Red Hot Summer Reactivates For 2021
Live music is back and rocking with the Red Hot Summer tour reactivating for 2021 in Tasmania over the weekend.
Jimmy Barnes, Hoodoo Gurus, Jon Stevens, Diesel, Vika & Linda and Chris Cheney played the first Red Hot Summer show of the season in Launceston on Saturday and then Hobart Sunday.
The Red Hot Summer tour is made possible with the new Covid-safe regulations promoter Duane McDonald has enacted to ensure the safety and health of the punters. Covid rules vary per state but are clearly listed at the Red Hot Summer website. To abide by the various state Covid rules, every Red Hot Summer date has its specific regulations available for viewing ahead of the event.
