RED HOT SUMMER TOUR is turning it up a notch for a scorching all-Australian line-up for the 2026 series. The renowned outdoor festival will be headlined by our most iconic and enduring singer/songwriter, Paul Kelly. The master storyteller, whose music is woven through the fabric of modern Australia, will be supported by much loved crowd favourites, Missy Higgins, The Cruel Sea, The Cat Empire, Kasey Chambers, and Jess Hitchcock.
Paul Kelly says, “The band and I have many great memories from our last Red Hot Summer tour. We’re looking forward to making some new ones!”
Paul Kelly stands as Australia’s most treasured musical storyteller, a songwriter whose four-decade career has created the soundtrack to modern Australian life. Over forty years and across thirty albums, Kelly has carved out a unique position among world songwriters through the sheer range and innovation of his work, crafting songs that span from the intimate streets of St Kilda to the vast emotional landscapes of the human experience. His legendary compositions like To Her Door, Deeper Water, and the now-classic How to Make Gravy have become part of Australia’s cultural DNA, with the latter growing from a 1996 release into a beloved Christmas anthem that captures the essence of family, regret, and hope.
