Speaking in anticipation of the tour, Paul Kelly voiced how much he and his fellow performers are looking forward to taking the stage. “The last two years have brought home how precious live music is. To us and to those who come. We need each other. We’re going to bring it, give our all and play each show as if it’s our last. Because you never know what’s around the corner” Kelly said.
Touring through largely regional communities across the country, Red Hot Summer Tour will play a spread of shows in towns like Bendigo, Victor Harbor, Wodonga, Launceston and Toowomba just to name a few.
Tour promoter Duane McDonald said the team “can’t wait to hit the road again in 2023”. “We are so excited about this line-up and the regions we will be visiting,” he said. “The amount of hits produced by these artists is incredible.”
“The tour has always been about taking great music to the regions and supporting phenomenal Australian artists. We are so grateful to be able to continue to do this, and to share these experiences with all the music fans who continue to turn out year after year” he said.
