Who’s playing at Red Hot Summer Tour in 2025
Aussie classic rock artists will hit the stage when Red Hot Summer Tour comes to Mannum on the River Murray in January.
The Red Hot Summer Tour is returning to Australia in January, February and March 2025 for eight shows of classic Australian music.
Australian rock band Icehouse will headline the tour, with other Aussie legends featured including Wolfmother, Baby Animals, Noiseworks, Killing Heidi, Eskimo Joe and Bachelor Girl.
The Red Hot Summer Tour is known for its Australian rock tunes, with past headliners including Jimmy Barnes, INXS and The Angels.
The tour will hit Mannum on Saturday, January 11 as part of the town’s annual ‘Sounds By The River’ all-ages event at Mary Ann Reserve.
‘Sounds By The River’ has become a significant event for the Mannum community, celebrating a variety of local music and arts and attracting visitors from the surrounding regions for over a decade.
General admission patrons are encouraged to bring a camp chair to the event, as the performance will be held in an open grass area adjacent to the River Murray.
This will be the third time that headliner Icehouse will perform at the Sounds By The River festival, with the band being renowned for their unofficial Australian anthem ‘Great Southern Land’.
Sydney-based hard rock band Wolfmother have been around for over 20 years with tunes such as ‘Joker and the Thief’. Australian pop-rock duo Bachelor Girl will perform plenty of music of the 90s and 2000s, offering a generous mix of hits to get you dancing.
