Iconic rock band Cold Chisel have unveiled a handful of extra shows on their highly-anticipated One Night Stand tour and are excited to announce they have coaxed Grinspoon out of an indefinite hiatus to be their special guests on 7 shows. 

After seven Top 10 albums, 13 ARIA nominations, over half a million records sold and a back catalogue that’s etched into Aussie rock history, Grinspoon made the decision to take an indefinite hiatus.

“We’re excited to see what our future holds so keep your eyes out… you never know where we might pop up next. Until then adios amigos, it’s been a blast!”

This November founding members Phil Jamieson, Pat Davern, Joe Hansen and Kristian Hopes will dust off their instruments to join fellow Aussie rock legends Cold Chisel on their national tour.

Grinspoon have been added to the already-announced One Night Stand shows at 1300SMILES Stadium in Townsville on Saturday, 7 November and at the Darwin Amphitheatre on Tuesday, 10 November and they will join Cold Chisel in Adelaide, Melbourne and on all 3 shows at the Qantas Credit Union Arena in Sydney. This return of Grinspoon will be exclusive to these shows with Cold Chisel.

"We've done a couple of really memorable shows with Grinspoon," says Cold Chisel frontman Jimmy Barnes. "They played with us on our huge return show at Homebush Stadium in 2009 and they joined us for one show on the Light The Nitro tour in 2011 and that just happened to be the biggest show of the tour. They're a great band and a really good fit with Cold Chisel."

“To say we are excited to be supporting Cold Chisel is an understatement,” says Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson. “The show we played on the Light The Nitro tour was one of the most memorable shows I have ever played in my life! Arm in arm, all of us - Pat, Joe, Kris and I. Singing at the top of our lungs to 'Flame Trees'. Grinspoon have NEVER been arm in arm before. It was a moment. I think I may have even fallen into a bush in my excitement.

“I honestly didn’t think Grinspoon would be playing together again, so to get this opportunity by such a legendary act is humbling and completely out of the box insanely totally crazy fun. Now, what the hell am I going to wear?”

Don’t miss your chance to catch the band playing with Cold Chisel this November-December because there’s no guessing when they’ll be back again!
