Aussie rock staples Icehouse are commemorating the anniversary of one of the biggest songs in the Australian music landscape, with a pair of very special concerts set to hit Queensland next May.

Legendary Australian Crawl frontman James Reyne, rock megastars The Angels, Aus stalwarts Baby Animals, pop icon Vanessa Amorosi, My Island Home singer Christine Anu and Isol-Aid grant recipient Emily Wurramara will all be along for the ride.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring this special line-up for the Red Hot Summer tour to two of our favourite locations in Queensland, while celebrating one of the biggest songs in Australian history,” said promoter Duane McDonald
