The Red Hot Summer tour is heading to Toowoomba this weekend with the tour taking advantage of Northern Australia’s warmer weather over the month.

The shows still to go are Toowoomba, Southport, Bribie Island and Cairns in Queensland and Darwin in the North Territory.

Paul Kelly is headlining Red Hot Summer 2023 with Bernard Fanning, Missy Higgins, Ian Moss & Troy Cassar-Daley, Mark Seymour and Vika & Linda rounding out the festival.

Paul Kelly has up it a few notches giving the Red Hot Summer crowd a more hit orientated rock show than you may find in his own headline shows.

Bernard Fanning before him is giving the best of his solo albums with a couple of Powerfinger songs for good measure. Mark Seymour is also mixing solo songs from his new album ‘Slow Dawn’ with Hunters & Collectors.
