The Red Hot Summer Tour's 2020 lineup is set to be one of the finest celebrations of Aussie to rock ever hit the road! The festival first kicked off in 2011 with just three artists on the bill, playing six shows across Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia, and has since outgrown its humble beginnings to boast some of the biggest names in Aussie rock.
Starting in January, the Red Hot Summer team will be taking a special anniversary tour on the road for an extensive run of national dates, hitting every state and territory along the way. Beloved pub-rock icons, Hunters & Collectors will top the bill, performing their first live shows since 2017.
“The lads are very excited to be getting out into all the regional towns that made them welcome when they were touring at their peak throughout Australia,” explained lead singer Mark Seymour. “This tour is going to be huge.”

And the all-star Aussie lineup it doesn’t end there! Australian Crawl frontman, James Reyne will be joining the bill, ahead of The Living End, The Angels, Baby Animals, Killing Heidi, and Boom Crash Opera.
The tour kicks off at the Bendigo Racecourse on January 4th and will travel all over the country throughout the coming months. Punters all over Australia - from Queensland’s tropical north, all the way to Western Australia, the Northern Territory, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales - will get a chance to take in the massive show.
“The past 10 years have gone so fast and we have been so proud to see the RED HOT SUMMER TOUR continue to grow each year,” says McDonald. “The support we have received from audiences has been phenomenal. To everyone who has attended a Red Hot Summer Tour show over the last decade – thank you. You are the reason we do what we do, and will continue to bring you the best quality music experience, every year. We can’t wait to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Red Hot Rock with music fans around the country.”
