.
