Sidney Myer Music Bowl

Melburnians, it’s high time to grab a pair of drumsticks and head out for a bev, because the godfathers of Aussie pub rock have announced a tour. Cold Chisel is going on a national tour around Oz to celebrate their 50th anniversary, and we’re pleased to say it’s stopping in Melbourne. The legendary band will perform in 11 cities and regional towns across the country throughout October and November 2024. So, when is the band performing in Melbourne? Cold Chisel is playing at Flemington Racecourse on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26. So strong was demand for the band in Melbourne, they've decided to circle back around for two more shows at Sidney Myer Music Bowl on November 22 and 23.  Sydney-based indie rockers The Cruel Sea and the multi-talented musician and singer Karen Lee Andrews, will be the supporting acts for both sets of dates. These shows are just about certain to sell out, so find out more and grab your tickets at the Cold Chisel website.
