Cold Chisel’s 50th anniversary concerts were some of the most highly anticipated events of 2024, and for those who missed out (or fans who want to re-live the experience), you’ll have the opportunity to watch soon.

Filmed and recorded during their shows at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl in November, Cold Chisel – The Big Five-0 is coming soon to Channel 7.

The band announced the news on social media over the weekend, sharing a Channel 7 teaser video which notes:

“One of the greatest Australian rock bands of all time – Cold Chisel.”

Fans will be able to enjoy live renditions of classic Chisel songs, including You Got Nothing I Want, My Baby, Saturday Night, Cheap Wine, Flame Trees, Khe Sanh, Choirgirl, Standing On The Outside, and When The War Is Over, live from one of Melbourne’s most iconic music venues.

Cold Chisel - The Big Five-0 will air on Channel 7 on Sunday, 11 May, at 8 pm AEST.

The band’s mammoth The Big Five-0 tour consisted of 23 dates across the country. Reviewing one of the shows for The Daily Telegraph, Kathy McCabe remarked: “Cold Chisel give fans one of the greatest shows in Australian music history.”

Jimmy Barnes said of the 50th-anniversary tour, “Cold Chisel are never apart. We’re as close as brothers. Some of the best moments of my life have been spent on stage with those boys, and I hope we keep going ‘til the day we drop.

“The Big Five-0 is a landmark moment. There have been plenty of times where I never thought I’d live to see this day, so I’m going to make the most of it. I can’t wait to celebrate with my mates and with all the fans who have been such a big part of our story. We’re gonna smash it!”
