The Tour Rider – 13th September: Jimmy Barnes, Bruce Springsteen + Many More!

You don’t have a lot of time. You’re a busy person. You have boutique burger or burrito joints to share ‘Grammable pics of. You have ‘Stranger Things’ to watch. You have internet arguments with people who are far more qualified to comment on things to engage in. We know how full your schedule is. That’s why we at AAA want to save you some time, so we have put together our very first ‘who’s announced a tour you should worry about’, a.k.a The Tour Rider!

Contained in this magical document we have the best tour announcements that come across our editorial desk (and even a few that we had to go searching for), so read up if you want to show up! The Tour Rider is published bi-weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays!

Jimmy Barnes – ‘Working Class Boy’ Tour

Cold Chisel frontman Jimmy Barnes is breaking new ground on an upcoming spoken-word tour that coincides with the release of his first published book. The Aussie rock icon is embarking on the ‘Working Class Boy: An Evening Of Stories And Songs’ tour, which will see a departure from arenas and pubs and instead hit theatre stages around the country, including The Sydney Opera House, Brisbane City Hall, and the Regent Theatre in Melbourne.

Set to be an intimate evening with stories taken from Barnes’s troubled childhood through to his rebellious adolescence, and will feature stripped back performances of key songs akin to his previous ‘Flesh & Wood’ acoustic tour.

Bruce Springsteen – ‘The River’ Australian Tour

Bruce Springsteen (a.k.a The Boss) and the E Street Band are returning to Aussie shores on the critically acclaimed ‘The River Tour’ in early 2017. As a sneaky surprise, Australian rock heroes Jet have been announced as a support act on select shows. The tour is set to hit the capital mainland cities, as well as special performances at Hanging Rock (VIC) and The Hunter Valley (NSW).

Throughout a career of over 40 years, The Boss and his band have earned their place as one of the greatest live acts in history, with high-energy, marathon concerts often 3+ hours in length. Springsteen is set to release his autobiography ‘Born To Run’ and greatest hits compilation “Chapter And Verse”, featuring five unreleased songs, later this month.
