By Tony Polese · On April 6, 2018

Working Class Man: An Evening of Stories & Songs
tour kicks off this week!
28 shows SOLD OUT!

Limited tickets still available for Mudgee, Darwin, Hobart,
Mackay, Rockhampton, Grafton and 2nd shows in Brisbane,
Adelaide and Sydney Town Hall

Jimmy Barnes, the hardest working man in
Australian rock ‘n roll, is kicking off his new Working Class Man: An Evening of Stories
& Songs tour with two sold-out shows in Thirroul commencing on Thursday with almost all
shows on the tour now SOLD OUT.

Jimmy’s critically acclaimed 2nd memoir “Working Class Man” went straight to #1 on the
Neilsen Bookscan chart. Like its predecessor “Working Class Boy”, has already been
nominated in the Non-Fiction category in the 2018 Indie Book Awards and last week the
Australian Publishers Association announced its inclusion in the Biography Book of the Year
longlist for the 2018 Australian Book Industry Awards (ABIAs).
“After the Working Class Boy tour I’m really excited to take the Working Class Man tour
out on the road. Come and see us and learn how that childhood affected the rest of my
life. You could be in for a shock” said Jimmy.

Tickets for all remaining dates are selling fast. Fans are reminded to only buy tickets by
following the direct ticket link – http://www.jimmybarnes.com/tour-dates/. People who
choose to ignore this clear advice and who instead use search engines like Google to find
tickets typically get steered to unofficial reselling sites like Viagogo that often lead to rip
offs.
The Working Class Man: An Evening of Stories & Songs tour will also help promote
the good work of Lifeline (www.lifeline.org.au) as Jimmy will be drawing further attention
to the issues of addiction and mental health in both his new book and live show.
To coincide with the release of “Working Class Man”, Bloodlines/Mushroom released a
limited edition, commemorative version of one of the greatest Australian rock albums of all
time, For The Working Class Man, which includes a never before released DVD from the
legendary Playroom in Queensland in 1984.
