Legendary Australian rockers Grinspoon have announced they will return from their indefinite hiatus this November to support pub rock icons Cold Chisel as they make the rounds on their highly anticipated One Night Stand tour.

The beloved Lismore rockers boast a discography of seven classic albums, hit singles like ‘Chemical Heart’ and ‘Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills’, some 13 ARIA Award nominations, and countless well-received live shows over their 18-year career.

They announced a hiatus back in 2013 and Cold Chisel have now managed to persuade frontman Phil Jamieson, guitarist Pat Davern, bassist Joe Hansen, and drummer Kristian Hopes to get the band back together for seven special shows.

“We’ve done a couple of really memorable shows with Grinspoon,” said 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.” Jamieson is similarly excited about the upcoming dates, saying in a recently released statement, “To say we are excited to be supporting Cold Chisel is an understatement.”

“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 & 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?”

Grinspoon’s upcoming appearances will be exclusive to Cold Chisel’s One Night Stand tour, so if you want to catch Phil and the boys doing what they do best one more time, make sure you get your tickets – check all the details below.
