Cold Chisel Marks 50 Years with Exciting Live Album and Film Release

## Exciting New Releases from Cold Chisel

Legendary Australian rock band Cold Chisel is gearing up for their 50th anniversary with an exciting DVD and vinyl release. This occasion celebrates their remarkable journey and the successful *Big Five-0 Tour*.

## The *Big Five-0 Tour*

During this sold-out tour, Cold Chisel captivated over 250,000 fans across Australia and New Zealand in late 2024 and early 2025. One of the highlights was their performance at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on November 23rd. This concert will be featured in full on the upcoming CD and vinyl, showcasing a total of 24 songs along with three bonus tracks: “Plaza,” “Mr Crown Prosecutor,” and “Wild Colonial Boy.”

> “Every show on our *Big Five-0 Tour* had something special, but the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, with 37° temperatures and an incredible audience, really brought out a blistering and joyous performance from all of us onstage,” says Jimmy Barnes.

The atmosphere was electrifying, with fans singing so loudly it was almost overwhelming. “The crowd nearly drowned us out, they sang so loud and proud. It was a show we will never forget,” Jimmy added.

## Unique Vinyl Editions

Cold Chisel will offer the vinyl in three editions: classic black, a vibrant red-and-black splatter exclusive to JB Hi-Fi, and a limited-edition picture disc available through their official merchandise store.

### Behind-the-Scenes Documentary

Accompanying the music releases, director Andrew Lord collaborated with writer and producer Paul Clarke to create a DVD that offers fans a peek behind the scenes of their anniversary tour, showcasing Cold Chisel’s five-decade legacy.

The 90-minute documentary includes interviews with all five band members, rare photographs, backstage moments, and 10 additional live tracks from the tour.

> “At 50 years old, Cold Chisel are on fire in this film,” says producer Paul Clarke. “I’ve never seen audiences punching the air one moment and openly sobbing the next.”

## Release Information

Cold Chisel’s *The Big Five-0 Live* CD, vinyl, and DVD are set to release on Friday, August 8th. The anticipation for this release is palpable as fans can pre-order it via Universal Music Australia.
