Lovers of classic Aussie rock will be spoilt when Red Hot Summer Tour unleashes its first series of 2025 headlined by local legends, new wave rockers ICEHOUSE.
To kick off the first Saturday of 2025 in Mornington, Red Hot Summer Tour will then travel to Mannum, Coffs Harbour, Gold Coast, Newcastle, South Coast, Swan Valley and Wodonga from January to March offering a live dose of colossal songs that will ensure a day of escapism and nostalgia for music lovers of all ages.Led by charismatic frontman Iva Davies, ICEHOUSE have built a career across 45-plus years with a string of iconic Australian hits including 'Electric Blue', 'Crazy', 'Hey Little Girl' and 'No Promises' alongside the unofficial Australian anthem, 'Great Southern Land'.
Set to join ICEHOUSE is another Aussie '80s pub-rock staple, Noiseworks featuring original members Jon Stevens, Steve Balbi, and Kevin Nicol parading their bangers 'Take Me Back', 'No Lies', 'Touch' and 'Hot Chilli Woman' alongside material from 2022 album 'Evolution', their first studio record in 30 years.
Recognised globally with such certified classics as 'Joker And The Thief' and 'Woman', Wolfmother are infused with the spirit of 1970s rock & roll, Andrew Stockdale oozing frontman swagger that's best enjoyed live.
They'll be joined by eight-time ARIA Award-winning rock-pop group Eskimo Joe, the veteran WA trio nearing 30 years service as doyens of the alternative scene who've successfully cultivated a mainstream following with such hits as 'From The Sea' and 'Black Fingernails, Red Wine'.
Led by Suze DeMarchi, Baby Animals owned the Australian radio waves in the early '90s, winning Album Of The Year, Breakthrough Artist - Album and Breakthrough - Single awards at the 1992 ARIA Awards. The band will serenade Red Hot Summer Tour revellers with such hits as 'One Word', 'Rush You', 'Early Warning', and 'Painless'.
The Red Hot Summer Tour 2025 line-up is rounded out by Killing Heidi and Bachelor Girl. Centred around siblings Ella and Jesse Hooper, Killing Heidi stormed the Australian scene in the early 2000s, winning four ARIA Awards (including Best Group and Album Of The Year for their debut album 'Reflector'). Grunge-pop act Bachelor Girl are best known for their hit 'Buses And Trains' which was the most-played Australian song on radio in 1998.
Tickets on sale from 10am (local time) on 19 September.
