Australia’s favourite working-class hero, Jimmy Barnes, is a true legend in our nation’s rock’n’roll history. Over the past 45 years, good ol’ Barnesy has racked up 21 number ones on the Aussie album charts – more than The Beatles – and sold more records nationwide than any other local artist. Now, to celebrate the release of his latest studio album, Defiant, the Adelaide-raised singer-songwriter is hitting the road for a nationwide tour this June, stopping in six of Australia’s capital cities. This exciting news comes just months after Barnes wrapped up Cold Chisel’s 50th anniversary tour.
