Assuming he survives the rigours of the Cold Chisel reunion, which ends with New Zealand dates in early December, Jimmy Barnes will be hitting the country's holiday hotspots for his annual post-Christmas summer tours. Kicking off on December 28 and running to January 8, the tour includes New Year's Eve at Ascension Wine Estate, Matakana.

Barnes and band will be accompanied by Hello Sailor and Dragon for the eight shows of the Hot Summer Highway Tour. Tickets on sale from Ticketmaster and venues.
