Jimmy Barnes, Richie Sambora & Orianthi To Headline Brand New Aussie Music Festival

Australia just scored a brand new summer rock festival. 

The Under The Southern Stars event will head to the NSW and Vic coastal locations of Forster Tuncurry and Mornington Peninsula in January, which is to be headlined some huge rock heavyweights in Jimmy Barnes and Richie Sambora & Orianthi.

"This is a bill I'm looking forward to being a part of!" Barnes said.

"This show will definitely rock. In the middle of summer, what would you want to do but get out with your mates and have a party?  Join us. I think there will be a few surprises on the day."

Other names confirmed on the bill include Diesel, Richard Clapton, Ash Grunwald and Dallas Crane.

Tickets for both dates go on sale on Monday, 13 November; click on theGuide.
