JIMMY BARNES
For the Working Class Man 40th Anniversary
“For The Working Class Man was such a significant album in my life. I got to make the record with some amazing people, and it really set up the rest of my solo career. I’m so excited to be celebrating For The Working Class Man with some of my dearest friends and favourite artists. And I can think of no better way to mark this milestone than by performing these songs in some of the most beautiful and iconic outdoor venues across Australia.” - Jimmy Barnes

LIMITED EDITION 40th ANNIVERSARY
For the working class man 40th anniversary
For The Working Class Man is packed with classics, including Jimmy’s first Top 10 solo single ‘I’d Die To Be With You Tonight’, the Top 40 smash ‘Ride The Night Away’, and the beautiful ballad that he wrote for his wife Jane, ‘Without Your Love’. And, of course, the album features his signature song, the unofficial national anthem, ‘Working Class Man’. For the Working Class Man also includes seven reworked songs from his chart-topping solo debut Bodyswerve, including ‘No Second Prize’, ‘Daylight’ and ‘Promise Me You’ll Call’.
The album’s cultural impact is undeniable, it continues to hold lasting significance in the DNA of Australian music.
Recently included in the triple j Hottest 100 of Australian Songs and ahead of a not-to-be-missed performance of ‘Working Class Man’ at this weekend’s 65th TV Week Logie Awards, the juggernaut that is Jimmy Barnes is showing no signs of slowing down.
The documentary based on his best-selling memoir Working Class Man will also be screening at the Melbourne International Film Festival and will premiere exclusively on Seven and 7plus later this year.
WORKING CLASS MAN 40th ANNIVERSARY TOUR
This November, it’ll be 40 years since I released For The Working Class Man, and I think that’s a pretty good reason to celebrate. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be heading out on the Working Class Man 40th Anniversary Tour in November, playing the whole album from start to finish, plus a bunch of other favourites from over the years.
We’ll be playing some incredible outdoor venues across the country and will be joined by some dear friends - ICEHOUSE, Ian Moss and Kate Ceberano.
It’s going to be a hell of a show.
