Jimmy Barnes in New Zealand tour dates 2026

Recent tour reviews

• I recently saw Jimmy at Roche Estate for the Red Hot Summer Tour. He was awesome. The crowds love him and go wild when he sings the most popular songs, especially Khe Sanh. 12,000 people singing along is a very powerful moment. The only downside to the night are those few rude people that violently push past you to get closer to the stage and if you say something they swear at you as if you’re in the wrong. Otherwise I had a great day and will definitely see Jimmy again.

• Jimmy was as awesome as ever. Never get tired of listening to his voice which like good wine seems to get better with age. Is there anything he can't sing. Seems just as natural with his latest soul and R&B numbers as his old hard rock, managing to sneak in his signature screaches seamlessly delighting the audience and with great support from the next generation of talented musicians and back up singers including family. Very entertaining night at a classy venue at the Palais theatre, St Kilda. Can't wait till next performance Barnesy. Sam I.

• Jimmy was off his form or something on the last evening of the Big Red Bash. His throat sounded like it was affected by a cold. He seemed to struggle to get volume over his band and his interaction with the audience was lacking. He had a hard act to follow. The Angels were power charged, interactive and entertaining. All in all, Jimmy's performance that night was okay, but not up to par with the performances I have seen of his before.
