The fun continues into March and April 2026 for Jimmy Barnes, who’s extended his For The Working Class Man 40th anniversary tour.

Due to extraordinary demand, Barnes has added three more shows to an already stacked itinerary. He’ll now perform at Queensland’s Sandstone Point Hotel on Saturday, 21 March, NSW’s Centennial Vineyards on Saturday, 28 March, and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Friday, 10 April.

Telstra Plus members can access exclusive pre-sale tickets on Monday, 17 November, at 10 am local time, followed by MG Live, Face To Face, and Jimmy Barnes fan club pre-sales on Wednesday, 19 November, at 11 am local time. The general sale opens on Friday, 21 November, at 12 pm local time via the MG Live and Face To Face Touring websites.

The new shows arrive ahead of the kick-off of the Working Class Man anniversary shows, which begin next week (22 November) at the Mount Duneed Estate. Jimmy Barnes will perform throughout the rest of the year before continuing the tour in 2026—check out the tour dates below.

For the tour, Barnes will be joined by special guests and friends, ICEHOUSE, Ian Moss, and Kate Ceberano. Today, though, another special guest has joined the roster: Barnes’ own surgeon and the former singer of the band The Lonelyhearts, John Rooney, who also makes music as a solo artist. Rooney will appear at all shows, excluding those at Rod Laver Arena and the Sydney Opera House Forecourt.

“This man got me up dancing again when he operated on my hips, not once, not twice, but three times,” Barnes said. “John Rooney will get you up dancing, too.”

In addition to the tour, Mushroom Music will celebrate For The Working Class Man by releasing a special 40th anniversary edition of the record. The 40th anniversary edition of the album is out today, and can be pre-ordered here.
