Announced by Sydney Coliseum Theatre, West HQ earlier today, it was unveiled that Australian rock icon Jimmy Barnes will be performing at the venue for one night only on Thursday 17 March 2022, together with The Jane Barnes Band as the headlining act for Great Southern Nights 2022.
In a statement attributed to the artist, Barnes expressed his excitement around being involved in this event: “We’re excited to be playing as part of Great Southern Nights again this year. It’s a great initiative and we’re looking forward to coming back to raise the roof of the Sydney Coliseum in March”.
The performance, titled The Barnes Family Show will be held at Sydney Coliseum Theatre on Thursday 17 March 2022 from 7.30pm. Tickets, priced at a flat rate of $95.70, can be purchased while available through the show’s official website. As with all special events during a rather tumultuous time in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, everything around this show could be subject to change at the last minute – so be sure to keep your eyes out on your inbox in the day’s leading to the event.
Great Southern Nights is described as “a celebration of live music that takes place right across New South Wales”. The dynamic event features hundreds of COVID-safe performances at live music venues across Greater Sydney and regional NSW in March and April 2022.
We are delighted to welcome back the incomparable Jimmy Barnes perform at the Sydney Coliseum Theatre and once again be a part of this fabulous initiative to help revive the hard-hit live music industry.
Richard Errington – CEO for Sydney Coliseum Theatre, West HQ
I am thrilled that Jimmy Barnes, a legend of Australian music, will kick off Great Southern Nights at a first-class venue like the Sydney Coliseum in the heart of Western Sydney.
Great Southern Nights is a tried and tested initiative to get the live music scene back on its feet in NSW. It is a celebration of Australian music that will get artists, crew and venue staff working again, so I can’t think of a better way to start the program than with the ‘Working Class Man’ himself.
